    I think safe enough, yes.

    Hatton ought to be going for the European title..... one glaring thing missing from his record!

    Hatton knows he would lose to McCloskey.

    I think it is an easy fight.

    I mean McCloskey is at a different level to Barrie Jones and Barrie got robbed in his fight against M'baye.

    M'Baye used to be a decent fighter as shown against N'dou and Kotelnik, but he's lost his way. Not sure where his motivation has gone to be losing to the likes of Rees and struggling like hell with Bazza Jones.

    McCloskey should be fighting Witter really which is a far more difficult fight to call.

    Its a decent step up. Mbaye is a former belt holder that had a close fight with Kotelnik.

    Whens it happening. I take it Witter vs Alexander is nailed on to.

    That's what I was thinking. Yet again bad management because their was an opportunity to fight either McCloskey or Witter - yet now they have their own fights lined up and Olusegun has nothing.

    Good fight! A decent name while at the same time a winnable fight for him. At least some fighters have some decent management and are going for it.

    Should be a win and a good name on the record. If Witter wins his World title the two should get it on in a British world title fight.

    Ajose will, in 10 years time, look back and regret having his current mangenent team. They are probably the worse in the World bar none but Jorge Linares's.

    Ajose needs to step upto 8 rounders before he fights for the title. Personally I think he should stay with the 6 rounders until 2010.

    isnt Ajose ranked number four with the WBC.

    Theres another thread just started saying McCloskey is fighting AO for the Comm/Brit title on June 12th. Says its 80% done.
