    Oral-Zuniga IBF eliminator!
    Promoters Ahmet Öner and Alfredo Marchio have agreed to co-promote an IBF middleweight elimination bout between #15 Mahir "The Lion" Oral (21-1-2, 8 KOs) and #10 Fulgencio Zuniga (20-2-1, 17 KOs) in Hamburg in

    . The winner will automatically be ranked in the vacant #1 spot. "That's the chance I have been waiting for," said Oral. "I've been working hard to make my way into the ratings. Now I can show everybody that I got what it takes to go all the way to the top. I will beat Zuniga and go on to dethrone 'King Arthur' Abraham." After his latest victory against Murat Mahmudov in July, Mahir has had to undergo surgery on his right hand twice. "The last couple of months have been the hardest time of my life," continued Oral. "Especially as I felt that I was on the best way to the top of my game after beating Spada. Now I have only been running for weeks unable to use my right hand in training. On the other hand I have never been that fired up in my whole career. I start preparing for Zuniga right now to make sure that I'll be in the shape of my life in February."


    Where's our little friend, bumdujour?:huh

    Patients mate patients....before long Bute and Diaconu will be known and probably hugged on here pretty hard:yep Butes unfortunate stroke of luck lately is for the most part circumstantial...also it wouldnt hurt a good promoter like Arum, Oscar, or Lou to help these champions out:good

    zuniga is 11 at middle.

    as for sanavia, im sure his management (sauerland events) would have let him pull out and vacate the euro belt in order to get a title shot.

    bika has been beaten, but would be a better challenge than joppy and would get him more exposure (if he fought him in the usa).

    miranda im sure would dump his fight with pascal for a challenge vs bute.
    in fact he would be the ideal opponent to get bute on us tv.

    stieglitz and andrade are fighting an eliminator.........but either would be glad to get a titleshot without having to fight eachother.

    haussler is not fighting anyone and is regarded by his team as basically done. so why was he unavailable??

    It makes me sick to have to defend Interbox for making this match-up...but yeah: They tried and couldn't make a much better fight. So, with Green, Miranda, Zuniga, Hanshaw, Mendy out of the picture, they could have gone for a good journeyman no one in the USA has heard of, or Joppy...who's been with the big boys.

    Sanavia is defending his title against Haussler! He was robbed of a victory in their last match. Miranda didn't take the fight apparently because it wasn't on US TV - ask Pantera2000.

    You are sure, you are sure...:roll:

    I am sure you don't like Bute! :hi:

    :hi:

    so what about zuniga:hi:

    both sanavia and haussler have the same promoter. sauerland events would certainly cancel the fight if either one could get a shot. if they have been approached that is.....:yep.

    and you are saying that everyone that critizises bute or his choice of opponent dislikes him??:huh

    That means you like bute no matter what he does ehy??

    that is the defenition of NUTHUGGER!!!

    congrats:hi:

    Why are there 2 Bute threads?

    Surely the main forum only has room for 1 Bute thread and the rest of them should be Calzaghe-Hopkins, Gay/Mayweather and The Heavies are **** related.

    Only people who criticise Bute's choice of opponent as strongly as you are are people who are badly misinformed...like you are, or irrational haters...like you are!:hi:

    he doesnt have to. he can dump the euro belt.........as many do when fighting for a world title.

    and haussler could fight for the vacant belt. or the other way around.

    both have the same manager.........so no problem there. you should have known this. you are so smart, right??but i guess both are a little too tough eyh:lol:

    You little nuthugger you:smooch
