Can you explain McDonell/Ward because I certainly cant. Why would he vacate if his promoter made the agreement. (Hobson promotes McDonnell).
:huh Yeah i just read it now and he's agreed?. All i can think is he's looking to keep active and wait on Santa Cruz to drop the belt?.
Or Hobson also promotes Hall and he is hoping that he beats Wale so he can have Hall v Ward for the vacant belt?
Yeah i'd say so, I don't really know ins and outs of Purse bids but maybe McDonnell has agreed and will then vacate and Hobson will have Ward vs Hall on his show as you say. Not sure but really can't see McDonnell dropping back to domestic level..
Definitely a no win situation for McDonnell so I admire that I guess he wants the Lonsdale. By rights he could just stay inactive and wait for his shot. Plenty of British fighters have done it recently when in a similar position.
Yeah would make sense to put it on there and it's a really interesting battle that. Ryan Walsh vs Kid Galahad. I wonder if that goes ahead?. Galahad seemed to be skirting around and going through international and intercontinental title routes so be strange to then see him go for the English title. If Murphy vs Gethin is in London i'm there. That's gonna be unreal both guys fight!.
Cos Walsh is no longer with he who must not be named I could see him taking the Galahad fight but as you say why would Galahad go for that when he holds an international belt even if it aint worth anything. Gethin/Murphy has war written all over it.
Well there's talk of Santa Cruz moving up to fight Mares so hopefully Mcdonnell will fight for the vacant title.
If Murphy vs Gethin is in London i'm there. That's gonna be unreal both guys fight!.[/quote] fights in wolvo in jan mate gunna b a decent card from wat i here
Why is Selby not fighting til February? He's only fought once in 2012. Just as he was building his name off a string of impressive stoppages, his momentum has been halted.
