Should Erdei stay at cruiser? Your thoughts post the Fragomeni fight

I had Erdei ahead with 3 or 4 points. It was a not a great technical fight but a real given and taken.
But the Cruiserweight is not the right weightclass for Erdei

 

116-113 for Erdei on my card. Stupid 114-114 score, Erdei outclassed Fragomeni in the first 4 rounds, then it was a 50-50 brawl. What a fight!

The Erdei-Fragomeni contract was signed 3 weeks ago when the Erdei-Cloud negotiations failed, so he had no time to adjust to 200, therefore came in 18 pounds lighter and still won. But he's no cruiserweight, he got very very tired, so he should definitely go back to LHW.

Brave effort, great fight, and a deserving new champ. But he must go back to 175.

 

I had Erdei winning 115-113. No way should he stay at cruiser though. He'd get killed by someone like Huck or Arslan.

 

BigBone, you wouldn't have any additional details on how/why the Erdei-Cloud negotiations fell through, would you? I've heard just that bit before, but I've heard no details as to why.

 

The only info I have is that Universum reached out for both the Campillo (WBA) and Cloud (IBF) camps for a unification fight and neither team were eager to face Erdei. But the Campillo fight ultimately fell off due to the post-Shumenov drug-test scandal (I believe the Campillo sample never reached the lab) and the signed 2010 Las Vegas rematch.

 

Both showed a lot of heart! erdei looked more tired than fragomeni!
If fragomeni had a little bit more punching power erdei would be gone!
But anyways it was about time that frogomeni looses the title and let the younger guys battle it out! Erdei wont stay at cruiser they said today so!

 

didnt even watch it. id rather stick pins in my eyes than watch erdei

 

Campillo couldn't fight Erdei if he wanted to because of Campillo's situation with Shumenov. I'm sure Universum made a complete lowball offer to Cloud (with tons of options by Universum, because that's they're style), who has no name in Europe.

Erdei showed way more heart in that fight than I thought he had. Through four, it looked like it was going to be a snoozer, but once Erdei got tired, it started to turn into a war.

 

and you missed a great fight :roll:

As for the topic: no, he def shouldn't stay at CW. But he must fight a real fighter in LHW now.

 

Thanks for the reply man...nothing I hadn't heard about Erdei-Cloud, but the Campillo drug-test scandal is definitely new info to me! :shock:

 

Close but clear for Erdei, I wonder how anybody could have this different.

Erdei should not stay at cruiser, he wasn't even a bit lhw and hadn't real power there. I hope he goes down again and finally get's some big money fights. He really earned it and is good enough to hang in there with the best. Universum hided him far too long just like Dzinziruk.
