Tony Bellew vs. Edison Miranda

Oh man, I would LOVE to see Bomber vs. Smigga!! :happy :thedevil1

 

Aye, obsessed. Sort of like Marquez with Pacquiao, "you'll never beat me square! " - except obviously less true in McKenzie's case than JMM's. :yep

 

Then let Stephen run up on him in the aftermath chirping in his face only to get laid out in the midst of the crowded ring (after the gloves have been cut off, full knuckle to face contact ) and get trampled by media and corner folk.

Make it a family affair!

Liam, you seem alright, so how about you're away on holiday during all this.

 

Agreed once again, Nate was built a swarmer. :nod

 

Is this the main event, or is Barker vs. Eurobum? :think

I kind of hope this is the co-feature even though it obviously deserves headlining status, simply because the timing would then work out that it doesn't conflict with concurrent affairs in Moscow.

edit: actually, maybe it would be best if it did headline. It all depends on when Klitschko vs. Charr actually takes place. I've seen some places report 5pm EST/10pm UK - but that's ****ing 1am in Moscow, can't be right... :huh

Ultimately, whether it happens before or after I'm hoping it doesn't butt up against the HW bout. If it comes down to having to choose one over the other for live viewing priority, I may well go with the light heavyweights here. More competitive, more action. :thumbsup

 

Do you know anything about this Italian opponent of Barker's? Simone Rotolo?

Is he a worthy main event dance partner, or is this essentially a showcase mismatch?

I see he held Sylvester to a SD back before Sylvester began to really suck, but he also got dropped..

 

I did some digging back through old posts, those who've seen him tend to have a fairly low opinion of him even at Euro level. (although he did push Sylvester, despite getting drilled hard and legitimately put on his ass...probably one of those very frequent "off-nights" or lackluster performances that SS had, often fought down to the level of his opposition...)

I expect Darren to dazzle. :good Anything less will be disappointing.
