What next for Brian Magee??

Winner of DeGale/Groves or Winner of Prizefighter

 

winner of prizefighter first, then fight winner of degale and groves...

 

Decent test for any fighter with world ambitions.

I would like to see him in a domestic scrap or two before he thinks about hanging them up.

 

magee wouldve been a good step up for groves, i reckon he's gonna lose on points to degale.

 

In terms of his own career, I'd like to think after a little warm up bout he would target getting his old european title back. Like the munroe situation, he could be given another world shot as he acquitted himself well and regaining the european would do that for him. Personally, though i'd like to see him in with degale should he get past groves (which im not sure he will) because it would be great test for degale and a good gauge of how quicky he should be pushed

 

Plenty of options - hes showed Americans hes durable and game and would be considered a good level 'opponent' so could get on HBO / Showtime

Chase Sartison and Steiglitz?


Obviously the Groves DeGale winner


I wonder if he was well paid for the Bute fight - id say a lot depends on that

 

People talking about the Prizefighter winner?

Magee would probably walk through those guys

 

I know but only talking about them to keep ticking over in the event of a degale or groves fight later in the year...

 

I thought his display against Bute was very impressive at times. He done himself no harm at all. I don't think he will become a gatekeeper just yet...i hope he keeps up his ambition.

 

He said after the Bute fight he was offered a shot at the WBA title, and may see if that's still possible. Does he mean with Andre Ward or is he now one of "Super Champions" or something equally ridiculous?

 

I think it was Sartison. And from the post fight conference I remember that they mentioned he was ranked #1 WBA and after the loss doesn't know where it's at but will try to get back or something like that.

 

If, (A big IF) he gets another world title shot surely he will be financially comfortable and can hang em up and enjoy himself. That's what I hope for anyway he is a nic guy and deserves to get out of the sport with some loot in his pocket.

 

Well I think he has a fair few options he could be an opponent in america he is after all irish and dirrell or someone of that calibre might be sniffing about.

If not there is either going for his euro title again trying to regain it defend a few times and go for Sartison or (though this might coincide with the Euro title) chase a big money domestic fight with the winner of Degale Groves. Even if he were to receive another loss i still think he has some mileage yet...
