Why doesn't Warren just put Langford in with BJS on Oct 22?

    It is. I'm tired of these guys ****ing around and then using the fact that they've been ****ing around to justify making **** fights.

    He won't throw Langford in with BJS just yet.

    BJS will be getting a glorified spar on the 22nd against a lowly ranked fighter.

    Also reading through other comments if Langford was offered the fight and took it the WBO would have no issue with it being sanctioned due to Tommy Langford's ranking.

    Langford is fighting Sam Sheedy now. Decent enough fight- at least Sheedy will come to win.

    paul smith got to #1 in the WBO by fighting 6 rounders against bums, that was much much worse

    may be a case of he doesn't want to lose his 0 right now? Think it's safe to say he's much better than someone like jimmy Kelly who normally wouldn't win a British title never mind get the world title shot so I can see why he may want to swerve this right now
