Willie Limond gets chance of dream bout at the Garden, & Hatton urges him to take it

I agree with Dunky's & Chesh's posts, Salita isn't all that great. If you ask your boy Tony Montana he'd say he's a great big ***** waiting to get ****ed.

Why he would ever consider turning down this chance is ludicrous.

Go on Wullie son.

 

Because if he puts on a good show or even beat Salita, you better believe you will be greater noticed than if you boxed at the Kircaldy Arena. There are scouts, promoters always at the Garden and such venues.

 

Salita is ranked #2 by the WBA and this fight would be 3rd/4th on the card meaning it may or may not get tv exposure . But if it didn't he'd still be fighting in front of more people than he normally does and some of these people just happen to have a big influence in boxing .

Beating Salita would probably get him another fight in America against another American(and possibly down at his preffered Lightweight too) ,there is lot of exposure and possible money in this for Limond .

 

Sorry could you repeat that?

 

If I was in his position I would go for it because he may never get another opportunity like this again.

 

i think he should go for it .he may have the reschedualed match against earl so he may be saving himself for that

 

from what ive heard this fight has a good chance of happening, the salita boy has just signed with roy jones jnr and they will be showing this fight as 1 of 4 fights on pay per view

 

He should take the chance I believe - what an experience.

However the main question to come out of that article for me is, how the bloody hell is Earl anywhere near a world title eliminator ????

 

i dont think this earl fight was an eliminator, their 1st scheduled fight was, but i think this one was a defence of limond ibo intercontinental belt.

 

It's Madison Square Garden, man.
I'll repeat that again...Madison Square Garden.

That's a big mark on any fighters resume, doesn't matter if you were only watched by one man and his dog...it's still MSG.

 

Definately agree providing he is getting paid more than he would for the IBO shot

 

Would be quite ironic if Willie fights at the garden and Khan gets derailed without ever reaching those heights.

He should definately take it.

 

there was a documentary about salita on bbc three of four a few months ago. Apparently he's got a huge jewish following but from what I could see in the doc, this is an very winnable fight for wullie as salita looked like he could be outboxed and has been wrapped in cotton wool so far.

 

take it forget earl, limond can fight him any other time
