just been on www.bbc.co.uk/sport, and read that clinton woods next fight will be in september, it says more on this soon and therefore i cannot read it all and cant get a source, appologies if this has been posted, i thought woods would retire?
Well it will be good for him to have one last fight, in front of his home crowd. He is at least 3 fights away from another world title shot. I think eh should go for the british title, he only needs 1 more defence to keep the belt, would be a good way to go out. tbh tho watching woods puts me to sleep.
Would love to see him have one more fight in Sheffield against a decent opponent. Any chance at a crack at the Euro belt?
Considering it'S now vacant I'd say a good one . Clinton is ranked #1 by the EBU but Stipe Drews was the mandatory to Barashan so that could be mandated for the vacant title . Woods is #4 by the IBF , with the #1 and #2 spots vacant so he could get an eliminator there if he wanted . Or he could take on the winner of Tony Oakey and Dean Francis for the British and Commonwealth titles .
He looked worryingly shot against Tarver. Completely gunshy, as if he didn't fancy getting hit anymore. I saw some real bad signs in there Win the lonsdale belt outright and call it a day
He looked awful last time out but then again he looked awful all the time he was in America including the build up. I think he can give another decent performance at a lower level and like I said I would love to go see him fight once more in Sheffield. A Euro opportunity would be great but I would favour an easy comeback fight and then a crack at that or below that the winner of Oakey and Francis. He may be shot but I think he should have one chance to prove otherwise.
