I think he’ll go for Paulie, the trash talk would sell in all probability but it’d be one hell of a shitty fight. Would either of them land a shot?

Just finished a British boxing preview piece, that’s a monkey off my back. Made me start pondering a British P4P top 20 though…………..I’ll get on that tomorrow. I’m now wondering if I have the top ten in my sidebar correct (should Cleverly be above Munroe?). 10 through to 20 is really tricky to put in order.

I checked by 606 today for the first time in donkeys (the server went down at work), man what happened to that forum? Jeff reckons LRR might be over at Boxing Banter (think it’s a new one), I’m tempted to head over and see if he’s still as entertaining as he used to be!!

I thought I read somwhere that Rhodes was trying to break free from Warren’s clutches, but don’t take that as gospel.

From what I understand about Gavin Rees’ title shot, its only on the condition that Juan Urango pulls out of the fight with Alexander. Why they’re expecting Urango to pull out I have no idea.

If you get the chance, check out Watson’s battle with O’Donnell. It was a belter. Here’s a report I did on it http://www.411mania.com/sports/boxing/101762/O%5C%5CDonnell-Wins-Commonwealth-Title-in-Thriller.htm

I’ve heard of Watson Dave but rather than do a David Brent and go google him to pretend I’m up to speed, I’ll hold my hands up and confess he’s not someone I’ve seen much of. I’ll check him out though.

Maloney’s given me headaches all day long. I’m knocking up a preview piece for The Queensberry Rules and I’ve been trying to figure out who’s in his stable. You don’t know of a site which lists such things do you Dave? I’m baffled as to who Ryan Rhodes is with (he’s listed as a Warren fighter yet is still on the Hayemaker site). I’ve figured out that George Groves has a promotional contract with Maloney yet is managed by Hayemaker but Rhodes has driven me nuts!!

Going off topic for a second, what on earth has happened to Craig Watson? Its only been a couple of years since he completely schooled Matthew Hatton and only last year looked unlucky not to get the decision against the highly touted John O’ Donnell.

He seems to have become British boxing’s forgotten man and he must feel sick seeing one of his former victims getting spots on Vegas shows, shots at “world” titles and possibly a monster payday against Mayweather. Its all about who’s backing you in this business and its no surprise that, up until last year, Watson was being backed by the king of mismanagement Frank Maloney.
