Francisco Palacios to replace Banks!

[Tuffnutz]

EDIT Actually it's Francisco Alvarez and not Palacios. :sad

[Boxing Gloves]

yea, i heard it aswell

[pokerbox]

Not too bad an opponent, ranked no4 by the WBA & no7 by the WBC

[Claypole]

Not too bad an opponent, ranked no4 by the WBA & no7 by the WBCAnd no doubt he will be No1 or 2 ranked by the WBO come Saturday........

[ishy]

May be ranked hight but has a padded record. Typical ****** import.

[widdy]

who

[BIG WORM]

he aint a bum!!!

[icemax]

:good No doubt

[saturday_kid]

Yeah to be fair at such a late stage too its a good opponent

[TehRileh]

Ahhhh it coulda been worse i guess, i hope the WBO make him face Alexeev after.

[zulander]

Watch how many times the commentators remark "that he has never lost and an unbeaten fighter is always dangerous" come fight night

[DamonD]

Never heard of the guy...the only opponent on his record I've ever heard of is Zack Page, too.

Last-minute subs are difficult to arrange, okay. But Herbie's right there, asking for this fight, and it'll make Enzo look weaker for avoiding him in favour of an unbeaten but very unknown fighter.

Sorry, if I'm wrong I'm wrong, but this looks pretty weak sauce to me. Which means the ITV and ****** hype machines will be up to 11 to make Palacios seem like a killer, making for an obnoxious broadcast...

I much can we really complain at a weeks notice?

This is PPV remember. Not sure how you could have imagined a card as good as this could be on free tv.

[Cobbler]

But Herbie's right there, asking for this fight

Is he though? I've seen lots of other people asking for it, don't recall off the top of my head seeing any quotes from Herbie himself over the past few days, though it's quite possible I missed/forgot them...

And dont forget Herbie only fought last week. I know he has been asking for this fight ages ago but I havent seen anything come from him this week. Also is he not now a Hennessy fighter, him and ****** aren't the best of mates either are they.

[BigEars]

Never heard of the guy...the only opponent on his record I've ever heard of is Zack Page, too.

Loius Azille ?, Luis Andreas Pineda ?, both have been involved in World title shots and eliminators and Palacious did stop both of them. That's not to say he's anything great other than he'll probably be better than some of Enzo's previous opponents in title fights. Which isn't bad on 3 days notice.

[kosaros]

Francisco Alvarez is fighting Enzo :patsch

What was wrong with Herbie Hide? And who is this bloke?

[scurlaruntings]

Francisco Alvarez is fighting Enzo :patsch

[Only registered and activated users can see links] Alvarez a light heavy?

[brown bomber]

Isnt Alvarez a light heavy?I would rather watch Scurla pull a lat spread while having a dump then this fiasco.

[phonk]

Isnt Alvarez a light heavy?

Indeed he is.

Record of 11 - 1 at light heav.

and the WBO are sanctioning the fight!!!

Nice one Frank.

[Jimbo]

You sure you'd like to watch Scurla first rather than save it till after the ppv?

[scurlaruntings]

That can be arranged!! Rear lights out double lat spread coming up!!! You want sauce with it! :D

[scurlaruntings]

Nice one Frank.BWA HA HA! I guess it is a late replacement but fuck me you mean to say there wasnt a "real" cruiser in site to replace Banks?! Franks taking no risks anymore! :lol::lol:

[scurlaruntings]

You sure you'd like to watch Scurla first rather than save it till after the ppv?Oi Miss Vorderman ignore the typo! :twisted:

[yogster740]

My buddy spoke with Palacios today...he had no clue about the Enzo fight..not sure how that leaked out. He though the Hide fight was pretty sealed.

[Cobbler]

What was wrong with Herbie Hide? And who is this bloke?

Herbie Hide didn't want the fight at that notice.

[unitas]

WHAT A BUM!!!!!!!

still, who cares. sooner or later faggarinelli will get raped by alexeev. cant wait to see that.

[Boxing Fanatic]

They tried to get BJ Flores. But, he said he needed more time to train on such a short notice.

[Tuffnutz]

I know a guy on another forum who's an insider and has worked with some big names. I guess he got his Francisco's mixed up this time though. :lol:

PS Alvarez is beyond a joke as a replacement.

[Boxing Fanatic]

I believe this alvarez kid was KO by alexeev earlier in his career.
