Small v Takaloo.....

[archie]

Could be a good match up - both coming back from recent losses, my money would be with an Anthony win inside the distance...

"Former WBU light-middleweight champion and WBU welterweight champion Takaloo ([Only registered and activated users can see links]******.tv/drill/indexboxers.php?page=boxers&id=35) has been nominated to fight Anthony Small ([Only registered and activated users can see links]******.tv/drill/indexboxers.php?page=boxers&id=504) for the Southern Area title at 154 pounds.

The belt has become vacant after Gary Woolcombe gave it up.

Takaloo ([Only registered and activated users can see links]******.tv/drill/indexboxers.php?page=boxers&id=35) recently announced his intention to step back up to light-middle after a brief campaign at welterweight that saw him beat Eammon Magee and lose to Michael Jennings ([Only registered and activated users can see links]******.tv/drill/indexboxers.php?page=boxers&id=54) in WBU title fights.

Small crashed to his first professional defeat in his last fight, losing via stoppage to Bradley Pryce ([Only registered and activated users can see links]******.tv/drill/indexboxers.php?page=boxers&id=58).

The BBBofC have ordered that the fight take place by the end of February next year."

It is a good fight. The BBBofC are hooking us up with some good bouts. It is time for Small to learn from his loss.

i don't think ww suited takaloo. but then again i don't think he's the same fighter at sww either.

i think small should be the hungrier of the two fighters, and will be absolutely desparate to get back into contention for a shot at one of the bigger domestic fighters.

i do hope he's learnt something from his loss and show some of the form he did in the earlier rounds in that fight.

It looks good on paper for both men. Im no fan of either, I find Tak boring an he looks past it and Small is one of the biggest dickheads in the sport.

I would pick Tak even if he is just 1% of the fighter he was awhile back.

As a Liverpool fan Tak will always have a place in my heart for knocking out a fighter who came into the ring in a Man United shirt.:good

Takaloo is pretty awful, especially now he is shot.
