Johanneson has pulled out injured...

[Doyley10]

Bollocks! Kevin will now be fighting some lad from Ghana. This might result in me having a couple of spare tickets so watch this space if anyone is still interested (Small v Takaloo still on...)

[doggyland]

That is bollocks.:? :?

[Doyley10]

That is bollocks.:? :?

I was really looking forward to this one too. Am I to assume your mates won't be quite so keen now Doggy?

[robpalmer135]

He should put him in with Ricky Burns.

[brown bomber]

He should put him in with Ricky Burns.:good good call.

[robpalmer135]

Have you got a link to the story.

Was you saying "some lad from ghana" just an assumption, probs spot on!

[doggyland]

Probably not - i had hyped up this fight a bit to get them going like...I'll speak to them later.
I'm still up for it though.

[Doyley10]

It was mooted but apparently he wasn't ready.

Good lad. There's still going to be at least 7 of us so it will still be a good night.

[doggyland]

Have you got a rundown of the card Doyley?

Is that Albanian bloke fighting ?

[robpalmer135]

If not Ricky Burns a world ranked opponent.

He is ranked #4 by the WBO and #9 by the IBF, Kobo Gobaladze is ranked by both, the guy that Arthur beat.

Would show where he is compared to AAA.

Kresnik Qato is a hennessy fighter, but ****** might have cottoned on and found one of his own. Vinny Mitchell is fighting and Derek Chisora also. Plus of course Tak aloo v Small.

It would ahve been nice, but this is a ****** card isnlt it. It's already sold out so why would he ship ot for a live one?

Oh yeah - i could have shifted them tickets with the mighty Albanian fighting.

Who is going? Shredder?

[The Lads]

Sam Sexton on the card too, apparently

This is the guy he is fighting now, what a discrace!

[Doyley10]

Good grief. I know it's only 9 day's notive, but fuck me 2-1?????

[ScouseLad]

Jesus christ, whats the fucking point in fighting that?

[doggyland]

You're right - how much are these tickets Doyles?:think

[Doyley10]

£40

Dont believe the box rec record, its not the "good book" of boxing, especially where africans and asians etc.. are concerned. I doubt very very highly Mr ****** has booked a 2-1 fighter.

I admire your optimism, but I would be far from shocked...

[nufc16]

his record most likely is incomplete, but the worrying thing is he's got a wide UD loss to george ashie on his record, a guy who mitchell beat(though not without a few problems iirc) by UD. suppose you cant ask for an opponent on the same level as carl at such short notice, but surely can do better than this guy.

[robpalmer135]

Yeh its the main event not some bloody undercard fight, I hope someone at Setanta says somethign to ****** about this!

[Jack Dempsey]

Oh fucking hell!

[stuey]

fuckiddy fuck fuck:twisted:

[SevenSamurai]

Johanneson is a puss*, he knew Mitchell was going to knock him out.

[faisal]

mitchells Had a pitful year in 07 2 fights against cabbies now this happens!! i feel sorry for the kid he needs to leave ****** and look at fighting in the US, when you'v been fed such bad quality opponents like mitchell has his skills are bound to deteriorate

[scurlaruntings]

Ah for fucks sake.I was really looking forward to this fight.

[Strike]

Great...40 quid to watch him beat up a part time shoe shop assistant.:twisted:

[Betty Swollocks]

bollocks. and yeah I'd be gutted if I had tickets.

[robpalmer135]

i feel pretty embarrased about the thread i put out yday defending him fighting not so great people so far becasue he turned pro a bit to soon due to financial reasons!

[Doyley10]

Kevin is in no way responsible for this fight not happening and he is not responsible for the replacement opponent either. What's he supposed to do? Turn down a payday he's trained weeks for?

[The Lads]

I admire your optimism, but I would be far from shocked...

I dont think the board would sanction it, he must have a better record which his african promoter has provided and had verified...

EDIT: Apparently his record is 11-1, so not as bad, but still poor.

That makes it just about credible I suppose. I've still got the hump though, I've been watching Kevin since he was a schoolboy (I used to work with his sister and she made me;-) and was really looking forward to his first big test since the amateurs.

[robpalmer135]

I really like Kevin as a fighter but hes gotta step it up!

[The Lads]

Gotta give him some lee-way on this one. not his fault Carl dropped out, isit!

don't forget tshifhiwa munyai was virtually unknown and only 11-0-1 when he was called in to fight for the commonwealth title against martin power at shortnotice....

doubt anything similiar will happen this time though

[jake]

I cant beleave johanneson pulling out the board sould have stripped of the title and put steve foster jnr up for the fight,but thats far to risky for mitchell foster would easely ko him.....

:lol::lol:

What on earth suggests he would easily KO him? Mitchell has never looked to have anything other than a solid chin (admitedly against not great opposition) and Foster is not a particularly big puncher. Johannson is a much bigger puncher than Foster so if they were prepared to let Mitchell fight him then what suggests they would be scared of Foster?
