    Now there are some meaningful British title fights coming up in the next month or so, but I'm guessing most of you have no idea who they are and don't give a shit about predicting them :lol:

    :lol:

    are you happy to start with Rickeh Burns-Ray Beltran, Chris Arreola-Seth Mitchell and Rafael Marquez-Efrain Esquivias on September 7?

    IMO, these are overlooked and sometimes (and often), Commonwealth, EBU and BBBofC title fights produce GREAT fights!!

    No Brit regional championship fights... The likelihood of any of us outside the UK having seen any of these guys at all is extremely remote and gives the LIMEYS an unfair advantage:red:

    I'll not be knocked out of the competion, EARLY DOORS, on account of some chicanery from LIMEYS

    Hmm, I had to think just a little about this.

    The list isn't a long one...
    Carl Froch
    Darren Barker
    Nathan Cleverly
    Amir Khan
    Rickeh Burns
    Martin Murray
    Marco Huck

    You can name British and European fighters who have gone on to challenge for World titles (including some mentioned), but have been overmatched in that particular World title fight.

    ^ those mentioned above being from a certain point in history.

    Pretty much got this covered, tbh. As always, one week we may have just one World title fight/or a solid matchup to predict, but the next week we may have more. We may then have a couple of weeks/a few weeks of no action and then 2-3 weeks of predicting.

    You get my drift, yo.

    So are we happy to start with Ricky Burns-Raymundo Beltran & Chris Arreola-Seth Mitchell??
     
  19. BOSS

    BOSS TBD

    Never heard of Burns or Beltran so we shall skip that one. Arreola Mitchell we can keep.
     
  20. Jimmy

    Jimmy The Greatest of Are Times

    How have you never heard of those guys? It's a bill topper and a fight for the WBO lightweight title so it deserves inclusion, IMO.

    Rafael Marquez in action that weekend also.
