Yeah seems that he has a deginerative condition, and depression on top of that.
I feel for the man.
Its crazy how the mind can play a huge role in recovery.

reid is reclusive because of a droppy eye.
Paul Williams can't fukking walk anymore and missed his brother's wedding on the day of the crash that took his career.
The man still cheesing everytime you see him and hyper positive.

well i can understand cuellar and charlo..they are moving up but the other 2..no reason to not have anything on the schedule by now

 

[HeruDat1]

Well we know why JRock hasn't been back he went completely ghost trying to find his way out the bushes. Mall probably has something lined up I don't think it's a big deal yet, moving to a new weight class. Mares was waiting on LSC-Frampton and I think that fight is happening.

Hearn sees Joshua v Klitschko II happening, reveals potential dates and venues

The pair shared an entertaining eleven rounds at Wembley Stadium in April which saw eventual loser Klitschko having the option of securing a second bite of the cherry in the aftermath.

‘Dr. Steelhammer’ is expected to do just that, according to Hearn, who is now scouting an indoor stadium or arena venue for what is expected to be another top division Pay-Per-View blockbuster between the two big punchers.

“I believe Klitschko will go ahead with the rematch so we are looking at dates,” said Hearn as quoted by The Mirror, before outlining Cardiff in Wales could be a strong consideration.

“The Principality Stadium (formerly Millenium Stadium in Cardiff) is not really available in November because of rugby so 28 October is the option. Most of December is available but I don't really want to go that late.

“Josh has a bit of a sore shoulder, Klitschko has had a tough fight, his face was bashed up. You have got two more weeks in May, all of June and after that they will be thinking 'right let's get back in camp'.

“Even if you started back in camp in August, then you have September and October so end of October can work.”

Wales is not the only place in Hearn’s thoughts though as the USA, Asia or even the Far East could all be viable options as Joshua bids to extend his promotional brand further around the globe.

“For Cardiff that date (October) is an option and also December but I don't really want to go into December so we are looking at the MGM in Las Vegas, China and Dubai as options too,” said the Matchroom boss.

Now, when I bring this up at the end of the year and ask RB & Bo Mac about this, it's going to be "what fight?"

2.toney Harrison vs Julian "jrock" Williams rumored to be made this year.

Good fight between 2 Amir Khan clones

3. Jamel herring is rumored to be back vs Pedraza or fortuna.

Good fight either way...I'd lean to Pedraza beating Herring & Herring beating Fortuna

im not overtly excited about a rematch..id rather see wlad get his win up at least but i understand its a money thing and they just fought a leading FOTY..but i dont want this to happen at the cost of the IBF title getting stripped from Femi...because it will be Pulev vs Carlos Takam for the belt
