Thread: Femi Fehintola added to Hatton v Castillo undercard?

Hi guys,

Was just having a gander through the news section, and this was hidden in one corner:

"As we were going to print, we heard that Femi Fehintola could box on the Ricky Hatton LasVegas bill tomorrow (23 June)"

I quite like Fehintola after seeing him against Johanneson, even though he showed he was a bit feather-fisted. He showed decent guts to make it as far as the sixth with Johanneson, who is a really devastating puncher. Normally I'd post this on the UK Boxing board, but as we're close to fight night I thought I'd ask our American brethren whether anyone hasheard anything about this?

Full credit and admiration for Femi, good little boxer, and the troubles he has coem through to be a pro boxer is amazing, correct me if im wrong but wasnt both his parents Heroine Junkies? How he has avoided this road is amazing and i hope he puts on a great performance.

Yup...Femi Fehintola will be making his US debut this evening against journeyman Mexican Barbaro Zepeda. I think that going over to fight in the states, and especially the sparring they will have managed is good for them, and Femi is not going to have it easy there tonight, cause we all know what Mexican fighters are like.

He's fighting in a 6-rounder against a guy with 14 defeats, but has only been stopped once, so for a good points boxer like Femi he should come through unless he gets drawn in too much.

Yeah, big up for Femi for coming out of his troubled childhood, and a lot of the people around him have drug problems and plenty of others, so I hope he does well.
