Thread: Jones v Cunningham fight called off

Jones a no-show, fight off!
By Ludo Saenz
"The Incredible Expanding Man" Guillermo Jones was not on his scheduled flight into St. Louis on Tuesday and word from Panama is that Jones is hospitalized with high blood pressure and potassium problems. As a result, the IBF world cruiserweight title fight between Jones and Steve Cunningham is off. No replacement fight has been announced, however the scheduled undercard WBA middleweight eliminator between Randy Griffin and Maselino Masoe is being considered. The main event between IBF junior middleweight champion Roman Karmazin and Cory Spinks remains intact.

Just saw this on one of the other sites, and it is very disappointing certainly. If it does come out later that he has been hospitalised as mentioned here, then let's wish him a speedy recovery and hope that he is better soon.

Any idea what potassium problems might be and what would cause it?

I was looking forward to this moreso then Spinks - Karmazin

Well btalk says that Wayne Braithwaite may get the fight with Cunningham

Jean Marc Mormeck is fighting on the same bill against Damon Reed he should win!
