I really hope Thaxton does well. Ive never known a fighter more determined. He could have retired after Colin Dunn stopped him or Emmanuel Augustus but he came back , then he had a damging defeat to Hatton and could have walked away but he tried again. he was unlucky vs Rowland but he tried again . i thought wed seen teh last of him vs magee but he came right again . he recently lost a ebu title challenge but here he is again . if nothing else he is persistant . i wish him wel but i duno how good this Melero guy is so i cant call this fight . I hear Herbie Hides fighting too . He needs to move up and fight Audey IMO. that would be the only fight to create interest for the both of them.
It was going to be a good Saturday night with Arthur Abraham fight on Nuts TV.
Herbie Hide is fighting on John Thaxton under-card tonight too.It should be a awesome night for fight fans tonight.I cant wait!!!HAPPY DAYS;D
Yeah me too and i was at Thaxtons last fight at the York hall with the missus,she loved it as it was her first fight and what a crowd Jonno brought down to London...Packed and noisy:cool:
Looking forward too seeing what Hide still has too,should be interesting;)
C'mon Jonno!!
Macintosh v Spartacus is livening up nicely!
