This should be a really good fight!I remember Esham fighting my local hero Hunter for the European title a couple of years back(2005).Pickering had Hunter down TWICE!Once in round 2 and again in round 3.But as soon as Esham recieved a cut near the eye he was on the back foot and that then Hunter fought back in great deternination and won after 12rounds.Great fight that was.Esham is always game.Im looking forward to this one.Should be a little slug fest!;D
You think they rushed Hunter a little putting him in there with Molitor?Quote:

Im not too sure if he was rushed!Hunter was the kind of fighter that would fight anyone at any time in due course.I think he maybe took the IBF title fight to Molitor at a good time really.I mean Hunter Cleared up the Brishish title up,then retained the EU belt a few times after taking off Esham so when he got the chance to fight for the IBF he made the right choice i think.He had the advantage of the IBF challenge due to him fighting on home ground at the Awesome BOURGH HALL in Hartlepool(his key venue for MATCHROOM fights).There was talks that Hunter never felt very well before the fight with Molitor on the 10th Nov 2006.Weather it was the weight issue that he had trouble with afterward through his Career i dont know!!But i remember seeing Hunter on the walk in of the fight and he looked ready for it.The atmosphere in the Hall was Awesome!I was about 10 metres from ring-side.I knew Molitor was a classy fight and i asure you he was from the first bell.Hunter went down twice.The second time he went down was his last for the fight.Mind you it was aquality shot from Molitor.Quote:

I can tell you for a fact that Hunter had Sick problems making weight.
But he and his camp felt a move upward wouldn't work for him, thats why he called it quits.
I just felt that during the Molitor fight he was completely outclassed and that if he had taken one or two fights with top ten guys he could have performd better.
However I can also understand that his camp said he couldn't make the weight anymore, so they'd just take their money fight and retire.
Weight problem was a factor i think too!When he eventually moved up to lightweight he seemed to tire out really quick even know some of his fights in the new division were only six round.You could tell just by watching!He had plenty of heart and desire and he is a really humble kind of guy!I wish him luck on the retirement.He brought us some top quality fights in town(Hartlepool).Quote:

This next fight will show Matt's new strength I think.

Yvonne/ Chantelle - apologies.
Esham will despatch Marsh in good fashion.
Marsh seems a nice guy so i choose my words carefully.
Having grown up with Esham i know him inside out, for the last few years he's had serious probs outside the ring. These have now gone and even though it may still be too late to catch the Euro title back, a fighter like Marsh should present no problem for him.
Did you see the weigh in? go to sky they have the clip. Marsh looks petrified of Esham, Esham also looks in near perfect shape.
My final view is it will be a difficult night for Marsh.
D.
We'll soon find out,eh?If Pickering sustains a cut he'll go into a shell and on the back foot,as he did when me local mate Hunter caught him in that thrilling european title fight back in the day when both fighters were in their prime.Should be a good fight!!!Quote:
