Esham pickering Vs Matthew Marsh??

[yvonne]

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!

You think they rushed Hunter a little putting him in there with Molitor?
It seemed he was just operating at Euro level then wham...Title shot.
Particularily when there was a huge payday available for him V dunne.

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.
