You can't keep expecting people to pay there hard earned cash for nobodies with built up records.
- Eric Molina, USA (23-2) early June in Hamilton
- Razvan Cojanu, ROM (13-1) late July in Invercargill (depending on Boxcino results)
- Matias Ariel Vidondo, ARG (20-1) October in Samoa (or Kyotaro Fujimoto, JAP (11-1) if he took the fight)
- Kali Meehan, AUS (42-5) December in Auckland
This is probably all rubbish, but I'm bored at work...
As much as it's not fair on us dishing up shit and charging $40, I don't think the majority of people really care who he's fighting and will pay it just because it's JP. Also, he's only 23 so whilst the publicity surrounding his career suggests he should be fighting top contenders, realistically there's no immediate rush.
Cojanu is not really a step up, but sideways, because of his height and because he's ranked thanks to a joke fight for the WBO Asian belt (he's Romanian?). Meehan I've put there as a pure money maker because of the local interest it would generate.
Not that they care, but it could be a way to defend his NZ Title, which, if he was Sonny Bill would've already been stripped. I know Kali is listed as Australian but Clarence Tillman was and is American so...
