Steven Ray Dropping To Lightweight

[illegalhunter]

I would love to see Shaun Taylor make L/W , McCrumb would need to sedate him in he sauna .lol

[staffie]

I can do that, no probs.

Stevie & Shaun both fought at 77 semi pro same day weigh in, so no reason why they couldn't make LW, Delaney does in ok, won't be fun but not unrealistic.

Stevie could possibly get a title shot at his first time at LW, he's beat a lot of guys and had title fights at the division above. Not as if he starts again just because he moved down a division.

Stevie Ray and Shaun Taylor moving to lightweight!? I would like to announce my move to bantamweight with immediate effect. Mental

[D.H.B.]

If shaun makes 70kg he'll die........

He walks about at 90-100kgs........

You cant just lose massive legs.

However, you never know......... 70kgs is a well stacked category = loads of awesome fights.

[emohpee]

I will swap Shaun my long skinny legs in exchange for those bad boys and he will make weight no probs! And I will wear tudo's for the rest of my days...everywhere

[TheReem]

ray will be a monster at lw interesting to see if you can make lw steve

[CBRaw]

Porky Taylor will never make lw it would be fun to watch him try thou

[jgowansedgemma]

Is the fight with Stu Barrs still being honoured?

Yeah still happening mate!

[H1SSY]

Stevie and Ryan Scope would be a good fight, im sure Ryan could make Lightweight

Hmmm, this could go either 2 ways (1) Ray will be a beast at 70 or (2) His game will be deminished.

I really don't see the point in cutting huge amounts of weight just because you come up against someone really good and lose. Especially when you have previously said you would struggle to make said weight. How many times have we seen guys do it and their game really suffers...

Some good match ups at 70kg both domestic and euro anyway - McCauley, Wright, Entwhistle, Parke, Duffy, Thomas, Heagney, Wheeler, Radcliffe (Domestic), Piotr Hallmann, Oriol Gaset, Claes Beverlov, Mansour Barnaoui, Grzegorz Tredowski (Euro).

The decision wasn't made just because he lost, it was something that was discussed beforehand. We will see how Stevie feels/performs when dropping as to whether he should stay at that weight for the long term. I don't think much of his game will be diminished by dropping.

There are some good suggestions on that list, a few that have already been targeted as future opponents.

Thanks
