I agree with Len's comment in the other thread, Brown vs. Sahin looks like the best matchup of the three. Sahin (32), from Turkey, is making her first pro world title shot after a strong amateur career. Brown (35) a converted kickboxer from the U.K., has been in pro world title fights before, against Alina Shaternikova, Regina Halmich, Bettina Csabi and Stefania Bianchini, but she has always been on the short end of it on the scorecards, including the one fight (vs. Shaternikova) that was on her home turf. She threw a big scare into Halmich and this may be her best chance yet at a title. Sahin is fighting in her adopted country of Germany, so she will have the "home edge" ...

Belinskzy vs. Ramnarine was nixed because the Trinidad team never made it out of London while on their way from Trinidad to Hungary (Ramnarine was apprently trying to pick up a travel visa for Hungary in London).
