Chi-Brodie rematch: who can call it?

Can anyone confidently call this? I certainly can't. My tentative tip is Chi, simply because I feel Brodie can't fight as well again as he did the first time.
But the Naz factor makes this more interesting. There's gold in them there hills for Brodie if he wins.

If this one follows the tradition of rematches of wars - which don't live up to the first one - then I'll guess this goes the distance, with Chi picking up a closeish UD. If it is as lively as before, then maybe Brodie being stopped on his feet between 7-9. Though I hope Brodie can pull it off as I have been wanting him to win a world title since that moment he looked gutted as Jorrin started bouncing up and down all over the ring. Saying that, Chi got robbed versus Brodie last time so... arrgghh I don't know

Both gave everything last time out and Chi, IMO, nicked it. Assuming neither has any more to give, then I see same again, Chi by UD, but close. Bookies have Chi favourite, albeit narrowly. Draw at 20-1. An interesting spread would be % of people in the first ten rows who have to dry clean the blood out of their clothes.

I thought Chi was a clear winner last time out, by at least 2 rounds.

I think Chi wins this one clearly.

The first one looked 50/50, and the rematch one looks up for grabs to - at least the bookmakers seem to think so.

Brodie certainly has a chance to win this.
As long as he paces himself and doesn't mark up too much ( which does seems an impossibility these days ) he can use his better skills to outpoint the Korean - no point trying to knock him out: the man's a nutter and doesn't know when he's hurt.
You could probably hit him with a baseball bat and he'd still keep coming.

Brodie has to keep the jab in Chi's face, thump home body shots when he can (so Chi thinks twice about those all-out-attacks) and grab hold of him when he gets close.
Sounds great in theory, but it's not really Mike's style. He just loves to go for the KO, and that's why I think he's going to get stopped late this time round.

I think you saw the best Brodie had to offer last time, and I don't see either him dramatically improving, or Chi's performance taking a nose dive.

I watched the last fight again on video 2 days ago, and still give the fight to Chi by 3 rounds.

I'm not convinced the last fight was as close as people make out...

Chi to win, by split decision.

I had Chi as the winner in the last fight and I really believe he will win this one as well on points or maybe by a very late stoppage.

I shall be cheering for Brodie though.
