Gethin vs Mathews RBR

[handsofstone]

First up's a 6 rounder between unbeaten Tommy Langford and Alistair Warren

[jameswilson]

Hopefully the events don't overlap too badly with the channel 5 show. I'm looking forward to Hughie Fury v Danny Hughes as well as seeing how Galahad does. And Eubank Jr and the Mathews v Gethin fights on this bill.

[handsofstone]

Fight stopped in the 5th due to a cut on the left eye of Warren,Langford gets the win by 50-46 in a TD

Not a great fight,Langford fought majority on backfoot and won with pretty quick,sharp counter punching,dont know if he has strength or power to make a dent a title level

Joe Costello vs Youssef Al Hamidi in a 4 rounder next

Costello's debut,tough fight for your first fight,i'm sure Al Hamidi will give him a warm welcome

Nearly did for the minute it lasted

[handsofstone]

WOW Al Hamidi stopped in 1,right hand from Costello seemed to catch him back of the head,he managed to get to his feet but he was gone,good call from ref

[handsofstone]

just the watched the replay in slow-mo ,the right hand caught Youssef top of the head

[handsofstone]

Terry Flanagan's fighting next against Yordan Vasilev

[handsofstone]

Vasilev down in the 1st,sharp 1/2 from Flanagan

[rossij8]

Bit of a mismatch that one I'm afraid

[handsofstone]

Over 15 secs of the 2nd,Terry throwing combinations while the ref stepped in,nothing of note really landed but Vasilev out of his depth and hadn't recovered from previous round,Terry looked 3 divsions bigger

[handsofstone]

Flanagan beats both Gethin and Mathews IMO,hopefully he gets shot at tonight's winner

He's mandatory for the winner, stepped aside to allow Gethin to fight Derry, so barring injury, that one will probably be on the Fury-Chisora undercard.

Jack Catterall's fighting Krzysztof Szot now

Off what i have seen of Terry I dont rate him as highly as everyone else seems to. I think he might beat either of those just because he is fresher but I just dont get the hype surrounding him.

[Old bones Ian]

I want to see Flanagan really be pushed on this year, we are almost half way through the year and he's had 2 marking time fights, should of been matched a bit tougher then that.

Whats he learned tonight? nothing. I think he can go on to bigger things than the British title, and hopefully he will get the winner of Gethen/Mathews.

Catterall also looking at least a division bigger than Szot here.

Terrific by Costello, nobody blows away Hamidi

The post fight interview mentioned he'd been paid step aside money for the Gethin v Matthews bout and he had to face the winner in July so there seems to be a plan there.

[pyenest77]

Obviously there was a plan but wouldnt it have made sense to fight for the title tonight then defend it against the winner at the Phones 4 U in July just as much?

[handsofstone]

Heading for a Catterall whitewash surely,first time ive seen him,he looks decent

They may think this will be a bit of a grueling fight that will take a bit out of both men?
