All the clues seem to lead to Periban. Surely he's not going to risk his World title fight by fighting Bika in the lead up!

Don't be silly! Smith's made it to the top now after his demolition robbery of AA, it should be Ward or Froch for him. Joe Gallagher would spit on your shoes for even putting Paul's name in the mix for JD.

Smith has made it to the top? He got destroyed by both degale and groves! I can't understand how cause he gave Abraham a foght( who's passed it) froch would destroy smith and money in it! Fact ! If he rematches degale or groves he will be stopped again, fast car
Knows that, he got a world title shot cause the saurlands need sky, no other reason, he didn't deserve that shot, like smiths as fighters but he came
Up short , degale beats all super middle bar andre ward, boy is similar to ward in fact is if he stuck to a game plan he would
School most boxers, although think a change in trainer may need to come for

I was taking the piss, Paul seems a nice guy but i'm with you he never deserved the shot in the first place, the last interview I saw with Joe Gallagher he said he keeps going on at Eddie to break the bank and get AA to fight in Liverpool, if every world champion gave a rematch to a voluntary who put in a brave effort they wouldn't have time to fight there mandatories.

My bad haha, Gallagher talks nonsense, like calling out groves for Callum, it's sheer stupidity for me and a worthless fight, why don't they put him in with some top 10 contenders instead of punch bags, it's annoying ! Good fighter yes but not proven

The Bika fight would be an excellent fight for the card but I think it will be Periban.

Good win last time out against J'Leon Love.

Despite that he's really a middleweight cynically thrown in against the Mayweather boy as target practice, I would like to see this, purely off of the back of the Love KO.

& the fact that his nickname is Porky.

Porky vs Chunky.

Who the fvck wouldn't buy a ticket to that?

I'll say it again: "Porky vs Chunky."

Fvcking sells itself.

I voted Bika, maybe more out of wishful thinking than being realistic.

Medina is a good shout.

No way will it be Stieglitz, i'd imagine he's making an absolute mint in his fight with Sturm even though there's nothing on the line.

I don't much care. He's fighting on an undercard of a pay-per-view that nobody is going to buy. :lol:
