Burns V Figueroa no
McDonnell V Kameda no
Degale V Dirrell yes
Mitchell V Linares no
Selby V Gradovich maybe
Smith V Ward no
Haskins V Iwasa no
Cleverly V Braehmer (Think this is a done deal) maybe

[cocobongo]

Degale
Selby
Cleverly
Groves
Fury
Quigg

I like these 6 in the fights listed

[Stuarty]

Burns v Figueroa: No
McDonnell v Kameda: No
DeGale v Dirrell: 50/50
Mitchell v Linares: Yes (KO)
Selby v Gradovich: Yes (UD)
Smith v Ward: No chance
Haskins v Iwasa: Not sure as I don't know the Japanese boy
Cleverly v Braehmer: Going by Clevs last performance, No
Groves v Jack: Yes (KO)
Fury v Wlad: No
Quigg v Martinez: Yes (possible KO)

Some good nights to look forward to. Quigg v Martinez could turn out to be a cracker if made. I think of all of the fights listed above I am most intruiged by DeGale v Dirrell. Will probably be a real chess match.

[powderPuff]

I know he gets a lot of stick on hear for crap cards and PPV etc but most of that list is Hearn fighters,

Cant say he isnt trying to match his figthers tough

[GooalaShooola]

Burns V Figueroa - Unfortunately, no
McDonnell V Kameda - No
Degale V Dirrell - Yes
Mitchell V Linares - Yes
Selby V Gradovich - YES
Smith V Ward - You're joking, right?
Haskins V Iwasa - Nope
Cleverly V Braehmer (Think this is a done deal) - Depends on what Clev turns up, but I'll say yes
Groves V Jack (If made) - Definitely
Fury V Wlad (If made) - I actually think this could be interesting... yes (reluctantly)
Quigg V Martinez (If made) ((Big if)) - Why not?

Yes beats No by 7-5. Gan on the Brits!

[Yes We Can]

Burns V Figueroa - No - Ricky is a lamb to the slaughter here.
McDonnell V Kameda - No . Mcdonnell is not top class.
Degale V Dirrell - Possible, but he enters as slight underdog.
Mitchell V Linares - no. Linares is a good fighter and Mitchell folds when the pressure is on.
Selby V Gradovich - Yes. Selby slight favourite for me.
Smith V Ward - No . I would give his brother as much chance.
Haskins V Iwasa - No .Iwasa is very good.
Cleverly V Braehmer - No. Jumping up 25lbs of muscle and then draining it all back off is a terrible move.
Groves V Jack - Yes. Favourite, and should get his title.
Fury V Wlad - possible, but enters as a sizeable underdog.
Quigg V Martinez - Yes. Slight favourite, but should be able to get the job done.

3 fighters favourite, 2 guys that could possibly win, and i consider the rest to be non starters.

Burns V Figueroa NO
McDonnell V Kameda NO
Degale V Dirrell YES
Mitchell V Linares YES
Selby V Gradovich YES

Haskins V Iwasa NO
Cleverly V Braehmer (Think this is a done deal) YES
Groves V Jack (If made) YES
Fury V Wlad (If made) NO
Quigg V Martinez (If made) ((Big if)) YES

[Lenny Cravats]

I must be a right peasimist. I'd favour Groves, and Quigg and give Selby a decent chance. I'd not be happy betting on anyone else.

[handsofstone]

All tough tests but more importantly that's a cracking schedule

[danamba7]

All tough tests but more importantly that's a cracking schedule

Exactly, will be good to see a lot of our lads tested throughout the summer.

[Boxerbeetle]

Burns V Figueroa - no chance
McDonnell V Kameda - highly unlikely
Degale V Dirrell - 5O/50
Mitchell V Linares - unlikely
Selby V Gradovich - YES
Smith V Ward -
Haskins V Iwasa - hopefully, can't say I know much about Iwasa
Cleverly V Braehmer (Think this is a done deal) - a few years ago YES, these days NO
Groves V Jack (If made) - YES
Fury V Wlad (If made) - no chance
Quigg V Martinez (If made) ((Big if)) - YES

[joshlloyd]

Mitchell V Linares - Maybe
Selby V Gradovich - Yes
Smith V Ward - No
Haskins V Iwasa - No
Cleverly V Braehmer - No
Groves V Jack - Yes

[edgey2009]

If Fury beats Wlad or even comes close ill never bet or predict another fight again!

[danamba7]

50/50 so far.

[keirw]

Burns V Figueroa- lost (but left the ring with his head held high)
McDonnell V Kameda- won
Degale V Dirrell- I'd call Dirrell the favourite here.
Mitchell V Linares- both punchers with suspect chins, first man to land big shot to win by KO.
Selby V Gradovich- Selby UD
Smith V Ward
Haskins V Iwasa- can't see Haskins winning this.
Cleverly V Braehmer- Braehmer can be outworked, but it depends how much the last year has effected Cleverly.
Groves V Jack - Groves KO
Fury V Wlad- Wlad KO, be entertaining while it lasts.
Quigg V Martinez- Quigg UD, I think he is a lot better than he gets credit for.

[danamba7]

2 out of 3 so far. Going well.

[danamba7]

3 out of 5 so far. Still doing well.

[Lenny]

Another win, can't not be impressed by all the Brits on the list so far. Who's next then...

[Ian1973]

[keithmoonhangover]

Danny Williams v TBA

[danamba7]

Great win for Haskins. Our lads really are giving everything, even in the losses.

[freddydoesdallas]

Great effort from all involved so far. These are the types of fights that can make genuine PPV stars so hopefully Hearn will take note and let them be seen on standard cards.

I hope Haskins got good viewing figures, he's come on loads since he and Broadhurst decided to try and kill boxing for good in this country. Have to admit i fell asleep at about round 3/4, completely down to booze and an early start and nothing to do with the fight
