Josh Warrington vs. Joel Brunker - September 5th 2015

[wesshaw1985]

Warrington is unbeaten.
Brunkers only career loss coming to Lee Selby.

who has everyone got?

[pyenest77]

Hearn isnt in the business of putting his fighters in with live opponents until they reach world level, so on that basis I think that Brunker has an inflated record & I go for Warrington on points.

[maley1984]

Think it will be close for 4-5 rounds then warrington will take over and win wide points

[Boxerbeetle]

I wasn't impressed with Brunker against Selby, so I'll go with Warrington.

[Stuarty]

Warrington will outwork him and win on points.

[Tarkus]

I wasn't impressed with Brunker against Selby, so I'll go with Warrington.

I wasn't impressed with Warrington against a bum so I'll go with Brunker.

Couldn't agree more

[Andrew]

I thought Brunker was poor against Selby and had an inflated record anyway. Josh should be pasting him very convincingly, but I thought he regressed in his last fight.

Seeing what Mitchell Smith did to Tuberion (regardless of the significant weight advantage Smith had ) Josh should have been beating him the manner of which he won the European Title.

I would not be surprised if Josh stops him late thought not as easily as Selby did.

[handsofstone]

I wasnt impressed with Brunker against Selby and his records padded ,i think Warrington will dominate him and outhustle him fighting in close all the way but i dont know if he can stop him

[crusader]

Brunker's record is padded and him being an Olympian is in my view reflective of the relatively low qualifying standards there have been for boxers from the Australia and Pacific region. I've seen him fight a few times and he's never looked better than mediocre, and I suspect that Warrington beats him fairly handily.

I wonder what will happen if Warrington loses ? They've built him up a little too much and his fans might not take kindly to seeing him put on his backside.

And i hope SKY rein back on all that nonsense they had with the crowd at his last fight and just put an extra bout on TV instead of wasting the time like that.

[handsofstone]

I wouldnt be surprised if both the English title fights arent shown

[maley1984]

I tweeted hearn about it he said only one wud b shown live.

The show is called "Marching On Together"! They're ramping the angle up if anything.

This will end up badly when Warrington loses a fight, I thought even Hearn wouldn't be so stupid to stoke up a crowd so much

[DannyNaz]

I am a boxer and Leeds football fan.
I am on most of the Leeds forum and don't be fooled that it is just football idiots who go to his fights not having a clue.

All the people on the Leeds forum understand he ha shown a lack of power and all agree selby would smash him at the moment.

I think they are just excited to have a fighter with an exciting style to get behind who has basically done a selby by coming from small hall shows to winning British European very quickly.

He is still young and I think this is a good fight for him. Brunker looked ruff at the weigh in to me. I think josh could possibly push for a late stoppage. Which would do his confidence a world of good.

Early next year as a real test I would like to see him in with gradovich,

Hopefully it's Lowe v Speight.

Id say townend v glover is more competitive that opens the show i think speight lowe is live float. Lowe will win wide points speight tough and game but can b outboxed

[jamiem26]

5/1 on Brunker is far too big to ignore. Can see him nicking it.

I was thinking the same it's worth a small punt. Esp after his uninspired last performance.

[handsofstone]

Bellew looked a bit flat tonight,i give Kulikauskis credit though he at least let his hands go and he was lively for a few rounds as far as head movement goes but once Tony switched on he took over

[Boxing Prospect]

God Bellew really is irritating...

...and I can't fornicating wait for Ramirez to smash the living crap out of him!

And yes...technically the guy did "beat" Kalenga...watching the fight however it may well go down as one of the worst decisions in recent memory

My favourite part in the interview was when he said "people think I've had more fights then I actually have", no Tony we know how many you've had its on BoxRec. Cant wait for him to fight someone good and get embarrassed, again.

[dookus]

anyone have a fishing line?

[crusader]

Bellew seems to look a bit flat a lot.

Joke of an opponent and I imagine that most of the people who mention the Kalenga win in his defense haven't seen the fight.....absolutely disgusting decision and his only notable win among a bunch of shitty losses.
