I would say it's looking more and more likely that Dec 12th will be on regular Sky rather than PPV which would be sensible. Really good fight night, but awful PPV.

2 announced fights while you would want to see them, both are domestic level where none of the 4 have any big wins between them and there are clear favourites so 75/25 fights at best and more like 90/10 in AJ's case. The fact that Frampton-Quigg will be on PPV just 2 months later and that it is just over 5 weeks away so Bellers, Mitchell and Campbell won;t be matched very tough suggests to me that we will have a top 'free' night of boxing to end the year. Mind, nothing would surprise me with Hearn though

That's the first time I've heard of Kelly.

Jimmy Kellys a good fighter from Manchester. His last fight was a live float on b-o-x-n-a-t-i-o-n. He'll have a good chance against Smith mark my words.

Huge step up for Jimmy. I saw him in the schoolboys only 5 or 6 years ago. He stopped my pal.

quite like the Smith/Kelly fight I know people will rightfully say Kelly hasn't done anything to deserve a shot at a world title but its a voluntary defense for Smith against the unknown really (kelly operated levels and levels below but hes done everything asked of him) so you never know.

Better than a 'ranked opponent' gatekeeper where we all know its a foregon conclusion.

No wonder Jamie Cox is banging on about Frank getting him a shot at a world title in 2016 without beating anyone of note, when the likes of Buglioni and Kelly have got them this year.

Although Kelly hasn't done anything to earn this shot and it has come out the blue. He is a very good fighter. I witnessed him spar some top Americans brought over just to spar him a year ago.

He had a very good amateur career and I believe on the night he will give a very good account of himself but ultimately falling short. I thought he would have battled Liam Williams for the vacant british which would have been really intriguing.

SIgns with Lee Beard as manager. Has one fight for WBO intercontinental and then gets a world shot. Seems that Lee Beard is to Warren what Joe Gallagher is to Eddie Hearn. Northwest manager/trainer

Don't get me wrong I like the guy but at the end of the day it's two past their best fighters in a low key contest. The way Hearn was bleating on I thought it was going to be something half decent to help sell the PPV. Really like Paulie as a pundit also. Great to listen to.

Paulie wouldn't need that fight, I know he has had ambition to win the European Title due to his Italian roots. He should pack it in after and Sam beating him proves nothing now anyway Paulie should not be fighting IMO.

Stalker v Evans II added to the bill for the 19th.

Unless it was already there. Pretty sure it wasn't though.
