I thought this fight was on during the day but seems it starts midnight after the Rigo/Dickens card,interesting fight,Singh's looked decent so far,not flawless but good enough i suppose,he's stopped everyone but hasnt fought anyone of note and he doesnt look a big hitter ,Hope isnt the fighter he was but its still a big step up for Singh,im sure the last time i seen Kerry was the O'Kane fight which was close but was 3 years ago now,i know he had a bit of controversy in last fight when the decision was turned in his favour so he still has something left it seems but im not sure at what level

Hope will give it a go but i think Singh will be too fresh for him and will get the KO not long after the halfway mark

Kerry Hope's trainer Gareth Williams says he is very familiar with Vijender Singh and has been preparing to take him on for 6 years.

Vijender Singh defeated Kerry Hope. But for the first time in his career Singh forced to go the distance. All 3 judges had it for Singh : 98-92, 98-92 and 100-90.

Cameron Hammond now 16-0 and likely to be heading toward a Commonwealth title fight, had a UD win against a debutant on the undercard.
