Not seen much of Tontchev recently, remember when he first arrived on the scene and fought quite a bit in Britain. Will back Phillips, hopefully he can do the business

Tontchev's recent record suggests that he's a bit shot, but he's still got a bit too much for Phillips, I reckon.

Be a big scalp for Deano if he wins... This devision is very competitive, but not many (infact really only Earl) who has a win over a Tontchev callibre opponent.

It would put Dean right back in the domestic title picture and up the UK rankings.

A few years ago I would have said that Stu, think he's ripe for Phillips now and would go for a mid-rounds stoppage.

But will boost Dean's ratings

Oh yes, definately past his prime - but still would be an oustanding scalp. Looks like his chin is still decent (judging by the Nagy contest) and his two recent defeats have been against probably world class fighters.

I didn't realise it was THE Frankie Leroy who he beat for the WBU belt 2 years back. I remember Leroy getting blown away by Patrick Mullings aways ago at Super Bantam - Leroy did okay after that fight, which shows how talented Mullings was.

He, Tontchev, still appears to be a European title level contender if no longer the very best in Europe - none (with the exception of Earl) have beaten that quality of fighter.

I'm very pleased with this match, glad Maloney is shown faith in Dean. My personal view is that I would have liked one or two more warm ups before this one - against someone like a Maynard.

Tontchev knocked Philips out in the first... Nagy had a UD against Tontchev...
