I really think there might be some value in Geraghty.

5/1 for the win, don't think Sharp really has seen this level of opponent yet and stylistically not the best match-up for Sharp.

I wouldn't be surprised if he lost this one.

Cant see it. Declan is nowhere near the level and cant hold a shot or have any form of power that commands respect. Seems a nice guy but has always talked alot and never backed it. May be a good fight while it lasts but for me a boring chess match with sharp stopping it with a body shot or a boring points win.

Got to agree with Jamie. Declan is not on the same level and will get his ears boxed in. Sharp for all his Skills lack abit of power so think he will take it on points and at 4-1 think is worth having a punt

I see deco as a deffo outsider but odds of 5 t 1 I thought were worth throwing 20 on. Iv seen loads of geraghty but none of sharp so ill give him a chance of a upset :bag:

Geraghty has a glass chin and makes silly mistakes too frequently. Shame because he has talent but never really developed as a pro. Losing to McCullough the way he did really exposed him. Sharp turned southpaw and laid him out cold. Geraghty gets off balance far too much and can't seem to exit safely. He is just not as slippery or tricky as he thinks he is and gets a 10-count in his fights as a result. It's time to pack it in before he gets hurt.

Yeah think it's time for deco to walk away. Hes one of the guys who poses a little bit of resistance but a 30 or 36 minute fight he just doesn't have the ability to hold out. Nice boxer and has skills but being put out like that is not healthy. Possibly get a job from mtk as he has been there from the beginning. As for sharp I watched him live when clark beat barrett and never been that impressed. Same as barrett but guys are getting alot of credit for beating mccorry when in truth hes below the level. I believe barrett stops sharp and Bowen stops sharp. Time shall tell.

To be honest I havnt got a single clue about how they fights go haha.

Cacace is so inactive and against ward I didn't think he was at his best and was gun shy. I see the fight v Bowen being a shoot out. Anto doesnt like body shots so that may be the key for Bowen in that fight and the reason they fancy it. Against sharp I believe they all beat him, he got to much credit for his won over Woodstock, woodstock isnt upto much and I said it before it. Very limited. Barrett I believe stylistically is the hardest fight for cacace as it would be a boxing match and the kryptonite for barrett is a pressure fighter. It's an amazing division and I hope they all fight each other. We are hoping ronnie will br back to get involved in it all too.

Cheers, Anto has been inactive, too inactive. A lot of the through no fault of his own. Needs a good promoter. Would love to see all these fights happen starting with bowen in November. Hope Ronnie doing well.

Yeah he really seems to get the raw end of the deal to be honest and would wish that on nobody. Boxing is a funny old business. It's all about how he does the weight, boxing wise there can be no questions. I never liked his last choice of manager and it was a bit out the blue. As much as Mark Dunlop really isnt my favourite person I cant deny the job he is doing with Ronnie and if anto signs there then theres a natural fight Mark will make. Ronnie has been good hes training away and sparring etc so its moving slowly. Cant wait till November till the fight is eventually done.

Well. I'm not so sure about Sharp Vs Bowen now. I thought it would be a good 50/50 dust up.
That was Sharp's 3rd Euro fight, no indication that he is going to have a bash at the British with Bowen.
Probably the right move to put that aside, I think Bowen stops him :maybe:
