Looking at the picks and other media today, Anthony Fowler looks very weight drained to me. A haunted look almost.

I thought they both looked drained, but your right, out of the two, Fowler's face showed it the most.
Smith is very experienced, I'm not that concerned about him.
Fowler on the other hand is big for the weight. Let's hope it doesn't factor into what should be a cracking good domestic dust up :box:

I quite like him. He still has a lot of improving to do and doesn’t have big power but I think he’s a tidy boxer with a good jab and workrate. Could do with a bit more head movement though and I’ve no idea if he can take a shot.

Sokolowski’s had plenty of time to prepare for this and deserved to beat Adeleye so I like the fight. Still think Dacres will win though - probably on points.
If Dacres wins legitimately, ie we agree he won the decision or even gets a genuine stoppage then I’m sorry but he deserves huge credit. To take Sokolowski on in your 3rd fight shows ambition. I can only think of Joe Joyce as a Brit heavyweight who’s taken a tougher assignment in their first 3 fights.

I agree - he’d deserve credit. Sokolowski looks in good shape too and he’s had at least 6 weeks training for this which is unusual for him.

Me too. It’s gone a bit under the radar because of Fury Wilder.

Not sure if I’d prefer it on a different night, or to have the bumper night that awaits.

I’m really looking forward to this now. 4 fights that are close to being 50/50, Dacres taking a step up, McGrail making his debut. Plus the Courteney fight which I’m not too bothered about although I think she may lose.
