Therefore for the British only but a lot at stake with Brian having chance to keep the Lonsdale belt and then move on to European/world level . It's a good fight and anyone with half a boxing brain knows that ,with it being personal to that may make it a great fight - a genuine 50/50 which is what people want to see.

Undercard will be packed with local quality fighters and ticket sellers so expect an atmosphere second to none !

It was no fault of brians the title fight was pulled off the show and said it would be a waste of time them just boxing an 8 rounder with no title on the line!!

Genuine 50/50 fight if Sam doesnt get drawn in but i suspect he might so Rose will stop him late on.IMO
Hope im wrong cos would love to see Sam rewarded he deserves some success .

I'm more of a Webb fan out of the three of them. I'd like to see the winner fight Ochieng, but I'd rather Pryce or Arron got a shot first.

Pryce shouldn't have been fighting at that weight. He still deserves a shot at light middleweight.

How do you work that one out ?
His last fight at LM was 17 months ago and he lost to Rabchenko.
Can't believe that Horse can say he deserves his chance because of his old achievements.
You earn your chance based on recent performances at the weight you're challenging at.

Pryce has been fighting a few pounds above the light middleweight division in his last few fights, that is pretty standard in non-title fights.

Pryce's wins against Butler and Mendy in the last 12 months or so are better than Ochieng's wins in the same time period, in my opinion.

Ochieng really hasn't done anything particularly impressive yet, but because of the Hearn hype, people are talking about him like he is the strongest contender in the division.
