I like Economides, tidy little fighter and a nice lad. Not been very active this year though, any reason why?
Was at his last fight, in May...

I put a bit on about Stephen Russell on the Hatton Promotions Post
Hes an Excellent boxer , Counter puncher with all the moves
has power although hasnt stoppen anyone as of yet but has had a few down
In the Ams was British Junior Champion and Runner up the year after getting beat closley by home fighter Vinny Mitchell (apparently Ref was on Russells back all through the fight about holding etc )
Beat Paul Appelby twice in the Ams aslo and was always getting best boxer of Tounament awards.
Been pretty inactive though due to a few Problems with his Promotions Manager.
Seems like decent fight if it happens.

Just seen Paul today and he is jammed full of confidence!! He has finished 25 rounds of sparring with Rendall Munroe and is more than ready!!!
He has heard the fight is definately on SKY, I really can't wait, the winner moves on and is destined to become a star!!!!!

My mate picked up on that line, won't repeat what he said as it may cause offence to some of our PC boys but it was quite funny!!! I do go on to mention Katia(Paul's rather hot girlfriend) so I'm not turning at all!! ;;-)

Will do Hookie!!!!
I think it's an awsome oppurtunity for both!!! The winner moves on and will probably get an area title shot soon enough, but I'm sure the loser will come again, two prospects, no fear...that's what boxings about!!

i dont know much about Paul but Stephen is Extremley hard to pin down and catch
think it will be a distance fight .
Russell points
How many rounds is it over?
Russel has mainly fought 6x2 min rounds i think

It's over 6 x3...thats my worry for Paul, but he does wear them down and has decent skills himself!!
Pick-em fight and two great guys to boot!!! what price the draw?
