Great fight. Both up for it and in top shape.

Controversial points decision for Smith

Sorry to be so blunt, but given that Dodson got knocked out in his last challenge for this title, I find it hard to predict anything other than a Smith win.

Hey Swifty. I think Smith maybe on points but I think everyones writing Dodson off too much. If he kept his defence up in the last minute of his fight with Quigly he'd have beat him. So I think It'll be closer than most people think.

trouble is dodo has himself convinced he will bully paul. This is bollocks. The cracks will start to show with dodson when he gets hit in the ribs.
and still.......

Paul smith, late stoppage for me, probably a round or two before Quigley managed it.

I think Dodson will have his moments and cause Smith some trouble but Paul will come out on top.

id like smith to beat dodson and fight you in the echo and then move on to the european scene, fighting smith for you makes more sense as he brings the money good luck in april hope you get a decent opponent :TU:

There will always be questions around Dodson's punch resistance and Smith can punch a bit. But if Dodson gets his tactics right and manages to stay out of trouble in the later rounds I think he can spring the upset. He's naturally the bigger man - (wasn't Smith a lightmiddleweight as an amateur? I sometimes think Dodson's style of bouncing around a lot causes him to tire later in fights.Sometimes I think he'd be better off taking his time and slowing things down a tad. But I guess it would be difficult to change his style now and he's always been a buzzsaw of a fighter. I don't think you can question how he trains because by all accounts he's very dedicated. In my eyes its a toss-up match and the needle between the fighters adds to the anticipation. Looking forward to this one! :box:

I think this is a fair comment, as i have always believed paul would win, but it wouldn't be easy. What i wouldn't be surprised to see if the round swinging back and forth until about the 7-8th round, and dodson getting caught body shot wise, and being tko'd

www.merseygloves.com will be focusing on the evnt from next week. We have exclusive interviews with several fighters on the bill including Dodson, Selkirk, Bellew and Heffron(Fingers crossed i'll have all the Smith's as well, arrangements are being made as I speak.)

There'll be a chat with Tony Quigley who'll give us his expert opinion on who wins and how.

The boxing personalities of Liverpool will reveal who they think will win and there will be a massive preview on the big title fight.

Should be a cracker
