Looking forward to this fight. Any thoughts and predictions?

Lyon's in great form and improving. Wale should provide a very good test, maybe force him into the late rounds and test Craig's stamina.

Probably fight of the night.

Interesting fight. Both are strong fighters at the weight. I'm leaning towards Wale though as he's boxed a higher level when he was a super-bantamweight. His non-stop aggression may give him the edge. He does seem to get a cut a lot though and that could be a factor.

think lyons will win on cuts great undercard fight

Think Lyon will weather an early storm but then will take over and grind him down, probably around the ninth.

Good-looking fight.

Im with ya, Wale last 5 opponents have been of Good Class had a Close one with Marsh who went on to be in front before getting stopped in the 11 on Cuts against Booth, lost on a SD against Casey, even his last opponent 6-1 at the time only losing to Carl Frampton 40-37... Think this will be a Good Fight really looking forward to it...

Should be an absolute cracker! I fancy Wale in this one. I see Lyon starting fast pushing Wale back with his hard, crisp combo's but after about 4 I see Wale's relentless style giving Lyon trouble, it'll be interesting to see how Lyon fights going backwards. I see Wale's superior strength and speed taking him through late to knick a razor thin decision.

This is a genuine 50-50 in my opinion. Wale has fought at higher level but Lyon appears to be going places. I think he'll take a close dec.

Good luck to josh a nice kid

I'm going for Lyons to just squeak by on points, think he will land the better quality shots, good match up.

Great fight. Hatton certainly delivers good undercards.

Saw Lyons last win for the title. He looked relentless, this will be a cracker looking at who Wale has mixed with. I'll go for Lyons, very late stoppage.

i think they will both start fast and can see it being a fast pace all the ay through the fight i just think josh will beat him on points in a very good fight .

Yes Hattons put together good shows, will it mean shorter but more lucrative careers for his boxers?

Hope Wale wins!

Ref called a halt end of the third. Was a real shame as it was just started to turn into a cracker. Good exchanges in each round, toe to toe stuff. Wale started the quicker won the first, landed plenty of clean shots. Second round was nip and tuck, Lyons looked like he was about to find a bit of rhythm probably nicking the third.

A rematch is a must.

Ha ha can see where ya comin from

I put on a plethora(good sunday word)of daft bets on my online laddies acc last night and took this fight for a draw or technical draw. 25p at 22-1. early retirement here we come!

That were shaping up into a really good fight between two good fighters; both were game as hell and showed a lot of class in the post fight interview. How long do you think it'll take for a cut like that (Lyons was very bad) to heal properly?
