whats everyones biews on the fight ?? for me prince is looking good at the moment going to be a cracker

Good fight, i think arron at the moment is the clear favourite.

Absolutely over the moon for Brian it's all he's wanted for a long time, going for rose on points

Good long range fight but Arrons extra experiance sees him taking it on points for me

I like Brian, but Arron is just too big for him. Unfortunately Brian doesnt have a great punch so it becomes a chess match & he loses on points.

Where is the venue?

Wigan Robin Park

Why has Brian Rose been afforded a title shot?

Good to see Arron is going to be back for one more fight this year, shame he hasn't been more active. Looking forward to it and think he stops Rose late. Will be quite the combined height

Thanks Adam.

English champion, plus its a volutary.

As a voluntary I just abut see the merits in this, I can only see a fairly comfortable win for Arron though, I just think Rose is at that fringe level just below the British title guys.

Just had a look at the rankins at British Light Middle and Rose is probably about the best available opponent they could pick tbh:

1 Prince Arron 255 21(4)-3(2)-1

2 Ryan Rhodes 190 45(31)-5(3)-0

3 Sam Webb 118 17(5)-2(2)-0

4 Bradley Pryce 97 31(18)-10(4)-0

5 Brian Rose 65 17(5)-1(1)-1

6 Jamie Cox 63 16(9)-0-0

7 Martin Concepcion 62 18(11)-9(6)-0

8 Tom Doran 61 10(3)-0-0

9 Ryan Toms 55 9(4)-0-0

10 Steve O'Meara 32 13(2)-2-0

I'm not Gunna come on here telling you brian is guna win everyday till fight night but be prepared for a shock..

It is a decent choice for a voluntary.
I did hear that Prince turned down a shot at the Euro.

I think this is a very good fight and one Arron cannot take lightly. Rose coming in as English champ and off the back of a good win against Martin Welch as well. Still think Arron will win this though as got the much better pedigree.

Is he still going thru with the Eric Ochieng fight? or is that cancelled?

Thing with Rose is he got KO'd by Maxwell. The way Arron's power has gradually got better I can see Arron troubling Rose if he connects with a few. Only 4 KO wins on Arron's record but 3 in his last 3 fights.

Cancelled I think

Why has Arron not had a fight earlier? Big fan of his, will be very hard to beat at this level in my opinion, his height and skills is a big advantage.
