i was surprised to see richard towers is matched with an american

even more surprised to see that harold sconniers has just recorded a win over one-time-contender Jameel Mccline !!!??

never saw this result at the time...huge upset

sconniers floored deontay a while back

but he is average

will towers (who is abit of an arm puncher) be able to win this ?

He simply has to, Funso !
It's time for Richard to start to make statements and get himself in the mix with the likes of Fury and Price.
I don't know anything about this kid - and to be fair, just looking at records without seeing performances can be deceptive, but I'm really looking forward to this clash.

Been in with some descent fighters (relative to the heavyweights)

JC Gomez
Kevin Johnson
Bermane Stiverne
Jameel McCline
Cedric Boswell
Andre Purlette
Donnell Holmes
Deontay Wilder
Davarryl Williamson

Admittedly been stopped by most times, Towers will Knock him Out , Towers can Punch and Sconiers chin isnt the greatest , 3 rounds .

Sconiers comes up with the odd upset, but most of the time these are against past-it one time contenders. Towers should get him out inside 3-4 rounds.

I like Towers he seems to be a nice guy but I do worry that he is going to end up the same as Tom Dallas. but I hope he proves me wrong.

There's just no comparison between Dallas and Towers.
Towers has points to prove and to do so he's got to get himself in the mix with better known fighters.
I expect Hatton Proms to deliver.
Must win fight this one.

I've been told that Hatton has won purse bids for EU title - Big Rich v Michael Wallisch.

I think orignally the plan was to put this fight on this Saturday's bill mate, but Richard had a few days down with a flu type bug, so they've dropped him down to the published fight, but only over 8 rounds.

Thanks mate. Next fight maybe?

Don't see why not - provided Towers prevails. Which he will !

Well, I speak as I find. I've always found him to be a nice fella and excellent company.

The ropes did chafe a bit mind.

Seriously though, he made big, big mistakes but has done his time and come out seemingly determined to make something of himself - legally.
