Wouldn't be so sure.

If Warren was going to look after Smith he would have had him fighting on the April show and the show in June ( Headlined by Chisora Wilder). Joe Gallagher said in his column in the MEN a few weeks back how both Liam and Scott Quigg were frustrated with lack of activity.

Looks a well matched fight this really hope it happens.

Liam is another mothballed fighter like Callum Johnson and Craig Evans.

But hey, who cares when BN show all this amazing foreign stuff all for a pint of beer a week ?

Liam Smith wins this. Take it the eagle is off the Froch bill then.

This is a great fight

whats happened to callum johnson? liked the look of him when he first came on the scene but then just vanished.

Funny how the youngest smith brother is signed with matchroom isnt it

Callum Johnson turned pro with a gold medal and Naz 'guiding' him.

Since then he's had more cancellations than fights.

Especially when compared to stablemate Cardle who's had twice the fights in a third of the time.

Liam wins IMO

Why that?

I think Eagle wins this and lets hope the fight actually happens.

That is some spin you have put on it, mate! I also pay £60 a month to watch Callum Smith knocking out bums so maybe he should lend his brother a few bob if your putting it like that.

Smith wins close points I think. Perfect time for them both to contend for the British title.

do they have a date for this card, yet? ochieng doesn't even have an opponent
for the froch undercard 14 days out. maxwell took his ochieng fight on a few days
notice so it's still possible to find a decent match for the 25th depending on how long
he would have to prepare for smith.

Hope not as it's bare as it is. I'm half regretting buying tickets.

Eagle all the way!

Smith hits too hard, Erick is very skilled but does not have the power to dissuade Liam who will boss th bout to a points win.

The result at the end of the bout will not surprise me I just want to know if the commonwealth belt will also be up for grabs.

Would be an interesting card with BJ Saunders vs Ryder and maybe Darren Barker
