Think Slowey is boxing for title, as is Simmons and Simpson at feather. Dunno about Cardle.

Unnamed opponent? Not too many too chose from. Simmons and Simpson going for titles too. Waiting to see undercard lineup before getting ticks

The main fight is worth the entry fee alone let alone another 3 title fight plus Luke Campbell and Scotty Cardle,David Brophy what is there to think about?

If any fights are well matched. I don't want to take holidays off work to go to a show that's a complete shutout for all home fighters with no excitement. Surely you know some away boxers?

Celtic title would think they will be looking for someone like Dai Davies for Slowey. Hope I'm wrong on that one. What's the chance of Brophy v Boulden rematch?? I think apart from Ricky's fight the rest will be very easy fights too call!!

Well I think you'll be very happy with the 3 undercard title fight very well matched IMO.
As i say though Burns v Beltran will be some fight

You don't want it to be a great fight though, surely you'd rather Ricky took Beltran apart and smashed him up.

Simmons and Camacho seem to be getting developed in parallel with the aim of them eventually facing off in about 6 months time possibly for some kind of domestic title.

Billy it depends who they fight against. If the opposition is poor then the undercard isn't worth it.. It's worth the entrance money alone to watch Ricky but unless the other fights were evenly matched fights I wouldn't waste my time as I hate watching mismatches

Stop getting your panties in a twist Billy aha. I said I don't want to take a holiday and travel to the to the show if its not 50/50 fights. Just because there's certain belts on the line doesn't mean they will be good fights. Hearn usually matches well and I know Morrison isn't scared to put his boys in with good guys but like most, I wouldn't buy tickets without knowing the line up.

I think the line up of home fighters is decent enough value for £40 , plus getting to see Luke Campbell and Scott Cardle aswell ,as these guys wont be fighting reguarly up here. Its all down to opnions of course, but 3/4 title fights over the championship distance is good value, while the opponents might not be public knowledge or even up on Box rec im sure there will be some decent ones in there ...

yes i am aware that he has Scottish family ,his brother used to play/or plays for dunfermaline blah blah , but out of his eleven fights he hasent had one up here yet has , so i think its fair to say he wont be fighting up here as much as down south ? you might know different, however i was basing my assessment on the details i have provided

Yeah, think his brother plays for Raith now. Cardle is a good boxer. He should get down to lightweight because there's a few good fights for him. Cardle v Tommy Coyle would be good.
