Frampton is a no brainer, but this fight I'm not sure bookies have O'Kane as a clear favourite at 1/5. What do you think about this?

O'Kane... But then I would say that.

Stoppage or points?

Hope by points

Depends if Hope has the power to keep O'Kane off him or not. O'Kane has improved a little since the Ryder loss where he was just too gung-ho early on and burned himself out. He's hooked up with Bernardo Checa and showed in his last fight against Anthony Fitzgerald (for the Irish title in July) that he has gone back to his old amateur days of using the jab a bit more and thinking about what he's doing.

Hope for me. Only recent losses where against BArker and Proksa, no shame in them. Always looks to be in fantastic shape too.

How did people see this in the end? I thought it was razor thin, could have gone either way but one judge had it 118-111

Ridiculous score, but we are getting plenty of those at the moment.

I had Hope 116-112.

I had some wedge in Hope but I scored the bout as unbiased as I could and I had Hope losing by 1 round. The 118-111 judge needs to be dry bummed into oblivion along with CJ Ross.

Had O'Kane winning it myself even with the dubious knockdown.

I had some wonga on hope points at 13/2 so might have been scoring a bit generous for hope and had it a draw. I think billy joe would have a field day against O Kane I really don't rate him

O' Kane really looked out on his feet for the last few rounds. Absolutely knackered.
