looks a good bill, hows ticket sales going? set for a sell out?

still tickets advertised on the matchroom press release today for stephen simmons, I think it sells out as the Braehead Arena holds 6000

Never seen Brophy but Harry is coming to fight. His record is very deceptive and he will jump on him.

That's a hard fight for Michael Roberts, rambaslata beat Scott Allan in Glasgow and has been robbed a good few times, also the slowey fight v badger Hughes is a genuine 50-50

Jamie did you see the first fight between Slowey and Hughes?? it was a war from the first second. I had Slowey up by 1 point at the end but it could have went either way.

Decent card. I wouldn't use the word good. Woodhouse v Limond has the potential to be a borefest but could also explode at anytime with Curtis.. Simmons v Camacho I actually think may well be a cagy affair. Burns fight I can't as the lads a relative nobody. Ricky's fights are normally quite boring would take it being boring and him winning over exciting and losing.. Slowey v Hughes is actually the fight of the night contender. I Think Slowey will make some adjustments and win wide points.. Hughes will come out to war.. Ramblasata v Roberts is a joke the boy just fought a Super Fly in Scott Allan now he's fighting a Super Feather. I think Roberts will be too big but he really needs to be moving forward with opponents.. I don't agree Brophy is in for a hard night Harry will come to fight but it would David who is a far better boxer.. Scott Allan should win comfortably against his boy.. Not enough good fights for me to buy a ticket so will watch on the TV

Anyone know what John Simpson's plans are?

It's a little step up but Ramabaletsa is a natural bantamweight so you'd expect him to just be too small. Roberts is massive at the weight aswell.

Looking forward to several fights on the card,not sure on Ricky Burns opponent,unbeaten 16 (13) (i think) so could be a tough fight again for the Rickster.IMO both simmons & Limond match ups have the potential to be great fights,the rest though are certain wins,Slowey v Hughes again comfortable fight for Slowey,Roberts v Rambelesta poor fight for Roberts & really needs a step up in class going in with 14 fights should be up in the mix for a britsh title,not a bad match up for Brophy but would again like to see fight for a celtic or so.

Looks like a good show to me, I reckon Badger beats Slowey , also I think Rambaslata gives Roberts a good test. Hes a decent fighter. Scott Allan fight was at bantam and rambaslata ideal weight is super bantam he has said himself so hes moving up the weight. Doesnt matter if Roberts is big for the weight he isnt noted for being a puncher at all so will be a nice match up. Morrison is doing the right thing with Roberts, I always have banter etc but i know hes a very tidy boxer but at moment hed struggle to keep a puncher off so he needs to be built gradually. just my opinion of course.

Burns was very poor last time out (basically since he joined Hearn), and a big performance is needed to get the fans back on side.

A lot of good fights on the undercard, hope it goes well.

Be good to see if there is a big improvment in Burns changing trainer,something had to change and with Tony Simms hopefully it will the right direction, id like to see him center the ring rather than sit on the ropes with a high guard some good talents in simms gym thoug with the likes of Ward,Campbell,Joshua and Mitchell,Rambalesta boxed butcher at Super Fly i think & butcher won easy enough on points as has slowey.

Both beat him by 3 rounds , heard slowey fight was close with rambaslata, guys it will be a close fight in my eyes, he's better than his record suggests and Michael has not faced a better opponent, he said himself he goes down to lighter weights to get fights I'm sure, think he wants to fight at super bantam?

Ricky Burns vs Dejan Zlaticanin: Although his opponent is unbeaten I think Ricky will get back to winning ways and look forward to getting another shot at a world title, I haven't seen that much of him and I don't think he's beaten anyone of note and with the crowd at full tilt Dejan might not like the atmosphere.

Willie Limond vs Curtis Woodhouse: Would really like Willie to get the win and he has all the tools to do the job but I watched him against Mitch Prince last year and he started really well but faded badly and it ended up being a very close fight. Curtis will bring a high workrate and will be strong I'm thinking he might nick a close points win against Willie.

Stevie Simmons vs Wadi Camacho: From what I have seen in their careers I really don't see how Wadi can beat Stevie, strenght, heart and stamina all seem to be in Stevie's favour and if he doesn't let his emotion's get the better of him I see a Simmons win by ko.

Jon Slowey vs Kris Hughes: I have been told the first fight was really close but imo it is Jon that is on the way up, Kris has had some hard fights and I think Jon will beat him a bit easier this time around with a wide points decision.

Scotty Cardle vs TBA: TBA doesn't usually get much wins so I suppose it will be a win for Scotty!!

David Brophy vs. Harry Matthews: Billy has been working really hard with David and with Ricky gone is able to spend more time with him, he has travelled for top quality sparring on the lead up to this fight and think that will show. But David so far hasn't impressed when boxing on Sky and I hope he can start to show us all what Billy has been seeing in the gym. Points win for David Brophy.

Michael Roberts vs. Michael Rambaletsa: Unlike a couple of posts I have seen earlier I can only see a Michael Roberts win, Michael might not be the biggest puncher out there but his boxing skills cannot be questioned! Imo Rambaletsa will be too small to trouble Michael who is a massive Featherweight. Points win for Michael Roberts.

Callum Johnson vs Nathan King: Great to see Callum back on the shows in Scotland really nice guy and deserves to be busier in his career!! Points win for Callum

Hugh Gray vs. William Warburton: Hugh has been out for over a year with injury but he is young and good technically and will be able to get revenge for team mate Craig Kelly's slip up against Warburton in Ravenscraig a couple of weeks ago. Hugh Gray points win

Ryan Smith vs. Kristian Laight: Ryan was a super talented kid as a junior and I think this will be an easy points win for him

Scott Allan vs. Brett Fidoe: Scott should come through this ok and get back to winning ways, he might just have to watch early on. Scott Allan points win.

Overall a decent show without having any spectacular names on the bill but I see a few really good fights and a good nights boxing.
