Well after saturdays wash out we're surely in for a treat this weekend with one of the best domestic shows in a long time AND with your good old British,Commonwealth,European titles up for grabs with a few unifications to boot,none of your International/Inter Continental,Silver,Regular mumbo jumbo,this saturdays like the good old days

Tyson Fury/Dereck Chisora rematch

Not exactly a fight the public were clamouring for but still a great fight and one where both fighters have improved,all the more interesting seeing as the loser Chisora has argueably improved the most,he's certainly gained the most experience since the first fight,no chance he comes in as unfit and as uninterested as last time,I still think Fury will play it safe to a points decision,he might hit the canvas but i dont think Chisora has the power to KO him,Del Boy's European and vacant British HW titles on the line,also Eliminator for Wlads WBO



Billy Joe Saunders/Chris Eubank Jr

Should be fight of the night and a real needle involved,Saunders European,Commonwealth and British MW belts up for grabs,i think this fights come to early for Eubank,i dont think he's any business being in with a fighter of Billy Joe's experience so soon,i think from Chris's point of view he'd be better staying at domestic level,have a meaningful title fight,I think BJS is bordering world class,i see him closer to Korobov and Lee in ability than Eubank Jr,Saunders on points


Frankie Gavin/Bradley Skeete

Great match up and pretty intriuging but might turn out to be the snoozer of the night,hopefully Gavin's well up for it and looking to make a statement after the Bundu loss,Skeete's been looking a lot better lately and seems to finding a bit of a dig,Gavin's British and vacant Commonwealth WW title on the line,this fight could be a lot closer than people think ,im going for Gavin to win a close/controversial decision




Gary Sykes/Liam Wash

British/Commonwealth SFW Unification fight,and should be a great tear up with lots of action,if it actually goes ahead,Walsh has been inactive on and off for the past 3 years,he needs to get cracking,i like Walsh and he'd have been at a decent level by now if not for injury,I never seen Sykes win over Kays,but if he's still got the engine he'll have his moments,but if he puts in what he usually does then fades then he'll blow himself out completely,i think Walsh stops him late


Throw in Terence Crawford's WBO LW defence against Raymundu Beltran and Evegeny Gradovich's IBF FW title defence against Jayson Velez

Not a bad night of boxing at all if i do say so myself

PHEW that was hard work

Re walsh/sykes, not sure on this but haven't both of them had a few problems getting down to 130lbs?

wondering if what should ne a good high octane fight might be spoiled if they both leave their strength puddled on a gym floor.

am i right that neither have made 130 very often in the last couple of years?

I think beltran should be a good foil for Crawford to shine b t w.

I know Sykes beat Kays for the vacant British SFW and im pretty sure it was this year,Walsh i dont think has fought at the weight since maybe Murray

Right, thanks. If they are both 100% its a cracking little match

I have high hopes for Terence C.

Beltran deseves a bit of luck after only getting the draw with Burns but i agree that Crawford will make the job look easy

Beltran deserves a bit of luck but he won't be getting any by fighting Crawford. A real shame but hopefully he'll pick up some of the pieces when Crawford inevitably moves to 140
