Warrington defends his silly belt against Hishashi Amagasa (I expect to hear lots of references to him dropping Rigo from Sky) and Stuart Hall fights Rodrigo Guerrero (IBF Bantamweight final eliminator)

Just had a look at his stats and record. Nothing jumps out apart from flooring Rigo in a fight he was stopped. Says he's 5'10.1/2! Wtf!!!

Cracking card, Guerrero vs Hall has FOTY candidate written over it, Amagasa is clumsy as hell but has the power to be dangerous

And he made 122lbs for the Rigo bout!

He beat the current (Takenaka) and former OPBF (Rufino) and has a notable win over former world champ Lee (who beat Poonsawat who did Dunne)

Can Amagasa beat Josh ?

"Can?" Yes
"Will?" Probably not

He has the power to hurt Josh but is VERY clumsy,and I suspect Josh will be too fast and too smart for the "Slimming Assasin". If Josh gets into a war it could be very gruelling.

Amagasa's face is a worry though, he swelled up a fair bit against the Thai he fought last year and the Rigo fight has probably left him prone to swelling.

Looks like a couple decent fights on paper.
I remember Amagasa looking massive against Rigo, not sure if Josh has the power to hurt a lump like him, but he will likely outwork him.
Stuart Hall gets a lot of stick but is rarely in a bad fight, going off Prospects reaction I have no need to expect this fight to be any different.

For those who haven't...watch Guerrero vs Rosas and Guerrero vs Gauthier...

I'm going to this one for sure,

Stuey is a mate so i'll be supporting him and I reckon its going to be one hell of a fight, he knows it too and will train like a demon.

I'm also looking forward to seeing the warrington fight, as his fans usually create a good atmosphere! (Which is hard for me to say being a blades fan)

I'd probably keep the blades bit to yourself on the night
Saw some of his fans on a German undercard a couple of years ago. Absolutely mental.
Great support in Leeds just really hope they don't get whipped into a frenzy and something bad happens (riot style)

On a sidenote Flanagan has some mental fans aswell only a level below Warrington. Luckily BN don't send Buncey into the crowd egging them on like sky did with Nelson in Leeds. CAR CRASH TV

Don't think he has to worry mate, they're Leeds fans they like to look all 'mental' but usually prefer a bit of random vandalism than actually fighting someone who may hit them back.

Warrington's fans were pretty mental when he fought in Manchester v Rendall Munroe. Had a great view of one of these wannabe hooligans try to pick up a chair to throw, only to realise the chairs in the row (floor seats) were all attached. Angry but undeterred and fuelled no doubt by Stella and teenage angst, just moved it slightly out of position before being nailed by the security staff.

Didn't it all kick off between them and the locals that night?

Warrington fans certainly did their level best for that to happen. I've seen worse at many a football match though.

So..
too much of a coward to actually go over to the person and hit them he'd rather throw something
and too thick to realise the chairs are always attached

Yep sounds like Leeds

Dave Ryan vs Garrido fight should also be an entertaining one. Eddie actually put on a good card on here.

Fan of both. Should be a very tough fight but Ryan been really impressive lately. Fancy him to win on points.

I fancy Ryan to stop him late in a competitive entertaining fight.

I have been involved and seen many an instance involving what us Blades call the 'seat smashers' (leeds fans)...haha.

I'll enjoy the night and won't be worried too much, seen it all before from their lot.

be a cracking night
