Jack Catterall defends WBO I/C belt against Joe Hughes at Macron Stadium, Bolton. Fight is also an eliminator for British title. Friday 13th May.



Should be a canny little night's boxing that. On BN.

Good fight that I'm a big fan of Catterall, haven't seen much of Hughes but was at his last fight when he beat Anthony Upton and was impressed.

I'm not sold on Catterall just yet. Think he has been much stronger than his opponents and weighing much more on the night. I'd like to see him tested by a big, strong useful light welter, somebody like Dave Ryan. I think Hughes will give Cattterall some trouble once assuming the fight goes past halfway. Be interesting to see how Robbie Davies Junior does against Putkonen tomorrow night

We'll know a lot more about Catterall after this.

I heard Jack took his fight when Horse said he needed to beat domestic opponents to break into his B&I P4P top 30 list, should be a good fight, cheers Horse

did Lenny Daws get a rematch with Nieto sorted?
wouldn't mind Catterall facing the winner of that asap...

Think the rematch is on, but i believe Dave Ryan should be at the head of the queue for a shot at euro

Not been to the Macron for a fight before, but it's a decent looking card. Looking at the seat map on Eventim, circa 500 capacity? Less than half the size of York Hall?

Ah right, cheers. So the reserved seating is a bit of a rip.

Catterall should win this. Glad he's fighting Brits again after his year of overMatched foreigners.

Someone mentioned the Ryan fight, that would be a absolute corker.

I imagine that will be inner towards ring in a sectioned area

Aye mate. Looks like it on the seat map. Cheers.

Looking forward to this one. Really like Jack and think he'll go far.

That seating map only shows the ringside seats (approx 400) as the others are unreserved, Imagine it'll hold approx 1000+

Cheers Ste. If you click one of the grey seats it gives you the unreserved price. I'll be there early doors as it's not far from work so hopefully get a good one.

jack will win this

but i agree with a couple of others, i'd like to see him box dave ryan

Should be fine with a venue that size I'd image and as you say not worth paying the extra for ringside

Lee Beard constantly claims no Brits will fight Catterall. I doubt that is true, Robbie Davies Jr and Dave Ryan would take that fight in a heartbeat, amongst plenty of others. Too much is read into Catterall's win over Stalker, who drew with Carus who then drew with Chris Adway who 4-12(losses)-2.
