Another late night for us Uk fans. It's not the best fight to stay up for. I believe it starts around 3am on Sky Sports?

Anyone working Sunday?

Not sure if Antonio Orozco's fight will be shown as part of the broadcast.

Who's staying up for the fight?

And who is your last minute pick?

Guaranteed.

Undecided. I was quite big on Campbell when he turned pro but it looks as if he's not nearly as good as if first anticipated. I'm a fan of Linares but I'd like to see Campbell turn in a performance and take it as he's a Brit but I can't see that happening. I actually think it could be a good fight though so I'm in two minds.

I see Linares being too cute for Campbell. Maybe drop him once but comfortably take it on points. Campbell might put in an excellent performance amd good if he does. Nothing against him, but I don't see Linares losing

He will be too cute for Campbell

Didn't ever think id see so many people think Campbell would win

Definitely not staying up for it, will happily watch Sunday morning though.

How can you call yourself a boxing fan if you don't watch this fight?

Not so much think he'l win as think he's a value bet - 7/2 = 22.22% chance. Way to low for me.
Linares is class and the obvious favourite, but I can see plenty of reasons why Campbell might pull it off.

AND - betting aside - KeithMoonHangover has it spot on above - how can you call yourself a boxing fan if you don't watch this fight ?

It's definitely an intriguing fight, Campbell is a much better boxer than Crolla but hasn't got experience at this level. It might be one those fights were we see a Brit do it against the odds. I'll be watching, it should be a good fight whatever the outcome.

I’m sure pretty much everyone on here will watch it, but the thread title is a bit misleading - the poll is actually asking who is staying up for it, not who’s watching it.

Same, looking forward to Sunday morning boxing without the spoilers

Probably catch it on YouTube. Should be a good technical boxing match. That could mean it ends up not particularly exciting though.

Ha!
Given the time differences it's live free to air on Sunday afternoon.

Enough to cheer me up if Lukie loses

I get home from work at midnight tonight, then up at 7am to watch West Ham Spurs then cycling then work. Will try to slip out early tomorrow (10pm) to watch Campbell win

Hopefully get home in time

I'll record it and watch it with my breakfast. Unfortunately I just can't seem to take to Campbell at all so hopefully Linares wins.

Is it wrong to say he sort of reminds me of Ken Buchanan????

No and Campbell by tko.

I think he has a good chance. People are writing him off too easily. I have put a medium bet on.

Some f*cker woke me up by banging on my door at 4am. Haven't slept since.

Going to be a long day.

I’m going to a whisky festival at 5, so I’ll be black out drunk by the time this comes on. Can I still call myself a boxing fan?

Campbell or Linares?
