Morris vs Simpson.

Cracking little fight on the undercard of Harrison vs Hussein - possibly the hardest pick in this weeks predictions.

Whats the betting on this one, it could be interesting. I see a distance fight, but at the moment am really undecided on the call. Impressed with both in their performances vs Rocky Dean (Morris) and Dazzo Williams (Simpson).

Your right Stu it is a tough fight to pick although the toughest IMO is Marquez-Mabuza i just don't know which way to go on this one.

The other one I am struggle on and of course, not exactly brimming with confidence with my Harrison vs Hussein pick.

It's a tough old week for predictions, and no mistake. I'm leaning, just, towards Simpson, more because of home advantage than anything else.

Zoff-Diaz is interesting as well, Zoff is now 39 and he was stopped last time out by Levander Johnson so what does he have left? Diaz is an undefeated Spaniard fighting at home with nothing of real not on his slate...i was tempted to back Zoff on experience but went for Diaz on points.

Gone for Diaz on this one, If Zoff had alot left he should have beaten the Johnson. Don't want to sound harsh given what happend, but how Johnson got the title shot was beyond me.

You got it Chris, Morris is Manchester, but he is the Sports Network Fighter and I assume he will be in the 'home corner'

Morris was my pick for young boxer of the year, really like his style, watched his last fight against Coveney, was very impressive, seems to be setting down on his punches a bit more and getting more power into them.

I think Morris will have that bit to much, movement, punch variety and pace for Simpson, i expect it to go the distance with Morris winning.
