    I think the answer to all 3 is Callum Smith, maybe its just me but I think Frank Buglioni is an accident waiting to happen. Not sure what it is exactly I just think that something doesn't seem right when he boxes!
     
  3. Yeah smith most likely but I'd want buglioni to win he is likeable,good ticket seller so a potential crossover star and a banger
    But I can't make up my mind on his future,he is big strong and has a great jab he also has good amateur pedigree

    Head says smith,heart says frank

    Callum Smith just seems like he has more about him to be honest. He is very tall at the weight and will dictate the fight. I can just imagine that Buglioni gets picked up and finished with them body shots Smith throws.
     
  6. Nice to see a thread about boxing and not nelson/burns/crolla/Hearn/******

    Smith for me. Has more power. Better shot selection/variation. And more exciting to watch. Buglioni looks quite laboured at times. He's a massive ticket seller in London but his style won't win many fans outside of it.

    smith bangs him out early. a 10dollar hooker is tighter than buglioni's defence.

    Based on what hes done so far no,but he does look a solid wee fighter,i wonder what weight he'll end up that may be an issue for him

    I'd agree that Smith looks the better prospect, both entertaining to watch but as has been mentioned, Buglioni's defence is non existent, the moment he steps up he's getting dropped unless something changes.

    Mitch Smith is very very good i remember his debut it was brilliant but your right his weight may be a problem as most of his fights hes been coming in 9st 9,7 and 6 and i think at 5ft 3 he is far too smalo for super featherweight but you never know he might be able to make feather as he use to do 57kg in the ams where he won an ABA's.

    This thread is a good few months old since then Callum Smith has banged out every one in a round and picked up the English belt. He previous opponent went the distance with Buglioni

    I would like to see Buglioni face Mendy for the Southern Area title

    I would like Smith to defend his English belt against Dodson. I would like Rocky fielding to fight Brian Magee instead
