    What do you think of this weeks fights?

    Flanagan is the favourite against Ormond, but Im picking the upset here. Flanagan is a volume puncher, who is quite open to right hands... And Ormond is strong and hard puncher. I think that he can hurt Flanagan. Should be a great fight, real war!

    Rose seemt to be good in his latest fight and Jones might be shot... Im expecting quite a one sided fight and easy win for Rose. Good matchmaking for Rose! This is just the kind of a fight he needs right now.

    I'm backing both of the favourites for no other reason that they are just a level above at this time, would be very surprised if either was to lose.

    Wacked a 10er on Jones. I think Rose doesn't punch hard enough and Jones will walk through him. He struggled v Alcine and went life and death with Maciel. Jones has came back out of the retirement and if he is anything like the first Brook fight he'll get the stoppage. End of the day I like Rose but I just think he's a Euro level fighter.

    i would expect Flanagan and rose to win, both dont carry much of a dig so expect them to win on the cards

    and why would that not be a good call, Flanagan is top drawer and should beat Stepthen handily and Brian will outwork Carson the full fight possibly even stopping him.
    I've been in against Stephen in his only loss and had Terry in my gym many times so I think I'm in a better position than you to make a judgement call don't you?

    to be fair Stephen hit a lot of arms and gloves that night and I thought Paul's won a very tight one, although I agree he's improved a lot but Terry has been the most improved fighter that's ever been in my gym, I think he will be massive in terms of size compared with Stephen on the night, also it can't see how you think Stephen could win by stoppage he's not a very big puncher, workrate very good though

    Neutral view from a German: ;)

    I think, Ormond will win inside the distance. Flanagan looks wide open, when he is throwing his long combinations. And he is standing straight up without much head movement.

    Flanagans only chance is a good chin. If he can take Ormonds punch, he is able to outwork him.

    Rose has no chance of becoming a World Champion.

    A disaster waiting to happen.
