    I wouldn’t describe warrington as a Gentleman, seems to have more than a bit of yob in him to my observant eye.

    UNLESS he is simply playing a role to garner the support of the self confessed and proud yobs of Leeds united, which is also entirely possible.

    He seems to have a nasty edge about him - no doubt which has played a huge part in his meteoric rise over the past year or two.

    I want to pick Galahad in this one but I’d be a fool to back against the man with all the momentum in the world behind him right now. Another Warrington win, probably via points and the journey continues.

    But he ain’t a gentleman for me, sorry.

    They've been pro for the same period, but look at the gulf in competition that they've faced. Warrington has consistently stepped up his opponents now for 3/4 years, whereas KG hasn't. Can't see past a one sided fight. I'd have picked, even knowing what I know now, both Selby and Frampton to beat KG and I can't see why Warrington won't either.

    U local to Dudley mate or just went to the show.
    Yeah I've followed Josh ever since he beat Chris. Was lucky enough to have a chat in the changing rooms with Josh and Sean top lads .

    No he didn't...sim0ly because both Selby and kid laid down the gauntlet of abuse. It was them that started with the negative comments, Josh simply obliged them. That's why he never had no beef with Carl or any of his other opponents, they all acted like gentlemen.

    Really looking forward to this. Warrington is a terrific fighter, especially when he feels he has something to prove. Throughout every step of his career, he’s always had something to prove and has had to listen to the doubters. For the first time, the majority are behind him. This can either make you feel a little more complacent or drive you on to not let your standards drop. I believe it will be the latter with Josh.

    Kid is a very skilful fighter, switch hitter, great feet, picks his shots...remind you of anyone? Warrington has been in with lads like this, Selby in particular was a skilful switch hitter. Warrington and his team know what works...I don’t believe there’s anyone on Kid’s resume that’s prepared him for Warrington. Kid is hungry, and desperate for an opportunity like this, I just think Warrington will out work him and will adjust quicker than Galahad with the experience he has.

    Warrington by decision.

    You're probably right, but he hasn't had to demonstrate it walking forward and pasting the Reynaldo Mora's and Cayetano's of this world. I just cannot see him walking into range, slipping shots and staying in the pocket with Warrington, I don't think that works for him. IMO He needs to be on the back foot, constant side to side movement, throwing to offset Warrington's rhythm.

    Yeah Ingle fighters are usually good at that, but I've never seen it from Galahad.

    I still feel like Warrington is being underrated. He is an absolute beast.

    Warrington has slated Galahad for barely saying anything!
    Warrington acted a prize tool at the press conferences for Selby and Kid G (both in Leeds).
    He was much quieter in Manchester for Frampton.
    Perhaps if Selby and Kid G had huge followings of Ulstermen, Warrington would have kept his mouth shut again.

    Nothing to do with ulstermen. Selby and kid both started it, it's that simple doofus. I don't know if you've noticed but Josh has fought more than Lee, Carl and kid. He's never had issues with anyone else.
    Like I said, it's simply because Lee an kid started it Josh is retaliating thats all.

    If the Champions League final goes to extra time and penalties, and the penalties take 2 weeks to complete then maybe
