    Tomorrow night about 7pm on the undercard of the Sky sports event. I've sparred Steve in the past when he was starting out but in his last two fights he's struggled in both losing against Shane Gill and had a close fight vs a journeyman last time.

    Nick Campbell I have yet to watch but he has a good record 5 fights all KO wins against decent opposition for this stage of his career.

    If this Campbell really can bang the way his record suggests then I think Steve will have to tighten up his defence and be more active with his combos and footwork.

    What do all of you think?

    Campbell will win on points, he’s technically much better despite his rugby background. Steve Robinson isn’t very good to be honest. Campbell beat McFarlane last time out but that was more due to him having better stamina.

    Campbell all day long, Drago is white collar level. Should be a fun fight though good spot.

    There's a little face off of them at today's weight in. I want Steve to win but I'll be honest he'll have to show some proper signs of improvement to get the win if this Campbell is good.

    I did see some signs of improvement between his last 2 fights but he arguably lost to that journeyman last time out on channel 5.

    8/1 for Robinson to win seems a value bet to me. He’s poor but Campbell isn’t as much better as the odds suggest. the Scottish heavyweight title fight he was in a few months back was appalling.

    Didn't realise he's that much of an outsider.

    I had a feeling that was going to be a barn burner it certainly delivered. Two massive blokes with a lot of desire, little technique who both wanted it.

    Got to give Robinson credit, I wouldn't want to see him in many more fights like that though.

    Fun fight to watch. Both were rather average with no head movement or defence in general but the lack of hand speed meant you could see the punches coming.

    How would you get on against this pair? You are a heavyweight, right? How tall are you?

    I'm about 6"3 a bit shorter than Steve. I did alright in sparring with him but that was a long time ago.

    Few lads at gym I'm at like Mick Terrill who's a bkb fighter I heard has too much for him when he goes over and spars him he's good Micky though.

    Pleased Steve won this.
