    Beforehand, I was only really interested in Chelli vs Sims, but I am pleasantly surprised.

    Before the cut he was settling in nicely but Riley still looked a little sharper to my eye.

    I forgot this was in Chelli's hometown. I think Chelli's defense is as good as Sims, they're both low output, they both have solid whiskers, they're both risk averse. Which I think may possibly play into Chelli's favor tonight, especially in his hometown. Because Chelli can give the impression he's doing just enough o win and he is far more effective on the front foot than Roamer. So.... I'm leaning Chelli SD now. God, I hate this match.:lol: But that's why it's so good.

    I think Tasha Jonas seems a good pundit but only criticism is she seems to be overly grateful to be in the position. Can't blame her she only started boxing after Stephen Smith and David Price won gold in the 2006 Commonwealths but she is a world champion and her opinion is valid and worthy of the position she is in.

    Do you reckon Hearn failed Simms Jr like Shalom alluded to(similar to how Michael Hunter feels) or is it just a difficult style to sell?

    All my working colleagues don't understand why this should be a good fight. They've been telling me all week that Sims is easily outboxing Chelli.

    Whatever.... it's closer to Chellis hometown than Sims.

    Chelli is from Fulham and Wembley is his closest arena I think what what he meant?

    His point was it gives some sort of home advantage but this is not the case in London it's just slightly more convenient. If the fight was at Earls Court I would agree but it's not it's in Wembley. It's not the same as Warrington fighting in Leeds for example.

    Round 1: Chelli 10-9

    Both fighters go there have a relaxed style. Chelli landed some nice jabs.
