    If I am being honest I could live with any of the other fights slipping other than this one.

    Although Frank my try and bill his fighter Cleverley as top of the bill for his own reasons but I think most people recognise this is the premium contest.

    I'd love to head over to this. I'm well excited about this since seeing the press conference. :bbb

    I think it will be billed as the main event. Surely be the last fight of the night. Cleverly is fighting someone most have not heard of. The Barker/Macklin fight will draw fans for both boxers.

    This fight and Brook-Jennings are the 2 I'd really like to see make it to the final card.

    Is Cleverly fighting Murat? Hope that stays.

    Jennings will beat Brook, I'm sure pf it. But I'd rather see Macklin-Barker over all of 'em.

    Also really hope Chisora-Sexton II comes off.

    Same here, if Jennings is anywhere near the fighter he was he'll be too good for Brook.

    Looks like he went to America to make something big happen but nothing happened so he had to take a step back to take 2 steps forward.

    I agree with his sparring problem. In the wild card gym he'll have hungry guys taking his head off and don't know who the **** this Macklin bloke is. More of our guys need to make trips to America or Germany to spar with hungry top quality guys.

    I think Jennings will be really up for it as well, given that it's probably his last chance to make an impact above domestic level.

    I can still see Brook backing out again though with an injured finger nail or something and facing another Bienias and padding out his record even more.

    For all the **** Khan gets for facing opponents that can't punch..... I think Brook's opponent KO % is much lower.... and hardly any of them could box either :lol:

    So I want a Manc to beat a Yorkie.... :think

    Good read. Think tickets will have to be bought for this show...

    Macklin is my favorite in that fight but Brook should beat Jennings.

    I can almost remember Jennings beating a non journeyman...oh wait no I can't.

    Well Macklin is going to need all the help he can get because I really view Darren Barker as a quality fighter and operator who has a genuine chance of going all the way.

    The promoter is saying that 8000 are done already.

    I think Barker said he is doing 2000.

    I think this is a bill that it would be best to be at rather than buy on PPV (purely my opinion)
