    I think most people pick Brook TBH. Just that the guys who pick Jennings (myself, Flea, Beeston, Icemax) have been quite vocal about it.

    My point is there odds with the bookies are shorter becuase there boxing at home and the bookies wont get many punters going agaisnt the home fighter or for the

    Enzo vs Frenkel, Rhodes vs Konceny and Cleverly vs Murat would all be 50-50s if held in neutral ground. there all fighters at simular stages of there career or same level. The 4 fights you listed cannot compare.

    Booth vs Molitor and Martinez vs Burns are fights where a World level fighter is facing a fighters that havent been beyond domestic level. If those fights were held anywhere but thr UK you would get 5-1+ of Booth and Burns to win.

    Lacy was built up to be the next big thing in Boxing and Calzaghe was on the downward spiral. The bookies got that wrong. Tysuzu was top 5 P4P and Hatton had been fed crap.

    If you watch Konecny, you'll also see his style is completely made for Ryan Rhodes so you're fixing to lose your money with those bets. He's a good fighter but it depends who he's against because he's very flat footed. Against Dzinziruk who doesn't move a whole lot so he's okay, but Ryan Rhodes can pick angles. There are also signs Konecny has regressed as a fighter since then.

    I've got no problem with him whatsoever, but I think his style has basic flaws and that Jennings is a tidy enough fighter to find the gaps.

    I'm not a hater, a fighter has to be a REAL **** before I dislike him.

    The only one that springs to mind was Eubank when he was active. When you look back at his career as a whole its pretty decent but at the time, in the early 90s, he had a lot of years were he took poor fights and strung ITV along in a 10(??) fight contract that seemed to go on for ever.

    Thats why I don't get worked up about the Haye and Floyd fights not happening in 2010, you've got wait and see how these situations pan out and then judge them rationally from a distance.

    Still apart from Jamie Moore the best 154lbs fighter Rhodes has faced. Ryan is not exactly a 22 year old thats been steaming through everyone. Obviously theres always going to be a favourites but Koceny is more than jsut a live underdog.

    Not sure why your so negative on this card. Its quality.

    I voted for Brook vs Jennings as I think it will be a good test for Brook. I predict a late stoppage for Brook after a close first half of the fight.

    I would have voted for Gavin, but the fight wont be close
