    I'm hoping to be in the Kings Head facing the Kings Hall from 5pm onwards chiefly so I can watch the F.A Cup and then then get over to the boxing at my own leisure, so anyone there give me a shout.

    the more i do my research on 'chop chop' the more i think this could be a lot more competitive than it looks on paper.
    he's been in with the best, although a while back now....and i'm reading a lot of the recent losses were close decisions and some could have gone his way

    I was thinking about this too, was tempted to go for a corley TKO, but he has been comprehensively outboxed by the likes of Theoplane, who I dont rate. He doesnt move around anymore, McCloskey should really look great against someone like Corley (at this stage of his career). But, the question mark over Dudey is will he stick to a game plan or get dragged into a fight again, he also took far too many shots against Prescott, so you never know. Still, I am going for a very wide points win by Dudey.

    Your right. It'll be a close enough fight IMO dunno will Paul have it all his own way. Depends if chop chop comes out in journeyman mode or comes to get the win his form has been erratic enough lately. Epic night of boxing ahead though can't wait :happy

    I think Dudey will be in for a tough night. I don't like him in with southpaws, so this could turn into a tough, messy brawl. Would like to see him switch to orthodox a few times- as he is naturally right handed. Stay on his toes, boxing and moving around. Think he will grind out a tough 116-112 decision.

    Hopefully O'Kane does the bizz as well. Not the most technically sound boxer, but he will throw non-stop for 3 rounds. The winner of his bout looks to hold all the aces, as its the toughest fight (on paper anyway) and the winner will obviously get the longest rest between bouts as well.

    Should be a great night :bbb
