    Just got my tickets.

    Line up looks pretty decent and it's at the York Hall and not Crawley as rumoured.

    http://matchroomsport.com/articleDetail.asp?intArticleID=714

    Ted Bami
    Steve Conway
    Craig Dickson
    George Hillyard
    Mark Lloyd
    Michael Lomax
    Ross Minter
    Neil Sinclair

    Reserves: Andrew Ferrans, Chris Johnson

    They've priced it differently from the heavyweight prize fighter at the York Hall so the unreserved seating on the balcony is more expensive than the unreserved floor. I've gone for the balcony as it's the best place to watch at the York Hall but according to the woman on the phone there are only a few left.

    Floor: £30
    Balcony: £40
    Ringside: £75

    My money's on Bami.

    Bami and Minter are the most recognisable names on there

    I am surprised not to see Hatton jr on the list - best way for him to get a title shot after his pathetic effort against Craig Watson

    thought he was retiring after not winning, thought thats what he said before the fight.

    Bami probally safest bet. but wasnt everyone saying burton for the last time?

    Hatton had a decent win over Scott Woolford on the Rendall Munroe undercard a few weeks ago

    Interested to see how this pans out

    It's kinda very suited to the Heavies IMO, they tire quicker and can end it sooner, so it feels like there's been a full fight

    The welters will only just be warming up when the fight ends...

    Yeah I was thinking this, it could be less suited to the smaller weights, less KO power etc.

    Bami is the best name but I doubt he has it mentally to win this.
