    Who you reckon? I know Buckland sparked Sykes out in Prizefighter but I think Sykes is a little too classy for Buckland and was just caught cold more than anything.

    Buckland will force a late stoppage, he will just keep coming at him and Sykes wont be able to keep him off.

    I think that Gary Sykes will beat Gary Buckland over 12 Rounds...:yep

    A British Title Fight and Prizefighter are poles apart...:yep

    Cannot take anything away from Gary Buckland for his KO win, I fancy Sykes in this fight, I think that Sykes will out work him from Round 8 for a UD...:good

    I was impressed with the way Sykes dug in and got past Carl Johanneson so I expect him to grind out another win here. Should be a good one though :good

    Buckland for me, Sykes was in a lot of trouble by a very over the hill Johanssen, Buckland will keep it close knowing he has the power.

    Buckland. Skyes cant keep him off and he struggled against a washed up Johannson.

    Either way, I'd love to see Paul Truscott get the winner. The Kid was good, won a commonwealth at 21 and then got unlucky with those cuts v Simpson. He deserves a break

    Dont aggree with that.
    he went down in the 9th i think it was,and got staraight back up.
    3judges gave it 4,3 and2 rds to sykes. i had it 4. so imo he wasnt in a lot of trouble.
    buckland is good at what he does but is limited in boxing skills and mind.
    sykes UD,
    prize fighting isnt championship boxing. same as t20 cricket isnt test match. same sport different game.
    geoff boycott is on anybodys all time greatest test match cricketers. would he make a t20 side.....doubt it!!:good

    buckland has the upper hand alround, except how well he makes the 9.4 limit, if the fight goes past 6, and hes been drained on the scales, he'll be outpinted, other than that sykes will get well beat as his style and power have nothing to stop buckland walking right through him like last time. Buckland before 9.

    Sykes will win this. I have a feeling Buckland will think that he can just go in and spark again.

    Sykes will have to go through hell to win this! Buckland TKO 10-12.
