    Was absolutely delighted and equally surprised to hear this match up has been made. Casey is the one with much to lose in this fight as he aiming to get the EBU belt back which he never lost in the ring. It's a bit of a shocker Galahad's team allowed this fight to happen as it's quite a big step up from his previous opponents. So both guys should be given a lot of credit for taking this fight as it's a dangerous fight for both and one they didn't particularly need to take.

    I'm pretty confident that Casey will get the win. I believe this is a 12 round fight as their is an Intercontinental title on the line. I think its just too much of an ask for Galahad to outslick the aggressive and powerful Casey. Galahad has looked impressive so far but he's had it all his own way against poor opposition thus far.

    In Casey's fifth fight, he went to Canada to fight a fellow prospect in Tyson Cave. A fighter who has a similar 'low hands' style to Galahad and with the exact same number of fights. Casey eventually wore him down to get a stoppage in the 8th and final round, and I see this fight going down a similar path.

    I fancy Casey to stop him. I think it's came a bit too soon for Galahad and I can't see Casey having much respect for his power.

    Casey I reckon. Galahad was putting his punches together exceptionally well against Ancliff, I lost count of how many clean headshots were landed, but there's clearly a lack of power. It might develop later, but of now it's a big hindrance, particularly against a relentless type like Casey.

    My money is on Galahad!
    This kid has talent, used to mixing it with the bigger men and i think he stops Casey.
    Records can be deceiving!

    I like the look of Galahad, only seen clips of him against Griffith and his last opponent. How hard does he punch Dave?

    Galahad to win on points caseys style is made for him to win nicely on the backfoot aslong as he dont get involved with him.If he tries to fight Casey he will get knocked out.

    from what I've seen of the pair of them their styles should gel nicely and this could be a cracking little fight, Casey can bang but I really fancy Galahad to win on points.

    Great to hear a good fight is being made. Didn't think this would happen.
