    Buglioni is a ticket seller and nothing more. Sold over 600 for Saturday so there is absolutely zero chance of him being dropped by ******.

    Saunders Ryder - Tough one to call, Ryder has that lovely aggressive counter punching southpaw style, puts his punches together well, mixes body to head very naturally. But Saunders is all class, if he can get that right hand going early he might discourage Ryder mid rounds and take the victory on a sweep of the last few rounds. Saunders, close-ish decision for me. 115-113, somewhere there abouts.

    Chisora - Gerber - I just think Chisora is going to carry momentum from his last fight. He's been competitive at world level while Gerber has beaten nobody, and I think this is Chisora's big chance to right his loss for the European belt last time. Chisora mid round stoppage.

    Gavin Barnes - Gavin all day for me, mid round stoppage. I think the Vassell fight is the win that's really going to kick on his career mentally.

    Walsh Murray - Going by recent form Walsh for me, comfortable on points if not a late stoppage.

    Butler Gonzalez - Can't find ANY footage of Gonzalez, but I really think Butler is the business, does the basics very very well and is huge at the weight. Must be getting his man strength this past two years because he's been on a very good run of stoppages as of late. Butler stoppage rounds 4-6

    Positive you weren't looking at the lightweight Miguel Gonzalez?

    Yes it's definately the Chilean Super Flyweight Gonzalez who Paul Butler is facing, the clip was only a minute long with him against a bum but i saw something in his style and technique that makes me think he could well be a surprise package and better then expected. Also he does seem to be somewhat of a 'star' in Chile which i guess isn't hard when you're one of the very few Pro Chilean boxers.

    His fight starts at 5mins 30secs

    This is him on some Chilean sports program.

    He leaves his chin very high in the air that boy... Looks to have good speed and good pop all the same. Decent footwork. Still think Butler has his number though.

    Agreed but doubt Butler has ever faced a style like Gonzalez and the chilean looks quick and big for 115lbs. Also he's a 4-1 underdog so could be worth a small bet, either way it's one of the fights on saturday i'm looking forward to most.

    Some footage of him training, looks like he'll be in good shape for Butler fight.

    Buglioni's opponent Bronislav Kubin does seem a small step up from his last one and has a decent record for a journeyman so you might be right.

    Frank has some potential but is still very raw, as someone mentioned though he's a big ticket seller so will be very carefully matched to a British title run.

    Dereck Chisora weighed in at 235lbs for his European title fight with Edmund Gerber which is the lightest of his career. Can't find a video of the weigh-ins for the Copper Box show but will put them up as soon as they're online.

    If Chisora keeps in this kind of shape over the next 2 years he'll give any heavyweight out there a tough fight including Wlad Klitschko.

    It's great all the Copper Box arena fights announced will actually happen and no drop outs.

    It's a stacked card from top to bottom, looking forward to 4 or 5 of the fights especially BJS-RYDER, CHISORA-GERBER and GAVIN-BARNES.

    Like most of your picks except the Miguel Gonzalez vs Paul Butler one as i still think that could be the shock of the night after doing some research into Gonzalez. I'll still go for Gonzalez by Split decision in the fight of the night.
