Seems very quiet a week before Fielding/Smith

It has been quiet, I couldn't believe it's only a week away. I have Smith in a tough fight, It won't be as one sided as some think. I see Smith as just a little more polished.

 

Probably just as it's been a quiet boxing weekend in general. Sure it'll ramp up now.

Really looking forward to this, it's a class match-up and should be a very good fight.

I think Smith will come through but wouldn't rule out the upset.

 

It's quiet because these are domestic fighters who have a lot to prove fighting.

 

Am going smith inside four.

 

Lots of people have the same opinion as you and are predicting the upset win for Fielding.I have not changed mine RF has come on leaps and bounds this past year....conditioning wise esp after the Adamu farce.

I haven't changed mine from day one.Smith is a talent,had one of the first published articles about him in the media and I believe he will either stop RF late or win on points by 3-4 rounds.

It is a domestic battle I am really looking forward to one not to be missed.

 

I forgot all about it - Fielding by KO I dont know why I just fancy it

 

Rocky is mad underrated and could definitely pull it off. I reckon Smith will win controversially on points though.

 

I think Smith on points, Smith however could stop him with the body shot depending on how well he takes punishment, should be a good s**** though.

 

Callum I think will stop Rocky between 8-11 rounds if his hands hold up, if they go slightly will win on points, and if they go badly he could get beat, but dont think he will. Callum has had genuine step ups against prime SMW recently and won easily on points, but Rockys step ups have been against retired fighters, and in Veras case one who was not only shot but is not a SMW anyway.

 

Smith has had all of the exposure so far, whereas Fielding has gone under the radar a little bit. Bit of needle going on between the gym's to add to the occasion, and of course they both having a point to prove. Smith is overly confident, as is Gallagher, Fielding is quietly confident, and i am going for Fielding to spring the upset.

 

Looking forward to this

Going with smith

 

Really looking forward to this. The last big young prospect domestic dust up was Groves Degale. So we have waited a long time

Im edging towards Fielding as think he has the power to stop Smith in his tracks. But as others have mentioned Smith can counter Fielding power with well times body shotscand his jab.

I Think Rocky sorry change that Michael lol best chance is to finish it in the first 6 rounds. If he doesnt I can see Smith winning wide on points or even getting a late ko.

Rocky rounds 5-6

 

Can you please explain to me why you think Fielding is the harder puncher of the two?

 

Interesting how many have shifted towards RF winning on Saturday.

With Smith he is as powerful as RF but has hand issues I am not writing him off but Smith has the edge in all departments.

For such a tall rangy fighter you would think he would look to keep it at distance.I think his inside game is where he wins the fight smothering RF and breaking him up to the body.
