    ive heard on the boxing grapevine this is coming of, and i suppose now that larry has gone with warren it is easier to make, i think mcdermott is favourite, though he will have to watch the improving larry especialy early on. Im going to opt for big john in a come from behind win, that will be a very entertaining and dramatic fight.;):good

    Larry has been fed bums. McDermott is a wee step up in class, this will prob be a close fight. Al go for McMuffin.

    Tough one because McDermott seems a bit shot now he was knocked down and stopped by Furys who isnt a massive puncher

    Should be an interesting fight, Larry has had problems with his stamina and doesn't look great on the inside without space. McDermott I feel is strong in both those departments will be interesting to see if Larry could rough McDermott up on the inside. I'd be going with McD on pts at the minute.

    Interesting fight (even though it could end up a very ugly matchup) and just the right step up for Larry,

    Larry is obviously dangerous for the early rounds, the question is how good is his stamina and how much can he deliver in the mid to late rounds.

    50/50 fight imo.

    Olly knocks him out cold, IMO.

    As has been stated here, though - the longer it goes the more it favors the tubbier and less fit fighter...go figure. :yep

    McDermott if he comes in focused. Olubumiwo has absolutely no stamina whatsoever.

    McDermoot would win this....Larry has beaten bums and people who were past it like Ferguson.

    I'd tip Larry to stop him before the 6th.. I think old Johnny boy could get hurt in this bout imho

    If John can weather the early storm and is up for this should be able to grab this one on PTS. He's the much better boxer IMO but Larry O has the power to cause him trouble.

    Should be a good evenly matched fight.

    I would go with McDermott,i think his experience would see him through,i would also like to see Dallas Vs McDermott in the new year to see if he could do a better job than Fury

    Always had a feeling for Larry in this one. The Skelton episode lingers in the memory a bit.
