    I'm looking forward to Zbik-Spada for some reason. Could only find one Spada fight which was a one round blowout. Downloading a Zbik fight now.

    Zbik should win by decision.

    Really looking forward to this Agbeko-Vic fight; should be entertaining:deal

    Also hope I get to see that DeMarco kid; I really enjoyed his fight with Kid Diamond, looked like the boy had a bit of quality (still a bit rough around the edges, but something to build on).

    I don't rate Agbeko in the fight on YouTube. Looks majorly squared on, and punches very round. That trademark straight left of Darchinyan could be finding a regular home.

    I hope Agbeko is a tough mother****er in the mould of Azumah Nelson or this could be a short night I fear. If he's tough he could make it a long and entertaining night.

    I think he would have caused problems to the old Darchinyan, but the new one with improved skills and defence should be too much for a simple brawler.

    I like the look of the Aydin vs Bonsu fight. Apparently it is a good clash of styles, with Aydin the aggressor ('mini Tyson' I think he is called, or something like that) and Bonsu more of a boxer - a bit like the Small vs Hall fight.

    Can you give your analysis on this one TFFP please?

    Bonsu-Aydin is interesting.

    I think it depends on whether Aydin can succesfully push back Bonsu, make him fight off the backfoot. Not only is Bonsu less effective there, but it gives the appearence Aydin is the boss, even in his periods of inactivity. That could be important with home advantage.

    That will be more difficult than usual for Aydin, much more difficult than he found it against Ouali, Bonsu is a big, strong guy. He went toe to toe with a pressure fighter in Baldomir, but Baldomir is not really a strong puncher of course. He's probably seen better days after the beatings he has taken, yet Bonsu only just edged him out.

    I would be inclined to say Aydin wins by SD, or a very close decision but its no guarantee. It's a very high risk bet IMO, Bonsu can outwork him and maybe even has the power to hurt Aydin if his defence is as poor as it was against Ouali. I'm just leaning towards Aydin based on the types of fight I see in my head. Bonsu probably stands his ground, which suits Aydin. Or, he utilizes movement, and that is not really Bonsu at his best and won't endear him to the judges.
