    2 potentially cracking fights next Saturday, I'm having my first trip to the echo arena and can't wait for the action to start. Fancy a little double on these 2 fights but struggling which way to go. Fancy bellew on points but the other fight could go either way, what's everyone else's opinion on the 2 fights?

    Matthews Crolla should be another great fight. Can't wait for this but wish I got tickets, like you said, could go either way.

    War Derry!

    Cracking card, I fancy Bellew to beat Chilemba but Matthews/Crolla could really go either way. Wouldn't even put it past a draw.

    I was half tempted to go on a draw but I reckon it won't go the distance.

    Derry TKO again. He's too big - a huge lightweight and Crolla could still make super-feather but a great 50/50 fight!

    I think Bellew will win on points, not sure about Derry/Crolla though.

    I think Derry might stop him but be behind on points at the time again.

    Two great fights on paper and no reason why that should not translate to the ring. I can't decide on Crolla/Matthews, I just think Anthony is dragged into a war too easily and as someone above said Derry is huge and punches very hard when he gets rolling. 50/50 For me this one but surely it ends in a stoppage for one man or the other.

    Bellew beats Chilemba for me, Isaac is good but he is so open to a right hand that I can see Bellew hitting him at will and half a dozen of those each round will do some damage, chance for a statement here as I think Bellew could stop him and the yanks can't see anything other than a Chilemba win, they think highly of him and appear very confident.

    Two cracking fights really looking forward to them.

    Very good card, this is more of what we need from Matchroom.

    I think Bellew could lose. Hes good but hes been super safety 1st lately. He needs to find the right mix between agressive and smart boxing.

    Most of the undercard fights involve TBA at the moment but the 4 confirmed look very decent fights indeed.

    I think that Tony might be in for the fight of his life

    Chilemba for me.seems to have more of everything...skill..speed..quick feet..
    Would love derry to win again but I think crolla may well get his revenge as long as he boxes smartly.can see Derry not respecting crollas power and trying to walk through crollas punches trying to force a war but getting caught and hurt badly
    Going for chillemba tko and scrolls tko.
    2 ****ing quality wars here.Can't wait!!!!
