Ben Hall v Carson Jones

Yeah, I haven't seen Hall either so it's silly of me to judge but I do agree - looking at the level he's been at, this is a big step up and I back Jones to win on that basis.

Hearn loves Carson Jones doesn't he. I bet those two and Rebrasse go to the cinema all the time

 

Going off hearns ifl interview yesterday, he's challenging his fighters to either step up and take hard fights or look elsewhere (e.g FW & BT) I think there are a few Matchroom fighters which he may push out of his stable, I'm thinking along the lines of:

Brian Rose
Frankie Gavin
John Ryder
Paul Smith
Scott Cardle
Tommy Coyle
Rocky Fielding

 

I think Sky have had a word over the past couple of months about match making, I think what we will see is fighters released from Matchroom but still involved on their cards occasionally.

Hearn was quite complimentary about Frank in that interview (apart from a few barbs) plus also praising Channel 5 and hinting at a return by ITV to the sport (with Hennessy I'd presume).

As for this fight, it's a big ask for Hall at this stage.

 

I'd agree with Eddie that fighters at a certain level need to be taking proper fights, on paper though this one looks very much in at the deep end

 

I agree about not having mis matches but Rose, Coyle and Fielding seem to me they'll fight anyone. Not many terrible opponents I can remember them having over the last couple of years compared to others.

 

I expect as with all of Brooks previous world class opponents, that this novice Hall will outclass Jones.

It seems like a mismatch on paper andd Jones should win easily but maybe Brooks resume is overrated?

 

well Ben Hall is the favourite with the bookies for a reason!

maybe if you watched him you'd realise he has talent, I expect him to beat Jones, might be close though.

 

Jones is pretty good odds online imo

Walters is 5 or 6/1 depending on where you go also...

 

Well worth a go. Walters is 5/1 for the upset as well if you're feeling particularly daring

 

I saw the Walters odds and nearly jumped all over them, I controlled myself, calmed down and haven't yet but I might.

I think Walters is being seriously overlooked but it's Loma and so I understand why, Loma is ridiculously good but Walters does and will have a very good punchers chance.

 

yeah great shout. i cant see him get rid of tommy coyle even if he is losing lol.
everyone loves tommy coyle.
i dont know anyone that doesn't.
he goes in gives it his all, whether win or lose

 

Walter is good, he's real good. But I really rate Loma and think he does a job here. But at them odds, it's worth a tenner
