    Little to beat Babic 15/2. I don't rate Babic, sky and Eddie hype train in full flow. He's also very small for a heavyweight. Does a trimmed down Little have enough to beat him?

    I really like Tom but no chance. He is 10-8 with 3 knockouts. Babic by stoppage.

    For those who haven’t seen much of him, good video here from Boxing Social giving you an insight into Fabio. Top guy

    The hype train will no doubt continue. He’s being carefully steered towards a fight with Hrgovic who can hop on the back of the growing popularity by absolutely starching Babic. Would love Little to chin him but he’s just not got the handspeed, footwork or durability to last more than 5-6 rounds imo.

    Actually looking forward to this card. Three fights were the home fighter could lose. Least likely being Babic, most likely being Benn.

    Is it me, or does Benn look quite small compared to Formella? I mean, I know Benn is quite small for the weight anyway.

    the croats creating fake beef, like the brits do to manfacture a hyped stepping stone match up. hrgovic would knockout babic out in 1 round, especially with babic's style.

    Little would actually have to throw meaningful punches to stand a chance

    Little lost to Dorian 'Dark Fruits Darch he's terrible, Babic may be a limited cruiserweight brawler but he's good enough to steamroll Tom Little

    This is post of 2020. It’s been a god awful year for all sorts of reasons including a global pandemic but this post goes some way to making it better. Thank you Lep :)

    Conor Benn sparred Brook recently. Lets just say Conor has a BIT of work to get to a world level - is the rumour from the brook camp.
