    Of the next generation - 25 and under - Paul Smith actually stands out.

    Just from boxrec Kenny Anderson has made a good start and Scott Belshaw. No-one else leaps from the page.

    So who have you seen and has impressed you?

    If he gets his chin down when he's throwing he'll go far.

    i was hoping they'd show highlights of his fight but with the show only being 90 minutes long, I think they'll only show khan-lawton and pryce-concepcion...

    unless both fights end early.

    How much of the 90 minutes do you think will be actual boxing? After the adverts, news, weather, more adverts and endless bill**** from that twat Jim Rosenthal, we''ll be lucky to get 20 mins of action.

    sounded like he had a good debut...

    from FWs site;

    "Tony Bellew made an impressive debut in Nottingham with a second round victory over Jamie Ambler.

    Even a last-minute change of gloves, which occured when Bellew was already in the ring, couldn't put him off his stride.

    The two-time ABA champion, who goes by the nickname of The Bomber, forced Ambler to take a count within the first minute of the fight.

    He trapped him in a neutral corner before catching him with a right hand.

    In the second round, Bellew backed Ambler on to the ropes and landed around 20 unanswered shots, forcing the intervention of the referee.

    The 23-year-old is hoping to follow in the footsteps of John Conteh, another light-heavyweight from Liverpool, who won British, Commonwealth, European and world titles."

    It's very impressive that Salem beat Paul David in only his second bout , in David's 2 fights since then he has beaten Peter Haymer(former English Light-Heavy champ and Commonwealth title contender) and Andrew Lowe(former South Area Light-Heavy champ and British+Commonwealth title contender) .

    Smith & Bellew discussed back in 2007.

    At the time I had my eye on Scott Belshaw as a contender.
