    Great boxer Colin but I think Paul who I watched through his amateur days would of kept the pressure on and won on points.

    Well Paul Ingle who was an aggressive come forward fighter like Hodkinson, convincingly beat McMillan and stopped him. So i see no reason why Hodkinson shouldn't be favoured here, McMillan was a talented fighter but I feel like there was something missing from him. Hodkinson for me during his short prime fought at a higher level, so overall I favour Hodkinson by UD in this match up but possibly he could score a late stoppage.

    Really mate, nice one. He comes across when I've seen him as a decent guy
    Shame his title fight went the way it did with his shoulder.

    Yeah,if he had n't been so injury prone,his career at the top would have lasted signifigantly longer.

    Great match up my feeling is Paul outworks Colin on his way to a points decision

    Gotta go with Hoko here. Simply non-stop outworks Colin in a competitive fight for a decision.

    Hoko for me. But SweetC was good but not good enough to stop PH coming at him and stopping him late on.
    Hated the way they fed hoko to SR and built it up as a great fight when the guy was not himself.
