    Last season was pretty good with regards to domestic fights, the highlights for me were Degale-Groves, Mitchell-Murray, Chisora-Fury etc.

    Two questions:

    What domestic match ups do you want to see in the new season?

    What prospects or under card fighters are you most looking forward seeing in action in the new season?

    Well fortunately McDonnell v Hall is happening early.

    Other good fights I look forward to are any involving Tyson Fury. Hopefully v Harrison, Rogan, Price, Chisora rematch etc

    Clev/Bellew is a very good domestic fight really despite there being a bauble on the line.

    Still want Macklin v Barker to happen personally and Theophane v Gavin would be a good one.

    Stephen Smith v Joe Murray
    Martin Murray v Paul Smith
    Denton Vassell v Lee Purdy

    A couple of decent undercard fighters to watch would be James Dickens, Rhys Roberts, Tony Hill and Richard Towers.

    Here is one that would slip under the radar but I think would be a great fight.

    Billy Joe Saunders vs Joe Selkirk.

  9. Any one remember Bradley pryce boxing on eurosport a couple of months ago? On the undercard there was a little scouse fighter who threw tons of punches and looked pretty useful. Anyone know his name? Wouldn't mind following him as a prosoect

    Will be the one everyone wants to see this time next year.

    You gotta think all of the Olympians should be at least British champions by this time next year.

    David Price will become mando if he beats John McDermott. Then its the Fury fight which could be huge around december time especially if Channel 5 are involved. Jeffries has looked poor at times but personally I feel there is something there and its more a confidence issue holding him back. He clearly has power. If Bellew challanges Cleverly those titles will become vacant and light heavy is not to deep domesticly. DeGale has his european title fight next month and you would expect him to push on from there. BJ Saunders is an intresting one, Middlweight is strong and many feel he should be down at 154. I would favour him to beat Prince Aaron right now. For Frankie Gavin its simple sort the weight out. If he is not a European champion at least by this time next year something has gone wrong. Theophane is a tough fight for the British. Joe Murray has looked the goods everytime I have seen him, at Featherweight I would expect him to pick up a title once Stephen Smith has moved onto a higher level.

    I'd like 135 cleared up.

    Mitchell is above domestic now so lets have Rees, Murray, Crolla etc.........sorted out.
