    Find that strange when you think the likes of Rocky vs Callum and Price at his peak hype against Harrison etc didn’t.

    It’s not the best card but this real beef is certainly wetting the appetite.

    Fowler holds advantages in size and intensity but one things for sure Fitzgerald carries power until the end. He was fighting and losing to Craig Morris with about 90 seconds left before he bombed him out.

    I think he split from his trainer and went back to training with his dad.

    Fowler may have a few issues early, e'll figure him out by the 2nd or 3rd, break him down, and KO him with a body shot in 6 or 7.

    I’ve thought he has seemed out his box on many occasions hearing him talk. A lot of the twitter rants also seem like that of someone who has been enjoying themselves shall we say lol.

    As Accurate said, split with his trainer, now back with his dad. Rumours of difficulties making weight when he is small at the weight is a worry for me also

    Scott admitted to the local paper the other day that he had not been the best of people outside of the ring previously with drink and drugs (coke) but that he had left all of that shite behind.

    If you knew the area that he was from, then it really isn't that much of a surprise.

    Fair play to Scott to facing up to his demons.

    Just watched their mini gloves are off thing. Fowler was calm and composed and Fitzgerald seemed a bit rattled. Very animated and twitchy. Most people don't seem to like Fowler, I don't mind him personally, but find him much more likeable than Fitzgerald anyway. They also mentioned Fitzgerald had said something about Fowler's girlfriend, I think Fowler will be even more eager to punish him after that. Quite excited for this fight. Think it could be sheer violence.
