Gary Sykes vs Kevin O'hara

What he said

Although I'd like to see how Liam Walsh gets on against higher oppostiion to fully judge him but gut instinct says your right

 

i know i coach burns,but kevin was hitting burn's arms a lot in there fight,ricky won although didnt perform that well.kevin a hard lad and i think his 12 round experience could stand him in good steed on friday

 

I like Sykes. Quite a decent little fighter and good to watch despite lacking a big punch.

This will be a tough fight for him no doubt about it. He needs to use any edge in skills early on because it will be tough late.

 

Some of you are underrating Sykes. He will prove you all wrong.

 

Have to agree with you ishy! a.b.a juniors and seniors 15 undefeated pro bouts sykes is a clever boxer and make no mistake about it thats exactly what he is!Taking nothing away from oHara though hes a class act. Sykes will also be in front of home fans,which if you remember the Morris fight.They gave him great support. sykes to win

 

Think Sykes will win a decision in this tight event O'hara is a decent little fighter took Willie Limond and Ricky Burns to the scorecards and i think they are a level above Sykes So gary should win on pts but it won't be easy he will have to be on the ball all night.

 

Sykes UD

 

i see sweet pea takin the ud

 

I like Sykes, but if he gets clocked on the whiskers by CJ he will be iced...:deal

 

Johansen has floored Sykes in sparring,thats why he has to put that ghost to rest(sykes words in an interview),however sykes has come a long way since then and CJ has gone downhill imo,i know hes back in training and apparantly doing well. i like Carl and he is well known for being a big hitter in the super feather weights,however i do feel hes left it a little too late.

 

The last thing to go is your power...:yep An ill prepared Johannsen was a whisker from getting Mitchell pulled out by his corner...:yep If he would have been on the money for that fight we would have not have had to wait for Katsidis to stop him...:yep

 

Are they?? Pretty much everyone has gone for Sykes to win.

 

I meant long term. People saying he'd lose to Foster and others.

 

Starting to look forward to this fight, not sure how it can't be a good one. Sykes works a lot, O'Hara works a lot. Also i would favor Sykes against most Brit Super Feathers outside of Ricky who he would still give a tough fight.

Tough division at the minute think Ricky got his break at the right time a few banana skins in there for him imo.

Foster, Morris, Crolla, Lawton, Johannsen & O'Hara are all tough fighters. Oh and of course Steve Barnes

Any news on Cook if he is making a comeback?
