    These two are fighting in a few weeks. Just watched Castle's last fight against Lee Cook, was a great little fight. Castle looked very good fighting on the outside and landing some decent shots to the body, he faultered a little in the 3rd round (as at the end of the 2nd he'd suffered a broken nose from a headclash) but he came back in the 4th looking good again scoring a knock down and then ending it in the 5th. What I'm getting at is do you think Castle beat Earl? also what does Earl have left? I reckon this could be a decent fight.

    Well I'm picking Castle, I'd hope so.

    I was also quite impressed with him in that fight. He looked to be in the best form of his career, really sharp and educated with his work.

    Whereas Earl...well...you couldn't possibly look any worse than him last time out. Totally caught cold and knocked out by Khan, not exactly a hugely concussive puncher. Looked like Katsidis had ruined him.

    The one to look out for in this fight could be Castle's chin. Shakey.

    Yeah agree Castle's chin has sometimes looked dodgy, that could make this a really exciting fight though. And yeah Castle looked exceptional in that fight, kept his head and got the job done.

    Earl is shot to **** and should concentrate on his corner work and coaching instead of fighting, hate to see him getting in a bad way. Castle is a decent level domestic lad, seen him on sky a few times.

    Its on the undercard of the Napa fight, Sky (friday fight night) usually show the main undercard fight in full also, but Olusegun is on the undercard too so they'll probably show that in full, but i'd expect atleast highlights of the Castle/Earl fight and if the Napa or Olusegun fights end early there'll be more chance of them showing it in full.
