    Bad style match-up for Purdy I feel.

    I've still not seen him vs Watson yet, how did he look?

    Jennings was bloody awful against Brook and hasn't fought since..... with his constant moving/running and low output within any sort of range I don't think he's particularly judge-friendly.

    He was getting outboxed against Watson, IMO losing all four rounds although he did have some sporadic success with the right hand (which obviously worked a treat in the 5th :yep). Watson was boxing on the back foot for the most part, so I don't think it bodes well for Purdy against Jennings.

    If Mikez is sharp he wins this. Purdy has evolved into a really good fighter but this might be a step to far.

    Jennings was due to be Craig's next defence as well. Hopefully Jennings wins and they can get it on. :bbb

    Jennings wins this I feel i wouldnt say Purdy's was a lucky punch because he had had some success going forward but you got the sense he could only do that 3 times out of 10 agaisnt Watson.

    Jennings is a good fighter the Brook fight was a shambles. I dont think Purdy will deal well with the movement but he will bring the pressure regardless. Its a good fight nice to see the title active

    Fair play to him i say it was only 4? rounds against Watson not too exerting. I thinks its about right that he gets straight back in there strike whilst the iron is hot.

    If he beats Jennings he has a good chance of getting the Lonsdale outright and challenging Magic Matt for the Euro for big £££. Ok well maybe not the last bit but I admire the way he is going about his business.

    Hi really hope Mick can get a run again in the next twelve months.

    Good fighter. Jennings v Pryce II I'd like to see.

    Jennings was meant to fight Gary Macmillan in a british title eliminator on the undercard of Burns's last defense but Jennings pulled out injured. Why is he being rewarded with a title shot after failing to box in the eliminator?
