    Anyone got any strong views here on this fight. I actually think Dolan wins this fight on points and there are some decent prices about as a couple of firms have prices up and make Norton 1/2 favourite and Dolan 6/4 with Dolan 4/1 on points.

    I have taken some of the 4/1 pts for Dolan and that is into 10/3 now and the outright down to 5/4, still thinking of going back for some more.

    I know Norton is a very awkward southpaw but he is hardly the busiest and Dolan's lack of pro experience should be negated by his many many amateur bouts somewhat.

    Just think he could nick the rounds that Norton does bugger all in and whilst I accept Norton punches hard enough to hurt him, he survived some rocky moments against the heavies in prizefighter so I don't think his chin is that bad and he looks in awesome shape back down at cruiser to be fair.

    Views lads?

    Like Dolans chances at Cruiser... he's a good, well balanced fighter.

    I'll probably take Norton, as much as I'd prefer the young blood to come through.

    Dolan is very textbook. I see Norton's style confusing him.

    I think Norton, he's too awkward a fighter for Dolan imo, think it should be a good one though.

    Going to this one looks a decent undercard, a lot of the Wednesbury gym lads on there, Mutley, Dean Harrison etc.
