    Mark Chamberlain by KO, as bad as he looked against Padley, he impressed the hell out of me against Jack Rafferty. Even though I thought he lost. O'Leary has never impressed me all that much, and beating the shell of feather fisted Maxi Hughes 5 pounds above his natural weight, certainly doesn't.

    I like Chamberlain, he looked like a real killer against Gavin Gwynne (which nobody else has done), I remember both him and Rafferty looked real good in their fight (I can't remember who I thought won tbh). I've only seen O'Leary's last fight, where he beat a potentially shot Maxi Hughes. So I'd have to go with Chamberlain, but maybe i've just not seen enough O'Leary. Should be a fun fight either way.

    Really flew under the radar this fight, it's a great fight, it depends what version of Chamberlain shows up, O'Leary definitely has something about him as well. I'm going for O'Leary on points, maybe a questionable points decision, too.

    Fantastic match up. Both have heavy hands. It's almost guaranteed to be a good fight.

    O'Leary with home advantage should be the slight favourite imo.

    I think Chamberlain at his best wins.

    Great fight. Chamberlain's a terrific Pompey lad too, if they do the rematch at Fratton Park if will be an epic event and he'll die a happy man.
