    I'm going to this.
    I think most would agree Truscott is the better fighter technically, but Commey is a big strong Lightweight with a good workrate and Goodwin & his team probably fancy their chances of wearing Paul down and stopping him.
    I wouldn't be so certain about that, I think Truscott will be able to hang with Commey in the physical department and his greater skill set will see him through for the upset on points.

    Stands to be a good fight anyway, kinda disappointed Lewison vs Kenna is the main supporting bout. Even though Kenna holds a win over Lewison, that verges on 2 years ago and Kenna hasn't fought since. Meanwhile Lewison has likely improved loads and looks a decent fighter, I can only see a very one sided affair here.
    None of the other fights really strike me as standout ones (unless the return of Tom Dallas excites anyone :roll:), but hopefully they'll be a few decent scraps.

    Ya it's a shame really, as Goodwin shows are quite solid, and while maybe not up to Sky standards, they're certainly worthy of more Eurosport, and (free to view) Primetime coverage than they get.
    I think whichever fighter comes through on Saturday night will be more than good enough to test Matthews/Coyle/Crolla (who actually has first option on the Matthews vs Coyle winner despite this eliminator)

    Just looking at the running order here and I see Lewison vs Kenna isn't on anymore. While I was cribbing about the fight, I'd have rather seen it than neither man be fighting anyone.

    I'm going to this too, been to a few Goodwin shows in the past and agree with you, generally solid, is this also getting delayed Eurosport coverage?

    Possibly but I don't think so. I watched one of Goodwin's youtube videos about a month ago and he mentioned that neither this show or his show previous were going to be on tv, which I presume included delayed coverage.
    But then again that was a month ago so maybe something has changed since.
