    Could be a good match up - both coming back from recent losses, my money would be with an Anthony win inside the distance...

    It is a good fight. The BBBofC are hooking us up with some good bouts. It is time for Small to learn from his loss.

    i don't think ww suited takaloo. but then again i don't think he's the same fighter at sww either.

    i think small should be the hungrier of the two fighters, and will be absolutely desparate to get back into contention for a shot at one of the bigger domestic fighters.

    i do hope he's learnt something from his loss and show some of the form he did in the earlier rounds in that fight.

    Its his attitude more like.He really thinks his that good.If he learnt to take his trade seriously stop all the smack talk and bad RJJ impressions he`d at least make his way to fringe world status.Right now his way more style than substance.With his hand speed and decent power he should beat Tak handily.but Tak still has the equaliser.His seen better days and his drop to 47 hasnt made a blind bit of diffrence imo but he can still bang.

    It looks good on paper for both men. Im no fan of either, I find Tak boring an he looks past it and Small is one of the biggest dickheads in the sport.

    I would pick Tak even if he is just 1% of the fighter he was awhile back.

    As a Liverpool fan Tak will always have a place in my heart for knocking out a fighter who came into the ring in a Man United shirt.:good

    Takaloo is pretty awful, especially now he is shot.
