Smith Brothers Triple Header - 7th December - Echo Arena

Just seen that W****n will be putting on a card in the Echo Arena on 7th December with the 3 Smith Brothers defending their British titles. Paul Butler will also feature defending his British & Commonwealth.

What are everyones thoughs?

Any other fighters/fights you would like to see on the card?

Will anyone be going?

I will definately be going if the card doesn't get pulled beforehand (and thats a big IF knowing W****n haha)

 

Hope he has another show before then.

 

Might go myself but will depend on the opponents.

 

are the smiths that big a draw to sell out the echo??

price could do with getting out again quietly on an undercard

 

Paul Smith Vs Luke Blackledge

Stephen Smith Vs Sykes and Liam is TBA

Not too bad if you look at the rankings in the Super Middleweight and Superfeatherweight divisions.

 

4 British title fights on one night is never a bad thing. Something about the belt just makes most title fights absolute barnstormers!

 

A few years back when Paul fought Dodson and Quigley I think both of them fights were pretty much sell outs. But if they are all just in pretty straight forward defences then I wouldnt be too sure.

Thats not a bad shout if they could get Price a fight on the bill, with W****n signing the deal to show Maloneys fighters on Boxnation then it could be very possible, he needs a fight to get his confidence back again.

Paul Butler brings plenty of fans from Ellesmere Port and if Price was on the card too then he would sell plenty of tickets.

 

Paul wants to get blackledge out the way then he's aiming for a world title shot. So he just said on the radio

 

Joe Selkirk is also on the bill.

 

Paul Smith is very underated imo

had a bad night againts degale and walked into that shot againts groves.

however i do feel he should be down at 11st 6

 

do you think thats it for wazza this year or will he try and get a london show on aswell in december

 

The programme I bought at the Copper Box show on Saturday advertises another Copper Box show for the 30th of November.

I might go to the show at the Echo but I'll wait until the running order is released the week of the fight to decide; if it's going to last until the wee hours like his shows recently I won't bother making the trip.

 

It will sell around 4k tops. Ringside 150, 100 70 50 and 40.

 

Frankie Gavin and Chisora will be back out in December.

There be at least one more show.

 

What Liverpool lacks is a mid sized boxing venue I think. It usually goes from the Olympia which is about 1,000 seats to the Echo which is an 9 - 10,000 seat arena.

Did anybody go to the Price vs ***ton/Skelton fights at the Aintree Equestion Centre? I think thay done about 4,000 in there, but I've never seen any boxing in there before or after those fights.

I know when Bellew fough McIntosh at the Echo they only used the bottom tier seats. But suggesting by the multiple prices for this card I dont think this would happen here.
