    At middleweight (165), Degale (GBR) vs. Sutherland (IRL).

    At light heavyweight (178}, Jeffries (GBR) vs. Egan (IRL).

    Predictions?

    Egan and Sutherland have beaten their English opponents before, and will start favourite in these matches.Although I believe the Irish pair will prevail, I think these contests will be closely fought affairs.

    I'd actually have both Irish guys as favourites.

    Both have looked good so far, and both have beaten their British opponents before (especially Sutherland).

    If just one of the Brits get through I'll be highly pleased.

    Im british, my mothers scottish and my dads english and he hates the irish pathologically. The provenance, is when he worked on the construction sites of london.
    He said they wouldnt shut up, about the olde country my dad stereo types them as all as unstable, thick alcoholics. But i think the irish boys, will win both contests they seem determined and skillfull, that is all you need to be a top fighter and they have both in abundance.

    The Irish lads are far more experienced amateurs with better records head to head. They should be favourites.

    Tough call....The Irish lads looked good however the British fighters seem to improve with each fight. i'll go for Degale and Egan to win.
