    Another great fight this weekend as Wardley and Clarke go at again after there first fight was a draw.

    I really enjoyed the first fight and been looking forward to this one. Who do you thinks got this one?

    Wardley has another gear or 2 more than Clarke. I think he gets the job done by KO in the later rounds

    Got to go for Clarke after showing far better boxing ability, badly busting up Wardley, winning the first fight but stung by 2 rotten judges on the cards.

    The 115-112 card in favour of Clarke was correct and I think we see more of the same.

    The only thing going for Wardley in this fight is his huge heart.

    Big Fraze on points for me but I would not be surprised if Wardley is retired by his corner in the late rounds.

    I think this time around Wardley will get going earlier in the fight, and stop Clarke later on. There is a tad of wishful thinking in my prediction however.

    I think there will be a good variety of opinions here, because it was a cracking, close scrap last time.

    I'm going Clarke, having backed Wardley first time out. Just think that now Clarke has finally faced a decent opponent, he can use his amateur experience to turn the rematch to his advantage.

    Clarke on points.

    For me, a Wardley win will inevitably mean a more exciting fight, so won't mind at all if all the above is wrong.

    Clarke by late stoppage for me. For me he won last time and busted Wardley up pretty bad. In the face of tv thing it looked like Wardleys nose cut hadn’t properly healed.

    I’m stoked for this fight and can hardly wait! First fight was great, and I expect fireworks in the rematch. I honestly can’t pick a winner in this one though, and I like both fighters, so may the best man win!

    Wardley late stoppage.
    They gave us a cracking first fight, lets hope it is a repeat.

    Honestly, can't pick. Very competitive fight.

    Think if Clarke gets behind his jab, he makes this a lot easier. His fundamentals are far better than Wardleys, but it's Wardleys unconventional explosive style that drew Clarke into gunslinging last time out.

    This time I think Clarke boxes sensibly.

    Probably totally wrong though!

    Could genuinely go either way this fight which is good to watch as a spectator.

    I do feel that Wardleys nose is going to again become the center of attention Brian Rose style.

    Put it this way, neither fella will have to go looking far to find the other.

    Put me on the spot, I'll say that Clarke nicks a S/D.

    Wardley KO as he won’t have an off night this time around.

    An off night?

    These Wardley fans must be looking forward to Saturday not knowing if the fighter that turns up is Marvelous Fabio Wardley, Iron Fabio Wardley, Fabio Thunder Wardley or Smokin Fabio Wardley.
