    Yeah, Walsh is talented, I'm not seeing much improvement in his last few performances though TBH.

    I'm not convinced he has the chin to go the distance with Buckland.

    Stephen Foster Jr is a good fight, former Euro champ, former British champ, mixed it up with top names like Arthur, Simpson and Derry.

    If Gary comes through that then he can look to a Euro fight.

    Buckland is winning convincingly but there are still areas for him to improve on so it is in his best interests to not rush to the top.

    Your joking, right?
    Buckland even said himself "im not a big hitter" he gave a gaunt truscott the best he had and never got anywhere near knocking him over never mind out.
    Walshes chin was ok in the fight against appelby i cant see why it would let him down against Gary .B.

    Oh dear.

    Appleby who wasn't even a puncher at Featherweight had Walsh hurt badly hurt a few times, Buckland has solid power, add to that a great engine.

    Buckland hits harder then Appleby IMO.

    Gary v Paul would be exciting both punch quite hard but i think Paul would beat him soundly

    I can't see anybody at domestic level beating Buckland "soundly".

    I think it was more lack of boxing skills (mainly defence) that restricted John Murray though as you say a bit more pop in his punch wouldnt have done no harm

    Billy i just dont see that happening, buckland has improved alot. when it comes to form Bucklands way ahead of Paul, punchers chance is all i could give Paul.

    Well Paul isn't a puncher, and Buckland has a very good chin.

    Not even a punchers chance.

    I think the styles of Buckland and Apps would match up well though, although Buckland should win clearly.
