Scheduled on boxrec, Casey must be a late replacement, havn't read the Irish thread in a while so dunno if its been mentioned. personally, I think Evensen is underrated, I may pick him for an upset should this go ahead.
Don't think it'd be an upset mate, Evensen is the favourite. Most on here were picking the Norwegian midget too.
oh really? my mistake, in that case, I agree with the majority, Evensen to win. How long has this been announced? because last I remember Evensen was scheduled to fight somebody else
A Irish poster is claiming on another thread that Casey confidence is still low from the Rigo mauling. I've gone for Evensen via a UD he's not a bad fighter at all and let's face it he's a featherweight who fought at SFW against Burns who is massive even at lightweight that was a impossible task for a guy like Evensen who doesn't punch that hard. He was decent against Burns, he tried and in build up watched a few fights of his and he was pretty good. Safe bet a UD, But if Casey has lost his edge and the short camp may cost him and Evensen could pile on late pressure and force a stoppage.
It's reported he turned down the Galahad fight : http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/boxing/galahad-set-for-wale-of-a-fight-from-barnsley-foe-1-4457618 :good
