Michael Hunter aims to become IBF world super bantamweight champ tonight when he faces Steve Molitor at the Hartlepool Borough Hall.
Self confessed Skallywag and former teen tear-away Hunter (who admits to scrapping with nearly every bouncer in Hartlepool as a teenager) is heavily tipped by former IBF Cruiserweight World champion Glenn McCory to do so...
"Michael has heart and desire beyond belief,maybe that will be enough for him.If it was anybody else,i might feel differently,
If Michael can control himself at the start he has every chance.The biggest threat is his eagerness to get the job done early,
He nearly got caught out against Easham Pickering last year"
Hunter,meanwhile revealed..."I was brought up on a council estate and became a little tearaway,i had a fight a day,always against bigger kids and never once backed down,if i lost,my mum booted me back out to fight again "
"Whoever i fight will need to hit me with the stool to beat me"

Live from 10pm

Never thought Hunter was world class

Apparently Moliter has even improved since he beat Nicky Booth a few years ago.. the only way I see him losing is if he gets shafted on the scores.

Hope I'm wrong and Hunter does it.

Should be a good fight.
Im backing Hunter late on by TKO

Wrong i was
Hunter was a street brawler at the very best and Molitor look a Polished fighter..... Shades of Calzaghe imo..
Looks good Molitor and he's got a nice left counter about him.
Slick fighter.

Yeah as I said, I don't think Hunters world class, but regardless of that, he ran into a quality fighter there.
