With two fight cards, one in the US and one in the UK I reckon this could be the best boxing weekend of the year so far.
I'm looking forward to seeing Paulie Malignaggi make his return but the show stealer, at least in the US is going to be Powell vs Ishe Smith.
How do you guys see this one going?
Sechew is probably the stronger of the two but he lacks skills and I've got a feeling that Ishe will rise to the occasion and box Powell's head off for a wide UD.
But if Sechew catches Smith what then?
Berto takes on Contender 2 star Bravo in what should be a pretty entertaining beat down. I reckon it will go about 4 or 5 rounds but I'd like to see Bravo do well.
Over here in the UK I reckon we are going to have the fight of the night when Graham Earl takes on Katsidis. Katsidis boast an almost 100% KO record and is unbeaten whilst Earl sometimes chooses to block punches with his face so this one is just set up to be a slug fest.
I really reckon this could be one of the best British fights of the year, can't wait for it.
Audrey is fighting Sprott, an opponent who is probably better than most give credit for, but he still needs to get him out early to build on the Williams win a couple months back.
Finally Amir is up against some unbeaten 7-0 I have never heard of. Probably a routine KO but it doesn't matter, if Earl beats Katsidis we will more than likely be seeing Earl vs Khan in 2008 for the WBO world title.
All in all a great weekend in prospect!
