Some interesting bout coming up in January and February
I've been looking over the schedule for British boxing for the early part of the year, and there are some really interesting fights coming up over the next 6-8 weeks.
The Norton/Dolan rematch should be good to watch, a few more knockdowns, and the Renda/Samuels rematch on the undercard makes a decent opening to the year.
Napa v McDonnell doesn't have "thriller" written all over it, but Olubamiwo/Belshaw on the undercard should be an interesting but brief event, with a big KO finish.
Kell Brook will be making the step up against Krzysztof Bienias on the Sexton/Williams undercard, and although Bienias has lost both of his big fights against Junior Witter and Oktay Urkal, should be a good yardstick for Brook.
On the same card we've also got Chisora against Skelton, which will be an equally good yardstick for Chisora, who should win if he's got ambitions beyond his next bite to eat.
Macklin v Pirog rounding off February should also be decent, as Pirog has been matched fairly toughly for a 14-0 fighter.

Still pissed that it looks like we wont see Brook v Jennings.

Sky have Jennings v Kell Brooks still scheduled.
Re: Some interesting bout coming up in January and February
No doubt it would be a quality fight if they did manage to rearrange it, but I imagine for Brook it's a lot of risk v reward, as Jennings was demolished in his step up to world class, and Brook won't exactly get as big a payday as he would if he gets past this Eastern European and gets his own world title shot.
Hope it does come off though, I like Jennings, seems like a genuine guy in all his interviews, and he deserves another chance.

For what it is worth I think Kel would batter Jennings.
Re: Some interesting bout coming up in January and February
My boy Larry taking on Belshaw :) Can't wait for that one!
Hope he proves to everybody that he is progressing well towards a british title shot
Re: Some interesting bout coming up in January and February
