Should be some good fights on it. Looking forward to Smith- Rebrasse the most. Bellew and Murray both came in overweight too. Fielding - Vera should be a solid scrap.
On a side note, Jim Watts daughter has unfortunately passed away today so he won't be on the commentry. Sad to hear that news as she was only 38.
Two good matchups.
Two undefeated young bods taking on a former European champ, that gave George Groves a serious fight - albeit getting soundly beat - and a veteran that can boast wins over Chavez jr, Andy Lee, Mora and Dzinziruk.
Be impressive if Smith does a number on Rebrasse considering the Groves fight, but the French fella showed he was pretty solid in that. He'll be open to those vicious body shots though. And, of course, if Smith struggles there goes all the hype. 13/8 to win on PTS.
Fielding has a big size advantage over Vera plus the come forward style will suit him. Never been that impressed with Fielding though. Vera might have too much for him even at this stage. Or he might be here for a few bob and think bollocks to this after getting a few good clumps. The fight doesn't go the distance is roughly EVENS.
the four scousers will win
and dont tell me murray isnt a scouser
Smith Points, Fielding Points, Bellew Points, Murray KO
i might put it on
That's a real shame considering he already lost his son at a young age. Whatever people think of his commentating he always strikes me as the last of the old school British commentators. Started when Reg and Harry were going and always carries himself well. Great respect for the game and not a bad fighter himself. Bloody cruel world at times.Quote:

Friday. Friday.
It makes no sense now I've said it a few times. Friday. What is Friday?
In terms of voice, octave, rise and fall etc I like Watt as a commentator. It's just he talks absolute tripe.Quote:

I got a funny feeling Fielding is gunna lose tonight. Vera is rough and ready and Rocky can hesitate under pressure.
Smith to get Rebrasse out of there late.
Bellew and Murray easy wins.
I'm not a Jim Watt fan, but this is awful news and my condolences go out to him.
Bellew looked muck. Cant see him beating a top cruiser.
That was horrific refereeing. Vera slips, Rocky hits him on the floor. Vera tries to get up and as he does Rocky hits him with a hard shot and scores a knockdown?
That was fucking disgraceful!!!!
The world's worst referee strikes again, how he still has a job I have no idea. Utter shite
Callum Smith slowing down big time. Too tense trying to knock the opponent out with every shot and its taking its toll on him.
