Callum Smith-Erik Skoglund - ITV4/7.45pm
Skogland (26-0/12 KOs) is a lightheavy making supermiddle for the first time with some notable wins - fossil Glen Johnson, Derek Edwards (geezer that chinned Badou Jack in a round), Luke Blackledge (Smith victim) and Saddo's favourite Lolenga Mock. He has a no bells and whistles style, doesn't look very explosive in the chinners department but has an extensive amateur background.
The bookies make it a mismatch but at 10/1 (33/1 ko) i've seen fighters with much worse credentials.
Ten of Mundo Smith's 22 wins have came inside the 1st round, another three have ended before the start of the 4th, he's an especially vicious body puncher, so if making weight has depleted Skog in anyway he wont have long to wait before knowing his fate. If he's strong he might ask Smith some questions.
Smith - KO/TKO Rds 1-4 (9/2)
Smith KO/TKO Rd 1 (25/1)

He must have peaked as an all time great when he beat Lolenga Mock.

Mock is still pretty decent. Definition of a gatekeeper.

Yep round 11. Not much of a knock down though.

Smith on points. Good fight on paper but I think it'll be a cautious affair most of the way to be honest.
Re: Callum Smith-Erik Skoglund - ITV4/7.45pm
How are they working potential draws in the tournament again, isn't it something like the fighter with the most points progresses and if that is a tie then the fighter that won the last round progresses.
it is still recorded as a draw but that is how the decide who continues in the tournament I think
Re: Callum Smith-Erik Skoglund - ITV4/7.45pm
just looking at the bull shit from when they were picking the fighters, it looked very X factorish
I was just thinking that I couldn't remember seeing Callum fight for what seemed like ages, just checked BoxRec and this is his first fight in 10 months, whats up with that, has he been injured or something?
And funnily enough the first fight on the card is Luke Blackledge who was Smiths last fight.
p.s. they have just said that Smith is expected to start at about 10pm

@Master is usually lurking around by now.
Oi Master where you at? have your kids told you to fuck off to bed so they can play their PS4 in peace
Re: Callum Smith-Erik Skoglund - ITV4/7.45pm
Zack Parker just fucking sparked Blackledge
Blackledge had his hands low and his chin hanging out, Parker leveled him with a big left hand, Blackledge tried to get up but his legs were all over the shop and the ref stopped it
