In Sheffield there seem's to be a good fight card, Warren take note this is what fight fan's want a good
card, can't wait a good nights entertainment I hope.

The packed card for the night includes:-

5.40pm Jordan Gill v Kristain Laight
6pm Sam O'Maison v Johnny Greaves
6.25pm Ryan Taylor v Ibrar Riyaz
6.55pm Scotty Cardle v Karoly Lakatos
7.25pm Lee Purdy v Chris Johnson
8.10pm Gavin Rees v Derry Matthews
9pm Kell Brook v Carson Jones
9.45pm Kerry Hope v Proksa -Kal Yafai
10.20pm Ryan Aston v Valentine
10.50pm Rocky Fielding v Ferenc Hafner
11.20pm Rhys Roberts v Davies

It looks like there is some real needle between Jones and Brook and we could get fireworks. Does anyone know if it is an IBF eliminator then? or will the winner of Alexander Bailey not have to face whoever wins tonight? Rees looked as good as I have ever seen him last time out and I can see him stopping Matthews with those body shots, Proska may well find out that the Hope fight was much more than a fluke if he hasn't prepared properly and I am interested to see the young kid Yafai who could have gone to the Olympics but narrowly missed out and has decided to turn Pro early, he has created a bit of a buzz already.

I think your right mate. Great job on the blog to.

Here we go

Sitting down to watch this, and I'll probably record Fury and watch it afterwards.

Couple of Welsh fighters in action, rematch of Hope v Proksa, and first up it's Rees v Matthews. Derry's chin has repeatedly shown itself to be fragile, I reckon Rees finishes this within the distance.

Rees was excellent in France

Locket has helped

Not a great start so far....Derry being defensive, and when combined with the reach advantage makes it tough for Rees to get in.

Aw shit...another cut :mad:

Great round.

I have Rees 3-0 (eff Jim's score)

Great 3rd

I don't think I've ever seen the protector pop up in that way. Good little fight, and hope Rees can get in more, cause he's rattled Derry a couple of times already.

Spencer Oliver - 4-2 Matthews? WTF!!!

No way is this going 12. Rees should be finishing him off, and Rees was all over him for the last minute. Matthews has improved in terms of his durability over the years, but he's got very little left.

Saved by the bell ?

It's only a matter of time now.

Not a bad fight and funny looking ko lol

Great finish from Gavin Rees...and he knew it was all over and was celebrating before Foster even started counting. Good finish from Rees, and they say he's been promised a shot at one of the alphabet belts.

Cracking little fight.

Rees is my current fav fighter ($$$)

The odds on a Rees KO couldn't have been particularly generous, I would have put the house on it.

Ha! Thought he would deliver. Surprised you don't collect your winnings in sterling though;-)£££

See Sharpe is carrying Brooks belt in.

Or whatever his character is called in that ghey Game of Thrones thing

Go Brooks Go

So hope Brook can drag something unexpected out of the locker to KO cocky Carson now.

They were generous depending on what you consider "value" - 11/8 (best today 6/5)

Any odds against I thought was a great bet.

Talk about having your excuses prepared with that message, or is he trying to double bluff?

One does not simply carry one's own belt into the ring.

So is the proska-hope rematch after this? Thought this was the main event?

Thanks, I'm just used to the main being the last fight that's the one I'm looking forward to since the first was a cracker. This looks like it'll be a easy one for brook unless jones pulls a rabit out of a hat
