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.

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.

[Beanz]

Rees was excellent in France

[Beanz]

Locket has helped

[superheavyrhun]

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

[TigerFan]

Aw shit...another cut

[Fenster]

Great round.

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

[Beanz]

Great 3rd
