Jamie McDonnell-Tomoki Kameda II - Sunday/SKY/CBS. Fact.

[Fenster]

This is a Sunday afternoon show in the states (yes boxing on a sunday afternoon - err?) which means the UK get it primetime sunday night -- 9-11pm live on Sky Sports.

McDonnell is the most underrated fighter in Britain. Yet again this past weekend his form was upheld by Julio Ceja chinning Hugo Ruiz. British, Commonwealth, European, IBF, WBA and would have been WBO champion had Komeda not been stripped before their fight. Very disputed loss to Lee Haskins (if the fight was a 12 rounder Haskins would have been lucky to get to the line). But that's the now irrelevant past anyway.

Kameda's mob have immediately exercised the rematch clause so are obviously confident of turning the result around. Kameda has "home" advantage again.

McDonnell says he will win easier this time as he knows what to expect. Kameda - who believes he won last time - said he will win easier this time as he knows what to expect (plus has a new corner).

The first fight was close. McDonnell did well to comeback after getting dumped on his arse. I don't see why McDonnell can't replicate what he did in the first fight, beating Kameda with his jab, range and tremendous workrate. Although I also wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit like InJin Chi-Brodie II, where it wasn't the Brit that improved for the return (Kameda is certainly no Chi though).

Unsurprsingly the bookies make McDonnell the underdog.

Kameda - 4/6 (generally)
McDonnell - 6/5
