Good to see you back Rhun...

Top stuff.

Upperhand to Simpson here I think he's fought the better opposition of the 2 and I think it will show in the fight.

Just as an addendum to my original post, the action gets underway 10pm UK time, so in around four hours from now. European time means it will be starting around 11pm, and for the US, here's a little something Killersheep taught me:

5pm EST
4pm CST
3pm MST
2pm PST
1pm AKST
12pm HST

Thanks Greg....

I must admit, I really like John Simpson, he's got loads of heart and he'll keep going until he's got nothing left in the tank, but I think his lack of power might be the factor here tonight. Truscott's a good boxer, and will try and stay behind the jab, which was decent for him against Akaba and try and avoid getting into the kind of battles that Simpson's well known for. Truscott on points is how I've called it, but he'll be in with his toughest opponent so far, and now doubt it'll be the first time he'll have fought a come-forward fighter of Simpson's caliber.

Okay folks....the beer is filled, the glasses are on and the first Friday Fight Night of the new year is about to start on Sky Sports 1. The action I'm sure has already been well under way in Middlesbrough, and the action will be under way shortly.
