Allez, hola, konneecheewah, and shwmae,
Welcome to another imitation of the fabulous Wacko's DRBR, but with British boxers and an inferior analyst.
Tonight is the bout for the British lightweight title, with champion Jon Thaxton coming into this one as a huge favourite.
Jon Thaxton (31-7, 16 KOs) - Thaxton has been around the British scene for a while now, and cl;aimed the British title at his fourth attempt against Lee Meager in December with a dominant decision. He's strong, tough, with plenty of stamina and is very experienced. And in front of his hometown crowd...well make what you will.
Scott Lawton (20-2-1, 4 KOs) - Lawton faces the toughest challenge here, as he tries to extricate the belt from Thaxton's grip, and after the guts and emotion from Thaxton I expect it will be over his dead body. He's coming off four consecutive wins, and is a hard worker tending towards points wins, but I expect Thaxton to be too strong.
Also, Esham Pickering v Marc Callaghan for the British Super-Bantamweight strap. Live from the Norwich Showground. Expecting entry to the ring in 10 minutes or so.
