Decent card tonight in Leeds. I know a few lads going but I’m saving myself for the big one so be watching from home.
Fight predictions:
Lara-Warrington rematch. Warrington win by KO in the 7th.
This really could go either way and Lara may have his number, I just feel that Josh will be helped by the incredible atmosphere there will be and he will box smarter. I’m initially thinking him on points but he just cannot avoid a scrap he’s always in exciting fights and will want to send a message. Hope he wins either way but wouldn’t be shocked to see him get beat either.
Katie Taylor - Jennifer Han. Taylor by stoppage in round 3.
Total mismatch. Taylor is the women’s pound for pound number 1, and this is her mandatory challenger for one of her many belts.. but I expect her to send a statement tonight and get an early KO. She’s not known for KO power but if it happens it will be a barrage of punches.
Conor Benn - Adrian Granados. Benn by KO. Round 5.
Benn to make a statement and call out Amir Khan or the winner of Khan-Brook which seems likely to be happening.
Rest of the card… wins for Straffon, Bridges, Price, Bateson and Stansfield.
