Top Month :good
October 9:
Nathan Cleverly v Courtney Fry - Not seen enough of Fry to really give this one a good go.
October 16:
Jason Booth v Michael Hunter - I think Booth will take this probably by KO, Booth has showed he can mix it up well at this weight. Hunter has looked a shadow of himself recently and i think this will be his send off.
October 23:
Jamie Moore v Ryan Rhodes - Moore TKO Rhodes is really going to have to return to form. Hopefully the long lay off won't effect him to bad. I think Rhodes will stay away the early rounds but Moore's body shots which have looked great recently will wear him down and finish him late.

Huge step up in class for Moore. I think the gamble will be too much for him.

Expect Fry to start slow, figure his opponent out and give Clev the toughest fight he's had so far, but not do enough to take the points win.
Clev UD (but a close one)

Rhodes doesn't want to back him up. Moore always struggles with awkward classy fighters.
Rhodes is by fat the best fighter Moore has faced.

Moore has youth and form on his side but compared to his recent opposition Rhodes is soo bad for Moore.
I think if Rhodes can perform to his best then this could be very very hard for Moore. Rhodes is not going to stand there and pick up his cash.

Nathan Cleverly v Courtney Fry cleverly ko think he punches too hard for fry expect it to be competative for the first few rounds though
October 16:
Jason Booth v Michael Hunter booth ud,too slick and in the form of his life at the minute
October 23:
Jamie Moore v Ryan Rhodes moore tko, expect im too have too much firepower for rhodes be good for a few rounds though till moores bug bodyshots take there toll
Gary Davies v Ian Napa davies ko, punches to hard at the weight and dont think napa punches hard enough so gary will just walk through him
October 30:
Kell Brook v Michael Jennings brook tko, punches too hard for jennings
Tony Quigley v Paul Smith, tough 1 but im going for smith tko, quigley has a habit of going missing in fights and i think if he does against smith then it will be lights out
comments welcome lol

This is a coin toss for me. But really depends which Quigley turns up. If he fights the same (and is in the same condition) as against Dodson then it's Smith UD for me.
Dont really see Quigley getting stopped to be honest. Granite chin and fairly tight defence so I reckon he'll last the distance. It's all about how active and aggressive he is.
Going out on a limb, I'll say Smith UD but with the caveat of if Quigley turns up this will be a great, great fight!

I can see Jennings winning also.
It's a massive step up in class for Brook - even though Jennings isn't particularly dangerous.

I am one of those. And it must be said I think he can compete, not necessarily win.
Reasons for me are that Courtney is an exceptional boxer. I'd go as far as to say he's probably one of the most well schooled we've got in the division.
I like Clev and hope he can push onto world level, but at this stage we havent really seen him against a top level boxer that can cause him headaches. Wins over Oakey and McIntosh are good wins, but not really the type of fighters that would have given him a puzzle to figure out. I think Fry is a fighter that will show us whether Clev has it upstairs and/or whether his recent display of power punching is for real.
Fry's a good fighter that hasnt really been given a fair crack of the whip yet so I'm equally excited about seeing him face Clev as I am seeing Clev face Fry.
Just my two penneth worth...

Skys coverage so far has been ok since the Friday Night boxing came back some good local fights. I just hope they pick up some more world title fights from the US even if it is delayed it is better than nothing.

I have yet to see anything from Fry that shows me he is an exceptional boxer. Have seen 3-4 of his fights, never looked great and always though he was over rated as an amateur.
Light Heavyweight has been a very weak division domesticly for the past 5 years and Fry should have dominated but he hasnt.
I can see Jennings winning also.
It's a massive step up in class for Brook - even though Jennings isn't particularly dangerous.
Anyone with a good punch i would say has a good chance. I never seen Brook take a good shot but his chin is hanging for anyone to hit it hopefully jennings will clear those questions. Still think Brook will win but give us a better look at him.

Huge step up in class for Moore. I think the gamble will be too much for him.
If Rhodes shows up in excellent shape and motivated, which he should be, then this fight is a great and possibly the last opportunity for him.
I think Rhodes will perform in this one. Hope he bags a WBC shot after.
