By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBC Callum Smith (17-0, 12 KOs) and #5 IBF Rocky Fielding (21-0, 12 KOs) both made weight on Friday for their fight this Saturday night for the vacant British super middleweight title at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

Smith weighed in at 11st 13lbs 5oz and looked like he was ready to start fighting on the spot. He didn’t look drained as I thought he would. The fighter who did look painfully thin was Fielding, who weighed in at 11st 13lbs 3oz.

DeGale picks Callum Smith to defeat Rocky Fielding

by

degale56By Scott Gilfoid: IBF 168lb champion James DeGale is picking unbeaten #1 WBC Callum Smith (17-0, 12 KOs) to defeat undefeated #10 WBC Rocky Fielding (21-0, 12 KOs) in their fight this Saturday night on November 7th at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

Personally, I don’t care who wins this fight. I see both of these guys as flawed, and I feel the same way about DeGale. The winner of the Smith-Fielding fight will still be no better off than they were before, because these guys have holes in their games that will be exploited when they eventually step it up.

It’s only the British strap that the two stork-like fighters are fighting over and not and world title at stake. But this fight isn’t about the strap so much but rather at bragging rights about who is one of the best British 168lb fighters is in the UK now that former IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch has retired from the sport.

A British Super-Middleweight Super Six Tournament

by

smith1111By Robbie Bannatyne: They say when one door closes another door opens. So while many boxing fans are mourning the loss of Carl Froch, after he announced that the George Groves fight was indeed his last gig, we shouldn’t worry too much. As there is a new band of British super-middleweights who are ready to usher in a fresh, exciting era.

There is an embarrassment of riches at 168lb, the only problem being that all the top British fighters want to be front men- none of the band will be content playing bass. Of course not all the eminent 168lb British boxers can take centre stage: there must be winners and losers in the battle for supremacy in the super-middleweight division.

by

smith1111By Scott Gilfoid: After witnessing undefeated super middleweight Rocky Fielding (21-0, 12 KOs) obliterate middleweight journeyman Brian Vera (23-10, 14 KOs) last Friday night, promoter Eddie Hearn seems to have changed his mind about wanting Fielding to face undefeated No.3 WBC Callum Smith (17-0, 12 KOs) for the British title this year.
