    Full Wood-Lara card:
    Smith-Allington, Cully-Flores, Yafai-Ruiz and Clarke-Spelman.
    Better than I expected actually. Thinking I might head down for it. A bit disappointed it's not Smith v Eubank as the co-headliner.

      Yeah it’s poor choice of opponent for Smith but admittedly there aren’t that many options. I’m tempted myself, was at the Wood-Conlan fight last year and it was one of the best fights I’ve ever been to, love Nottingham Arena, think it always generates a really good atmosphere.

        Really like Clarke-Spelman. Alberto Ruiz is decent as well for Gafai. Cully’s opponent isn’t up to much. Hopefully Allington is just a warm up before a better opponent in a British defence when Dalton headlines in Sheffield.

        Reckon the Board would’ve been hesitant to accept Allington? He did win the English to be fair, but his record looks shocking.
        I think the English title makes him credible enough for the board to sanction it. As you say, if Smith’s back out in following few months I don’t mind him keeping busy with another defence of the British title.

          Hearing the Ritson-Davies card is in jeopardy and that Probellum may be done altogether. With no TV deal the writing was on the wall tbh.

            Probellum website is down too. Definitely curtains for them. I wonder where Sam Jones will go? He was good at S-Jam and dare I say a good talent scout too.

              He’ll probably continue managing fighters I reckon. Could possibly see him working with Lee Eaton at LGM.

                Denzel Bentley vs Kieran Smith is in the works for the British Middleweight title.

                    This'll be a fun scrap, Lawal should be too much for Chamberlain.

                      Yeah like that fight myself. Could see it turning into a bit of a war.
