Tom Doran got his break in Prizefighter as did Rocky Fielding who's topping the bill here with Callum Smith in what should be a cracker. Can Doran improve and develop the way Fielding has? I doubt it. Best of luck to him, as with every boxer, but should he go from this eliminator to a Lonsdale Belt clash with Nick Blackwell he'll be in trouble imo. Blackwell's a tough, strong, powerful guy who's had to learn the whole pro game on the job, the hard way, could well be the most underrated fighter in Britain right now and is hellbent on getting better and better.
