Sunny Edwards vs Galal Yafai
Definatley a decent fight thats flying under the radar imho , two decent exponents in a domestic dust up that im looking forward to. Edwards (22 Fights - 21 Wins (4 KOs) - 1 Loss) comes into this on the back of a dominant display against Adrien Curiel back in April , was even more impressive when you take into consideration the fact that he lost his unbeaten record in his penultimate fight in a one sided beat down from Bam Rodriguez , but i have to say i was impressed how well he came back from that and he totally outboxed Curiel. The unbeaten Yafai (8 Fights - 8 Wins (6 KOs)) stopped Sergio Olivia last time and whilst that was impressive this is a massive step up in class. Having said that though the pair know each other well having fought in the amateurs , and sparred together. Whilst Edwards went on to turn pro and become world champion , Yafai decided to stay in the amateurs and went onto take gold in the 2020 Olympics. Edwards is the younger of the pair by three or four years and as i say pro rank wise this is a massive step up for Yafai but im not expecting him to be phased by it as he is an olympic gold medallist after all said and done and hes the current WBC International Title holder , and hes a talented boxer. This has the potential to go either way tbh , but im favouring Edwards as , for me , hes the more skilfull of the pair , whereas Yafai is the heavier handed , hes gonna have to impose himself on Edwards early doors and make him work and try and force him into exchanging where he'll have the upper hand as if he allows Edwards to dictate matters then he'll be keeping out of Yafais range and out boxing him. Should be an entertaining fight and im gonna go with Edwards by decision.

Some good bouts on the Edwards and Yafai card , havent had time to do write ups unfortunatley but for what its worth i see the young upcoming Cameron Vuong beating Gavin Gwynne , Conah Walker should beat Lewis Ritson , should be a good fight this one but i think Walker wins it and very possibly by stoppage , odds on for that but rounds 6-10 give you 7/4 and id be happy with that .. Hamza Uddin should beat Benn Norman , Kieron Conway vs Ryan Kelly should be a good fight , 50/50 for me but im edging towards Conway .. three others that i havent really looked at

All stoppages so far in the pre lims .. Callum Smith got back in the saddle after his loss to Artur Beterbiev with a 5th round TKO of Carlos Galvan .. Taylor Bevan beat Greg O'Neill by 2nd round TKO , Ibrahim Sulaimann beat Marvin Solano by 2nd round TKO , Aaron Bowen beat James Todd by 5th round KO .. one more left before the main fights .. good card so far

In the final pre lim Troy Jones beat Michael Stephenson on points to retain his English light heavyweight title
Hamza Uddin beats Benn Norman on points (Got that right)
Well Vuong beat Gwynne by UD , but i dunno it was bloody close for me , and i thought that Gwynne edged that tbh (got the result right but as i say i thought Gwynne should of won that , Gwynne proved to experienced i think and made Vuong fight his kind of fight)
Kieron Conway wins a split decision over Ryan Kelly (called that one right)
Conah Walker beats Lewis Ritson , not by the stoppage though but by unanimous decision , still had the right man to win
now onto the main one

Liam Paro vs Richardson Hitchins
Looks an interesting match up this one , Aussie Paro (25 Fights - 25 Wins (15 KOs)) makes the first defence of his Light Welterweight Title which he won back in June of this year when he beat the highly touted Subriel Matias by a well deserved unanimous decision. Facing him is the unbeaten Richardson Hitchins (18 Fights - 18 Wins (7 KOs)) , and as i say this looks as if it should be a good bout. There was a lot to like about Paro's win over Matias who had the reputation as the divisions boogeyman tbh , whilst Hitchins is coming off a somewhat controversial victory over Gustavo Lemos in his last fight. Stylistically this is a soild match up and like i say should be a good one to watch , Paro has very good technical and tactical prowess and uses angles well , and whilst not known as a puncher he still has a 60% knockout rate , he uses his jab and footwork to good effect and they help him to dictate the pace of the fight , whereas Hitchins is fundamentally very sound he fights defensively , high guard usually , and his 38.9% KO rate kinda shows that hes more defence minded than attack orientated. Hitchins is the taller man by around 2 inches and has quite a reach advantage which he is gonna have to try and make full use of if hes to beat the champion imho. Paro usually comes in fully focussed on the job in hand and i see him beating Hitchins with his high work rate , and heavier hands , using the angles to slip Hitchins high guard. I think Paro comes on strong and tries to make it a dog fight which will certainly play to his strengths and another thing is that i think Paro is physically and mentally stronger than Hitchins which certainly will help his cause and at the end of the day i see him being too much for Hitchins.

Saturday 7th December - Emanuel Navarrete vs Oscar Valdez
Looking forward to this one as if its as entertaining and hard fought as their first encounter back in August of last year then it'll be a proper war. Navarrete (41 Fights - 38 Wins (31 KOs) - 2 Losses - 1 Draw) comes into this on the back of the second loss of his career when losing a split decision to the decent Denys Berinchyk back in May of this year for the vacant WBO Lightweight Title , that makes him winless in his last two fights as he drew against Robson Conceicao in his penultimate fight , these fights broke a winning sequence that stretches back to 2012 when he lost his only other fight to Daniel Argueta. Whereas Valdez has won his only bout since losing to Navarette when he stopped Liam Wilson in the seventh round to take the vacant interim WBO Super Featherweight Title in March of this year. Like his opponent hes only lost the two fights to date , the one against Navarette last year and against Shakur Stevenson in 2022 , so no great shame in either of those tbh. As i said earlier these pair met last year and it was a proper battle with Navarette emerging victorious leaving Valdez' face a bloody mess and im envisaging something along those lines again if im being honest. Both of them dont mind trading which makes for a fan friendly fight , but with Navarettes' volume punching style i can see him overwhelming Valdez once again , Navarette is the younger of the pair (29 to Valdez' 33) but has more miles on the clock , fight wise , but he does enjoy a height and reach advantage which he used to his advantage in their first fight and i can see him utilising those again here. Navarette does seem to struggle with boxers with elite level skills and whilst Valdez is no slouch i dont think hes quite at that level and i think that this one will go pretty much the same way as the first , an explosive encounter with plenty of action with Navarette coming out on top , although Valdez will definatley be having his moments in the fight i feel , i just think that Navarettes overall style and volume punching will see him through to the win , although he does stop alot of his opponents he failed to stop Valdez in the first one and i think that this could be case once again , so a points win for Navarette for me in a hard and close fought bout.

Saturday 7th December - Brad Pauls v Denzel Bentley
Intriguing domestic dust up this one and one that im looking forward to watching , Brad Pauls (21 Fights - 19 Wins (11 KOs) - 1 Loss - 1 Draw) beat Nathan Heaney last time by stoppage after their draw prior to that bout which i felt Pauls had won tbh , whilst Bentley (24 Fights - 20 Wins (17 KOs) - 3 Losses - 1 Draw) arrives on the back of two second round stoppages in his last two bouts , first one was against Danny Dignam where he won the vacant WBO International Middleweight Title , and then defended that title successfully when stopping Derrick Osaze. Prior to that he lost to Nathan Heaney where he lost his British Middleweight Title , his only other losses came to Janibel Alimkhanuly and Felix Cash , both solid operators so no shame in those i have to say. Bentley was expected to beat Heaney so that loss came as a bit of a shock if im being honest but fair play to him hes come out and won his next two fights well. Im expecting a real war here and it could go either way , Pauls is good on the inside and has the volume whilst Bentley carries the better power punches and has , for me , better accuracy .. Pauls is on a high after beating Heaney and i can see him wanting to follow that up with a solid win here , whilst Bentley will want to make a statement after his loss to Heaney and to carry on his current winning streak. To me , this is a proper pick em fight as either man could take it , both will be up for it and both will be going for it , i think both are slightly short of world class but are definatley up there in the domestic and European level .. difficult to call as far as im concerned but i like Brad Pauls and i think he'll take this , whether by points or by stoppage im not sure theres always the possibilty of a stoppage with either of these two but at the moment id be leaning towards points , but im not 100% as Bentley has the power to end the fight if he catches Pauls.
