Gavin v Vassell (British & Commonwealth Welterweight)

My mind has been changing on this one daily. Gavin should win...but his entire career has been based on what he should be doing. Ed Robinson quoted Dean Powell on the Toe2Toe podcast with regard to this fight "You can't do 6 years work in 6 weeks". I fancy Gavin to take an early lead with Vassell coming into it later on in the fight. Could genuinely go either way, I could see the result being controversial. Just because I have been proved right about Gavin to many times. I edge towards Vassell by a close decision.

Gavin Rees v Anthony Crolla (WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight

Despite the age gap being on Crolla's favour, I actually think he is the going into the ring with more wear and tear on his body. Coming off the back of 3 tough title fights and the Prizefighter in the past 14 months, I think this is unfortunately another step to far for him. Rees is an all round better fighter, is hungry after the Broner loss, and Crolla is made for him stylistically. Rees to stop Crolla in the Championship rounds while way ahead on the scorecards.

Paul Smith v Tony Dodson (Vacant British Super Middleweight)

Has to be the most pointless British title fight since is started to follow Boxing. Neither man deserve to be fighting for the British title. Dodson will be completely weight drained, but Smith still lacks the power 168 and the stamina to wear a fighter down. Smith to pick up a very boring points decision.

Golovkin v Macklin (WBA Middleweight)

This was always going to be a tough ask, but when you add Macklin's inactivity into the equation, I see Golovkin putting a beating on the plastic paddy. He is the superior fighter in every department and has had perfect preparation. Macklin might steal a few early rounds but Golivkin will take over quite quickly in what will be Golovkins coming out party. Macklin to be stopped, possibly on cuts in the middle rounds.
