    This one seams to be overlooked cos of Fury Chisora being on the same night but should be two good fights.

    It'll be interesting to see if Geale can take GGG out of his comfort zone as no one so far has managed to trouble him.

    Mike Perez has it all to prove so long been known as a hot and cold fighter has a big win on tv last November and then a draw last Jan where he looked really ordinary.

    Here's a piece HBO did on GGG & Geale

    I can't see anything other than a tough night for Geale. He's a likeable boxer & deserved his title win but GGG is leagues ahead in terms of ability.

    If Perez can switch it on this time it will make for an impressive bout. Good weekend of boxing coming up.

    Assuming Golovkin gets past Geale, what's next for him? If he wants an opponent with a name he's probably going to be waiting for some of the JMWs to move up.

    Yea if Alvarez came up to meet him he'd be delighted I reckon. Seems to have no interest in moving up to SMW

    Hopefully Perez has done the preparation to go 12 rounds, I always have my doubts. He is very talented (but not as talented as some make him out to be), but he will always struggle against a durable pressure fighter who can easily last 12 rounds.

    He has some of the shortest arms you will ever see on a heavyweight too

    Why would he when the middleweight division will soon be home to Canelo and Cotto.

    Canelo might actually fight him too.

    Mike weighed in at 242lbs. Didn't look great on the the scales to be honest. Jennings looks in unbelievable condition

    7lbs heavier than the Mago fight. Would be great to see him win but I think it will end disappointingly for him

    i had hoped he would be in tip top shape working with Adam Booth but not sure how long they had together.

    Hopefully he'll do the business.

    Perez is a solid outsider in the bookies? I thought it would be closer than that?

    Total banker anyway. This is like Rigo v Donaire all over again.

    Smoger is probably the best in the business these days.

    Fingers crossed for Mike, someones O has got to go. I've thrown a few quid on after the boys in the studio said it. With Mike we'll know what kind of form he's in after a round or two.

    I think he can. 10 rounds will be to his advantage, just hope he doesn't gas out. Don't rate Jennings.

    It's a 12 rounder which is a worry.

    Not much in it so far

    Ive Perez winning the first three but they're close rounds. Ive a feeling the american judges will have it otherwise.

    Yea you'd suspect the flailing arms by Jennings will give them a reason to score it for him

    I don't want Perez to get gassed but you feel Jennings would get dispatched here if he lifted his work rate. I think Jennings doesn't like the power of these punches.

    Perez condition is shocking, cracking skills but way out of shape, he's actually fat.

    Hope he can squeeze this through but I'm fearful.

    Hard to call but gut instinct says Jennings will get it by a couple of rounds at this point

    I don't even care if he wins... His conditioning is a disgrace. Going nowhere
