Predictions: 3 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 190 Points | Tied for 9th with 11 others
Terri Harper, DEC
Harper is a lot better technically but Jonas has good power and Harper hasn't really fought a power puncher before, but her skill should pull her through
Thorley vs. Billam-Smith
Chris Billam-Smith, TKO, R4
Thorley fought no one Billam Smith has good power and Thorley got dropped by 4-18 (13at time) Emmanuel Moussinga so Billam has a decent chance of an upset (Turns out Billam is the favourite normally in boxing fighters who are unbeaten are always bookies favourites)
Fowler vs. Harper
Anthony Fowler, DEC
looks close on records but Fowler blows Harper out the water
Fiaz vs. Baker
Aqib Fiaz, DEC
mismatch Fiaz has pillowhands
Phillips vs. Price
Hopey Price, DEC
mismatch

Terri Harper, DEC
Rooting for the fellow scouser in jonas here and hoping she pulls of the upset. However, all signs point to a harper victory. Jonas arrived considerably late to fight camp and when they arrived Joe Gallagher and Tasha seemed angry and frustrated. Press conference and face offs are on soon so will see what she has to say and how body language is about then. I just gain the impression that jonas feels like a lot of pressure is on her due to her career being on the line, and just overall doesn’t want to be there. I believe the youth and pure skill of a hungrier Harper will prevail in this one.
Thorley vs. Billam-Smith
Chris Billam-Smith, TKO, R9
Very surprised that only 16% are on Billam-Smith here. Only loss was a split decision to a talented prospect in Richard Riakporhe which isn’t bad by any means. Stopped a tough Craig Glover last time out as well. Expecting him to defend his commonwealth championship here
Fowler vs. Harper
Anthony Fowler, TKO, R4
Fowler should destroy Harper with ease here. Can possibly see a very dominant decision due to the fact that fowler said he’s hoping to get the rounds in, but I don’t think Harper will be able to withstand the power of fowler for a full 8 rounds. Hope to see a Fitzgerald rematch next
Fiaz vs. Baker
Aqib Fiaz, DEC
Step up in competition here for Fiaz against an experienced baker. Should get the win though!
Phillips vs. Price
Hopey Price, TKO, R2
Another young talented prospect in Hopey Price. Looking forward to seeing what he can deliver here

Good listen this! Figured that Gallagher is angry due to people overlooking his fighter and saying that Harper will put a beating on her. Also thinks that sky pundits, journalists etc are being biased towards Harper and that he thinks the judges will be on the night as well. He seems very confident that Tasha will be able to KO Harper. All this confidence from Gallagher and eagerness to prove people wrong is making me want to switch my pick to jonas here. Think people are writing her off in this one and basing it off tashas age and loss to Obenauf. I was completely wrong earlier saying that i feel Tasha doesn’t want to be there haha

Terri Harper, DEC
Jonas has punchers chance but seems well behind the younger champ. Side note Boxrec has terri at 5 8.5 not 5 5.
Fowler vs. Harper
Adam Harper
Take underdog hate stacked odds, brits named adam always perform better than tony.
Fiaz vs. Baker
Kane Baker
Reach size and experience advantage and neither can crack a g****. Has the making of a terrible sissy slapping contest.
Phillips vs. Price
Hopey Price
Cmon he has a medal, he gotta be good right?

@LiamWilo
Nice predictions
Thorley vs. Billam-Smith
I also see Billam-Smith as huge favorite here. Very confusing what the user of tapalogy are predicting here. They have a win of Thorely by around 76%. Strange. Thorely has never fought a good opponent in his pro career. His biggest merit in boxing was the Welsh amateur national title in 2014.
Internationally he was KOed by a boxer of Mauritus at the Communwealth Games 2014 and by a mediocore German boxer in the first round of the European U-22 Championships 2012.
Whereas Billiam-Smith has fought good opponents in his pro-career. E.g. Craig Glover. Craig Glover put on a impressive performance over the Communwealth Games gold medalist Vallily. Billiam-Smith has only lost against the unbeaten Riakporhe, who is now 21th of boxrec in his weight class and who knocked down Massey. And it was split decision, so Billiam-Smith could have also won.
The only question concerning this bout is imho: Will Billiam-Smith win prematurely?
Harper vs. Jonas
Not to bold, if one predicts a certain win of Harper. Harper is way over Jonas. It will be most likely a KO.

Natasha Jonas, DEC
Jonas being wrote off here. I have a sneaky feeling she is going to put Harper on the deck
Thorley vs. Billam-Smith
Nathan Thorley, DEC
I feel like I have to say something about Thorley here since everyone else commenting like Tapology has it all wrong!! We don't,!!! Thorley is the better boxer, OK he isn't A Matchroom boy! Just coz you don't have the big promoter doesn't make you a lesser boxer. Thorley is the overall better boxer here. Billam Smith is all athleticism and wild power punches. Riakphore, who isn't exactly technically sound out boxed him. So, yeah, Thorley gonna do the same
Fowler vs. Harper
Anthony Fowler, DEC
I think Fowler is massively over rated!!! Not just in this fight but his whole career. He's beaten a bunch of road sweepers and a faded Brian Rose. His 1st test Fitzy spanked him. Harper is a live dog here. He is tough as nails and has upset the home fighter more than once. Unfortunately for Harper he is going to have to KO Fowler to get the win here, he doesn't have the style to completely outbox Fowler and win every round, which he'd have to do to win a split decision in Eddie's back garden! So Fowler by ****** decision

Could be good, get ourselves a unification tournament going. Reschedule Mama****** and Hyun MI Choi, winner fights Mikaela Mayer. Then that winner, likely Mayer fights the winner of Brodnicka vs Harper/Jonas.
Then we'll get a proper unification! Wait, wait, wait, I forgot this is boxing, we don't want unification. We want WBO, WBC, WBC interim, WBA, WBA Gold, WBA Super, IBO, IBF and all the Inter Continental Champions you could think of!!!

He made it to the final of the ABAE nationals in 2013 and 2016. 2014 he lost against Nihell in the quarterfinals 2:1. But Nihell, always refusing to turn pro, was 3 years older that time.
>Your giving credit for beating Craig Glover, 9-5(gets KO'd a lot) like it means something because Glover beat Vallily, who we just watched last weekend get slapped about the ring and finished inside 3!!
Please notice all that praise Wardley is now getting for beating Vallily. So Glover deserves the same. And Glover was beaten by Billam-Smith.

Seriously tho, I do think Smith is a talent, it should be a good fight between him and Thorley.

I haven't spoken about world class. :-)
btw: I appreciate your counter-arguments. I have some money on Billam-Smith, so I want to know other opinions, if there are any.

I also think CBS gets the job done against Nathan Thorley and I will be amazed if Thorley can even last the distance, as Chris Billam Smith is a big puncher, going places with his career at Cruiserweight, looking for a rematch with Richard Riakporhe and Nathan Thorley, as good as his 14 - 0 record suggests, will Not get in his way...
Hopey Price all the way for me... Levels... His opponent can't outbox him and the relentless pressure that Price applies, complete with his excellent technical boxing credentials will do the trick...
Good Luck to all fighters and I hope they entertain us the Boxing Fans 😎🤔🥊👊👍

1st up is Billam Smith vs Thorley.
By the way, just to be clear now that picks have locked I fully expect Billam Smith to destroy Thorley!!!! It's just when I see Tapology getting it wrong on boxing I don't want to tell them because getting an underdog pick in the boxing is soooooo rare! So I'm not going to tell people until the picks are locked!! Hahaha

Hahaha mikey I get you mate. Didn’t think of that one. Was very confused last night when you were saying Thorley would beat billam smith. Not sure why 70% of tapology are picking Thorley

I get fed up with people just picking the favourite in boxing and getting everything right so, as the editor, I like to throw in a few curveballs!!! Haha! Make people work for their picks!!!
Saying that, watch Thorley come out and absolutely school Smith now!!!
