Should be a good money earner. The British title is currently vacant so if the BBBofC can be persuaded to sanction it we could have another British, Commonwealt & European championship fight.

Whats your feeling on the fight? I'm a fan of both but think it's a bad style matchup for Tommy. I think CBS is too strong and determined. He hits hard and is very physical.

I think it's 50/50 which makes it such a good matchup. I'd give CBS the power edge, so maybe late KO.
I just recall both of their rights against Riakporhe, McCarthy was boxing well up until the stoppage but couldn't handle the power of Richard. I thought CBS should have nicked the decision against a thoroughly gassed Riakporhe, and they could have deducted a point or two for the constant holding by the London fighter.
McCarthy looks much more fit and focused than I've seen him before but I'm just thinking it's a bad matchup for him.
