Today at 5pm ET, Sky Sports presents a fine double-header from Echo Arena in Liverpool, and Bad Left Hook will be here with live, round-by-round coverage, scoring and analysis.
In the night's main event, Paul Smith (28-1, 15 KO) defends the British super middleweight title against fellow hometown fighter Tony Dodson (24-5-1, 12 KO). Dodson has been stopped four times in his five losses, including in his last fight, a 12th round TKO loss to Tony Quigley. He was also knocked out in three by Carl Froch back in 2006. Smith beat Quigley in October by split decision.
Dodson, 29, tells Sky Sports that he's gunning for the knockout:
"I've changed nothing since the Quigley fight because I did everything perfectly apart from that last round." said Dodson. "I was 60 seconds from being champion. "Sparring means nothing. We used to get on but some people forget themselves. "He's a self-made celebrity who thinks he's great and I can't wait to punch his lights out."
Perhaps of greater interest to American fans is rising welterweight Kell Brook (20-0, 13 KO). The 23-year-old prospect takes on Krzysztof Bienias (39-3, 16 KO), who is sure to be vastly overstated by the Sky commentators as some sort of major test. In all candor, Brook should dominate Bienias given Brook's pedigree and talent. Bienias' biggest fight was way back in 2004, when Junior Witter stopped him in two. He was also shut out in 2003 by Oktay Urkal over 12 rounds.
Note: At 6pm ET, we will interrupt our coverage to go to live coverage of the Pacquiao-Clottey weigh-in.
