Kevin Anderson and Kevin McIntyre meet at Glasgow’s Kelvin Hall tonight to battle it out for the British Welterweight title. Title holder, McIntyre, who won the last time the pair fought, insists there will be a repeat performance in tonight’s rematch which will be shown live on Sky Sports. Boxing betting sites will be seething with action as the two Scots vie for supremacy.

Anderson believes he will regain his title after losing it to McIntyre last November at the Magnum Centre when the postman from Paisley capitalised on Anderson’s underestimation of his threat and took the match on points after a fabulous exhibition of his skills. He has become a bit of a celebrity in Paisley after the TV presentation of the fight and he won’t want to give that up too readily. Commentators insist that Anderson will not be making the same mistakes tonight, however, and that he will safely regain the title.

Sports betting enthusiasts might well agree with this analysis given that Anderson had not fully rested prior to the November match after his earlier twelve rounder with challenger Francis Jones. There can be no doubt that tonight’s meet will be a fascinating and exciting struggle between two contenders who are both really out to win.

I won’t be mortgaging the house to back Anderson’s challenge but I may well nose around the free bets on offer on various online betting sites and back the hunger of a challenger who wants his title back.
