WBO European Featherweight title (10x3): Marco McCullough (10-1) v Dmitry Kirillov (31-4-1)

MARCO had a tough night against Martin Parlagi in April. The Czech dropped the Shankill Road fighter for the first time in his pro career and he also had to contend with a nasty gash after a clash of heads.

Kirillov 'The Baby' was a real force up until five years ago when he lost an IBF super-flyweight title fight to Vic Darchinyan - the only man to stop him.

He's had two fights at featherweight since his comeback and he'll be McCullough's toughest test so far. It might take him a while to figure Kirillov out, but he'll have the legs to force a points win in the chief support.

Verdict: McCullough

IBF Inter-Continental middleweight title (12x3): Eamonn O'Kane (12-1-0) v Virgilijus Stapulionis (23-3)

O'KANE always gives the punters value for money. Whether it's a 12-round war against Kerry Hope or his first round knockout of Alvaro Gaona last time out, you can't take your eyes off him.

Lithuanian Stapulionis lost an IBF International title challenge two years ago but has a decent record and will come to fight. He also scored a first round knockout in his last fight and this looks like being a serious test for 'King Kane'.

Verdict: O'Kane

Super-flyweight (12x3): Jamie Conlan (12-0) v Jose Estrella (14-5-1)

ESTRELLA couldn't make the weight so the WBO Inter-Continental super-flyweight title isn't on the line.

It's 'The Mexican' versus the Mexican. Conlan faces a test against late replacement Estrella who stepped in for the injured Daryl Basadre and has 10 stoppage wins on his record. He's game, but expect Conlan to have far too much for him, especially if he puts his punches together. His footwork is precise and he is a devastating body puncher too. Verdict: Conlan KO.

Middleweight (6x3): Conrad Cummings (3-0) v Robert Talarek (7-6-2)

'DYNAMITE' Cummings has put himself through the mill for this one and looks in terrific shape. "No stones were left unturned," he said. "I did everything the same as Carl - the conditioning, the runs, the sprints, the weights and the spars. Training alongside him is making me up my game - I want to be on the top of the bill some night."

Talarek has been about and has caused upsets before, but Cummings's power should earn him a stoppage win.

Verdict: Cummings KO

Super-featherweight (4x3): Anthony Cacace (8-0) v Dawid Knade (2-2)

GREAT to see the talented Cacace on this bill. He's a thinking fighter and needs to relax and let his hands go tonight. He should get the win against novice Knade.

Verdict: Cacace.

Super-bantamweight: Willie Casey (14-3) v George Gachechiladze

FORMER interim WBA World super-bantamweight challenger 'Big Bang' returns to Belfast and should get his career upand-running again against journeyman Gachechiladze.

Verdict: Casey.

Welterweight (4x3): Matthew Wilton (9-0) v Adam Cieslak (3-2)

WILTON gets his first taste of the big time against Poland's Cieslak, who has won his last two on points. Wilton should move into British title contention with another win and avoiding another cut would be a welcome bonus. Verdict: Wilton.
