Experts have their say ahead of the Johnny Fisher vs Michael Pirotton, Craig Richards vs Radivoje Kalajdzic and Lee Cutler vs Louis Greene fights, live on Sky Sports from 7pm.

Chris Billam-Smith (Former world champion): I did some sparring with Johnny, he's fit and strong as always. You can see that changes have been made under Tony [Sims, his new trainer]. From what I have seen of Pirotton, he's quite negative, he keeps it long. I expect Johnny to come through that.

Johnny Nelson (Former world champion): Pirotton, we don't know enough about him. We've made that mistake before when you run away with the hype machine.

Pirotton's never been put down, he's sparred with a lot of big-name fighters. I hope Johnny wins but I am concerned about this fight. Pirotton, his background pedigree is nothing to be sniffed at.

If Pirotton boxes in the defence then Johnny Fisher will hunt him down. He's better off going to fight fire with fire.

Da'Mazion Vanhouter (heavyweight prospect): It's going to be a good fight, I can see Fisher pulling it off. I don't know if it'll be a knockout or a decision but I'm saying it'll be a good fight. I think it'll definitely be tough.

Cheavon Clarke (Former British champion): I'm voting for Johnny. I've heard that Pirotton's very good. I'm sure Johnny's been training, I'm sure he'll come prepared. He'll be fit and ready to roll. So I'm rolling with the Brit.

Paul Ready (boxing manager): I think it will be interesting. I favour Johnny to maybe stop him in the second half of the fight. But I think there will definitely be some moments where Johnny will be tested. I think the start will be key for both. But I fancy Johnny Fisher by stoppage, in maybe eight or nine.

Billam-Smith: I've done loads of rounds with Craig over the years. Good fighter, got a good jab, good timing but he's deceiving with it.

Radivoje obviously carries power and can box a bit. It'll be an interesting one. I'd pick Craig to win that, probably on points.

Nelson: Spider you saw him in there with Bivol. He's got bottle and he's got self-belief. He'll probably think to himself, this is my last hurrah.

Every fight for him is a world title fight because he still has that appetite and that ambition. I see Spider winning. He's a very clever fighter, very underrated boxer.

Vanhouter : You can expect to see Hot Rod's best performance. He's going to shock UK fans after this fight.

Clarke: I think Spider's a very good fighter. I've done rounds with him as well. His fight against Buatsi, what a fight that was. Spider's a very good fighter and I'm expecting him to come out on top. Stoppage - I'm calling it.

Ready: I think Craig will definitely have to overcome some adversity in that fight but I think Craig maybe wins a split.

Billam-Smith: It's not an easy fight for Lee, by no stretch. You know what you're getting. Green is going to come forward. Lee's adaptable, he can box in different ways, he can box on the front foot, he can box on the back foot. It's down to the game plan. Stick to that and he can win.

Nelson: Louis is a scary man but I like Lee Cutler for this fight. There's a lot more going on with Lee Cutler. Don't be fooled and don't dismiss his experience in the ups and downs of our game. I'm going with Lee Cutler. It'll be a great fight. Trust me it will be an action-packed fight.

Vanhouter: I like Lee Cutler's style, I think he'll pull it off. I like his style so I'm hoping that Lee wins.

Clarke: That's possibly fight of the night because them two are coming and I don't feel that they're going to leave anything. I think it's going to be sit in the middle of the ring and slug it out. It's going to be who's the tough man on the night. I think that's a 50-50 fight, definitely. But I live in Kent, so I'm rolling with Louis.

Ready: I'm going to go for the upset here. I think it'll be Louis Greene, points. I think it'll be a good attritional fight.
