ALL the hype has been about Sunday's two heavyweight clashes at the Hong Kong Stadium but those in the know tip the best bout will be further down the bill and a lot further down the weight scales.
The International Boxing Federation (IBF) lightweight title contest between Mexican/American holder Rafael Ruelas and British challenger Billy Schwer has all the hallmarks of being a fight to remember.
'High Noon in Hong Kong' represents Luton-based Schwer's first shot at a world crown.
'I believe this will be the best fight of the day. I've watched Ruelas a lot on video and he's very tough. But there are ways we can beat him - by not fighting his kind of fight and by being my usual aggressive self without leaving myself open,' said Schwer.
Schwer's trainer Jack Lindsay is more specific how he'd like to see the fight develop.
'I have looked at Ruelas in, out and round the corner. What you have to watch with him is the way he doesn't just throw one punch but four or five together. He moves quickly from foot to foot. You might dodge his first one or the second, but he'll land a few.
'Billy has to fight a counter-puncher's fight, to draw him, shift and make him lead. Billy's best wins so far have been by counter-punching but he doesn't like to fight that way. He likes to come in.
