Tonight's action

First topic message reminder :

Anybody watching? Underwhelming to say the least so far in my opinion.

Was Fielding stripped of title for failing to make the weight?

by milkyboy Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:35 pm

Hampo, I only tease people I respect ... and truss

There was maybe 3 or 4 fights good fights across the last three Matchroom cards. The rest were mismatches. I wouldn't call those terrific or fantastic cards by any stretch of the imagination............even the imagination of a half wit like yourself.

Well at least that's coming from a non biased source.

I notice he's edited it now, my ban finger was twitching Laugh

Just been told I was talking a load of crap when I said Brook loses to both Malignaggi and Porter on twitter, the guy won't tell me why he disagrees though. It's like arguing with Azania or D4.

Maybe he's just read your work before, and was making presumptions based on past experience.

Didn't see brook tonight. He's frustrating and has stamina issues but when he puts it together he has talent in my view. If he can't get in shape for a world title challenge he never will. I would still fancy him against malignaggi in a tough fight ( look at their relative senchenko performances as a benchmark). Porter I'd need to see more of, but from what I have seen it would be a tougher ask.

Was made to work at quite a fast pace for 8 rounds, against a guy who was a clearly good puncher and was barely breathing hard. Think he has actually sorted out his stamina issues with all these sports scientists guys they have brought in since the Carson Jones fight.

Let's hope so from a British boxing perspective, even if cornflake kel is a hard guy to like.

Bellew hasn't landed a bomb in a long time.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:40 pm

Good first round Bellews for me.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:44 pm

Wow great second round

by **hampo17** Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:44 pm

Great right hand from Bellew in that round.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:45 pm

Based on the Stieglitz fight Abe eats Smith alive.

I'd just like to add that sky go on tablet is utterly useless.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:48 pm

Depends if Abraham totally underestimates him

by Pound-for-Pound Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:49 pm

As soon as Bellew stopped loading up he found a beautiful quick straight right to score a knockdown. As a result he goes straight back to loading up.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:52 pm

Just mildly worrying about Bellew gassing late on, being forced to work a lot, under a lot of pressure.

by milkyboy Sat 15 Mar 2014, 10:54 pm

Not a bad fight this one. Get the feeling if the guy drops his pace a bit bellew will take him out, but keeping it close at the moment

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:00 pm

Good fight so far, Bellew looks good.

by **hampo17** Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:00 pm

Bellew looks a lot better at this weight, albeit against limited opposition.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:04 pm

Christ my accumulator.... Please Bellew... No....

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:04 pm

Almost disaster for Bellew, was out of his feet and was saved by having a rest because of a low blow

by Strongback Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:04 pm

This just got interesting.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:06 pm

Dumbest low blow ever! Threw the lotto ticket out the window there bro.

by Pound-for-Pound Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:18 pm

Marco Huck will annihilate Bellew if he gets that far.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:18 pm

Everything has been spot on according to Jim Watt.

Ok

by Strongback Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:19 pm

Considering the opponent was meant to be a gimme at a new weight for Bellew he has made hard work of this.

I don't see Bellew doing much at cruiser based on this.

Jim Watt would have no problem throwing a sly punch.

by alanqlm Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:19 pm

Watching on Ch5 don't know if anybody else is but Dean Francis v Bob Ajasife was a barn storming fight. Back and forth the whole way.

by Pound-for-Pound Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:21 pm

What was the result?

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:21 pm

Been a good fight, saved the card somewhat, if this was poor it'd have been terrible.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:24 pm

Wow what a KO

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:26 pm

Cracking shot!!!!!!!!!

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:27 pm

Wonder if he'll claim he could have done that at any point but wanted to get the rounds in?

by AlexHuckerby Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:28 pm

He was gone at the halfway stage though if it wasn't for a low blow he might have been KO'ed, I crapped myself... Have £100 on an accumulator...

by rob-glos Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:29 pm

Good finish but judging by the way he was rocked in the 7th I can't see him troubling any of the belt holders.

by Strongback Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:30 pm

Happy for Bellew. Getting the KO meant a lot to Tony.

Definitely needs to be carefully matched till he gets used to the weight.

Dropped his pace with about 20 seconds left in the fight. Never in doubt really Whistle

Haha, great prediction mate :P

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 15 Mar 2014, 11:38 pm

Rematch Clev, that'd be fun.

Genuinely not sure who I'd back.

Prefer to see either of them fight Mccrory though.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 12:21 am

Lopez stops De Leon in 2!!Get In!!

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 1:54 am

Just for anyone that missed it

De Leon knocked JuanMa down in the first round after it was slightly cagey then JuanMa came roaring back in the second and it was just a back and forth war until a right hook took De Leon out of it and the ref stopped it, possibly prematurely.

Scott Vs. Wilder up in a mo... can't wait.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:15 am

OMFG OMFG OMFG WOW!!! WILDER KOED SCOTT IN 60 SECONDS....

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:29 am

HWAT??? I missed BOTH the fights I was interested in? Frak. I tuned in just to see Wilder getting announced as winner.

God I'm a nob.

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:36 am

This whole coverage is just Bunce interrupting people causing nothing but an indecipherable cacophony of cockneyness.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:38 am

Haha, unlucky, all I need is Garcia to beat Herrera in any way possible and I get £350. Smile

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:39 am

Watching it on Showtime. So much better.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:44 am

Herrera will be difficult, good jabs to the stomach but Garcia landing the right hand without too much problem.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:48 am

Very close.... Starting to get nervous...

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:50 am

Herrera's being tricky and makin Garcia look more average than he is, but I think the physicality of Danny will be the equaliser.

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:55 am

Garcia needs to stop loading up

My body is teaming with parasites.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 2:57 am

Herrera's real smart and is doing the right things...

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 16 Mar 2014, 3:00 am

OK I have Herrera ahead...

by AlexHuckerby Sun 16 Mar 2014, 3:01 am

How are you scoring this its so close....

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 16 Mar 2014, 3:02 am

Didn't pay much attention to the first two as I didn't think it would be neccesary, but had Herrera winnin 3, 4, 5. Can't see how the judges have Garcia two ahead to be honest.

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 16 Mar 2014, 3:04 am

Herrera utilising the "accidental" headbutt excellently.
