First topic message reminder :

Joshua just about to knock Legg out, Damien and Chris have both text me saying the atmosphere is rocking mad

by wheelchair1991 Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:26

Im glad froch has cheered up lol

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:27

4-4-1 for me Adam...

Mitchell looked like he hurt him at the end of the 9th..

Good fight

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:27

Interesting article on skysports about Froch saying he needs to combat his nerves!

Given his superstar status wouldn't imagine he would have any at this point in his career! Certainly not enough to have to control them!

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:28

Unless Mitchell knocks him down, there is ok way he should get a decision

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:30

8/2. Possibly 7/3 at best

by **hampo17** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:31

Rumours around Wembley that Sakio Bika is going to start a little "drama" after the fight tonight Laugh

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:31

I got it 7/3 to Maduma. Some close ones though. Maduma won't get a fair shake.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:33

Take a knee, idiot

by **hampo17** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:34

Fair play to Mitchell, but Maduma didn't know what to do once he was hurt.

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:34

I think that was a poor stoppage. Should let him make it to the end of the round.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:34

Nah I don't agree with that stoppage. Vice versa and Mitchell gets benefit of the doubt.

by wheelchair1991 Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:35

Poor stoppage for me

by Happytravelling Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:35

What an odd finish. I didn't think the punch looked that hard but Maduma simply seemed to lose his legs. Exhaustion and punch, maybe?

Not the best finish by Mitchell but the ref was right.

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:36

I reckon they should have a rematch following that decision. £5m each for the rematch Wink

by **hampo17** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:36

Referee stopped that because when he reached for the rope he missed and stumbled, made his condition look a lot worse than it was.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:37

"And he's on the road"
Paulie hits it on the head really

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:37

If I was the ibf champ, I would be more than happy to take on Mitchell.

by **hampo17** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:37

Paulie wants to be careful, they won't have him back otherwise Wink

by mobilemaster8 Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:38

Agree with the stoppage. Looked gone in the legs. Exhausted possibly.

Glad Paulie is commentating as well.

Mitchell is simply an average fighter at very best. No more and no less. Gets eaten at world level (see vs Burns and Katsidis).

Looking fo forward to De Gale to see how he looks.

by Steffan Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:38

Naaaaaaaaarce waaaaaaaaan Kevin. You and your pitbull have a few cans and a smoke to celebrate

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:38

Can't wait to hear from David Haye. Yes this is sarcasm.

by wheelchair1991 Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:39

Paulie is the only one that speaks sense out of the three of them

by Happytravelling Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:40

Maduma's legs had gone and he was there to be hit. The ref had to protect him from himself. It was a good stoppage.

Unless anybody out there can tell me how they thought, given how his legs went, he was going to come back?

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:40

Poor stoppage...what does that make the Froch v groves I stoppage mind Wink

Credit to Mitchell stuck in there; two years ago odd he wouldn't have I don't think. Showed that he's just short of world class still though; easy to frustrate and figure out.

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:41

Calling it now; first of two big predictions! De gale gets walked down and beaten..stopped around the 10th!

by Hammersmith harrier Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:41

I can see why the ref stopped it, his legs were completely gone as was he.

by Happytravelling Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:43

Just to point out, Maduma also failed to raise his hands to the ref after the standing 8.

It was odd, but his legs had gone and he didn't seem to be defending himself. So, it was a fair stoppage.

Missing the ropes when he was trying to steady himself, certainly didn't help.

by Steffan Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:44

Degale up next:

HE'S CHUNKY...HE'S CHUNKY...HE'S CHUNKY...HE'S CHUNKY

by wheelchair1991 Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:48

If degale hears the final bell i have a suspicion he will win on points

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:50

Come on Gonzalez! First of my bets!!!!

by Hammersmith harrier Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:51

Beautiful left hand.

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:53

I hope DeGale loses because he is wearing black socks and black shoes. #fashionfauxpas

by Hammersmith harrier Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:53

Gonzalez isn't going to walk him down that much is obvious already.

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:54

Good round regale though he always starts pretty well.

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:56

Hammersmith...your making that call after one round!! Swear you like disagreeing with me! Given de gales tendency to start sitting in the ropes it's more than possible anytime after the 6th!

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:56

Gonzales is really working the body well

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:57

One all

by mobilemaster8 Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:58

1-1 so far for me. Should be a good fight this

by Hammersmith harrier Sat 31 May 2014 - 20:59

I just think you're wrong more often than not, he just doesn't look the type to walk someone down.

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:00

DeGale looks a different fighter tonight. I still want him to lose due to the black sock/black shoe combo

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:00

Well that second round showed what de gale is about; undies the hard work of the first! Closed down easier by Gonzalez!

Always shocked how easy James marks up; red round both eyes already!!

Having watched his previous fights HH it tends to be what he does.

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:01

2-1 for DeGale

by **hampo17** Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:02

Listening to Wayne Rooney is more painful than water boarding.

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:03

Wayne Rooney > Jim watt

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:03

He doesn't have to be against degale hh! James allows people to do it! Surely if you know anything about boxing you know that...

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:04

From experience, Hampo, I agree

by Adam D Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:04

Fair play to degale

by **hampo17** Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:04

If anybody had experienced it on here JBW, I thought it'd be you.

by **hampo17** Sat 31 May 2014 - 21:05

The referee should have pushed Degale back then, Degale was stood next to him when he was giving the count.
