Live fight thread

by The Boss Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:32 pm

Haven't seen any mention of the fights yet so thought I'd start a thread. Rocky Fielding not getting everything his own way so far.

Not the most exciting looking card.

What's everyone's thoughts for the night?

by wheelchair1991 Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:36 pm

Stephen smith looked average at best earlier, it was a marking time fight ahead of a world title shot later this year, cant see him winning it though. Good performance from RF, euro level fighter though in my opinion

by The Boss Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:36 pm

And he finished it. Waved off by O'Connor in the 5th after a right few unanswered shots.

by Steffan Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:37 pm

I hope Clev dispatches of this Valori guy and that idiot Bellew wins his match and they fight later on this year. Clev will probably get a hostile reception and the crowd will be cheering on his opponent

by The Boss Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:37 pm

Only turned it on at the start of the Foelding fight.

Callum Smith early KO anyone?

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:40 pm

Rocky did well there, good finish. I think he's reached his level though, hope Eddie feeds him to Callum Smith. Smith is the prospect for me and a merseyside derby for the British belt when big bro vacates sells itself. Make it happen

by wheelchair1991 Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:47 pm

I agree Dipper i think Callum would beat RF and i think the match will happen before too long

by Yojimbonufc Sat Jul 12, 2014 9:36 pm

Smith looks decent. Missed the Fielding fight, but I was impressed by the kid against Luke Campbell. Definately better than his record. This card is alright, but I'm just pumped for the Lara/Canelo card later.

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 9:43 pm

Got some whiskers this guy hasn't he? Good test for Callum Smith

by Strongback Sat Jul 12, 2014 9:50 pm

Looks like its going the distance. Smith still a work in progress.

How much power does Smith have stepping up in
class?

Yeah, he's just a brick of a man. It looks like he was built to take a punch.

Either that or Callum doesn't have world class power as was hoped.

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:08 pm

I'd lean towards the former, although we'll have to see another fight at a similar level to really put it into context.

Looked like a great test for Smith, durable, streetwise southpaw and a full ten rounds under his belt. Stars alingning for a Smith Fielding showdown, I hope.

Halling "What does it is make to stop this guy?"

The answer is a good punch. Biosse has been stopped 3 times.

Basing an opinion on boxrec, classic Strongy tactic.

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:20 pm

Can't knock a commentator for a bit of hyperbole, it is the entertainment industry after all. I think that was a fair rhetorical question considering he was taking some flush shots from a man who's been on a KO streak.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:22 pm

Nice suit Carl. What's he and Degale saying? I have no sound.

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:25 pm

All a bit chummy, not a Rubik's cube in sight.

Half hearted booing of Clev from the scousers as well. Where's all the needle?!

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:28 pm

Was surprised Degale looked a bit bigger than Carl. He did look cute in that suit though.

by Steffan Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:29 pm

Scousers booing a fellow Brit just because he beat their boy. Pathetic

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:30 pm

Oh come off it Steff! I'd boo Bellew in Cardiff and so would you. Nothing wrong with a bit of tribalism

by Steffan Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:32 pm

Bellew is a prize idiot there is no denying that. I respect him as a fighter though

by wheelchair1991 Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:34 pm

Clev has the south american bouncer down

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:36 pm

He's a silly sausage. Total clash of personalities with Clev, which makes the rivalry genuine. Bellew talks a great fight though, he sounds unbeatable when he's bumping his gums.

Nice shot from Clev there. This is ending early

by wheelchair1991 Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:36 pm

Valori looks exhausted after two rounds has a round middle section too

Ha ha.

I hardly pretended I knew about Biossi.

Boxrecing to win a debate is the real crime and you have no rivals as the worst offender of this kind.

by Steffan Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:43 pm

Clev is gonna unify at Cruiserweight

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:43 pm

I don't know who the opponent was so can someone tell me if that was impressive or not?

by wheelchair1991 Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:44 pm

Im not so sure about that steffan Smile

by Steffan Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:44 pm

It was impressive. Cant wait for Clev to bust up Bellew

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:45 pm

I know it's not Mr. Universe but Clev looks a lot better than Bellew at the weight. Bellew looks a little bit fleshy

by wheelchair1991 Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:46 pm

I wasnt impressed with clev again he seems very basic marching up to his opponent, hope im wrong but dont see him being world champ again

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:47 pm

Strongy you need a new line and also need to get yourself a job, as Maylene and the Sons of Disaster would say 'imagination is reality'.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:48 pm

So is Bellew fighting the Brazil goalie? Better be a fast plane...

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:48 pm

Froch is a lot more likeable when he isn't talking about Carl Froch.

by wheelchair1991 Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:50 pm

Yeah he doestalk a lot of sense when hes not talking about himself

by Strongback Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:51 pm

Very nice suit, unfortunately he looks too well groomed and has possible been down Eddie Hearn's wife's beauty saloon.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:53 pm

Beauty saloon? Interesting concept.

You brought the line up??

In my line of work we say 'perception is reality'. I am so busy at work I don't get to come on here during the week much these days. That's lucky for you.

I'd say it's unlucky, one less regular below my pay grade, you're so easy you remind me of a thai hooker.

I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes, white cross on top yellow cross on bottom is my method. Just saying like.

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 11:09 pm

Joshua doing the business again. Got the power that he doesn't need to land flush to get the opponent into trouble. That jab can be a cannon as well

When you were spending your time pursuing a career in Grind Core journalism I was working In a consultancy on projects with budgets in the 100's of millions.

BTW I googled Grind Core, you're an even bigger sicko than I had imagined. Please don't do a school yard mass shooting.

Eddie Hearn looking very tall dark handsome and wealthy tonight, Strongy will be very jealous/angry Laugh

People that brag about things like their physical capabilities or their success/wealth on Internet forums are usually the precise opposite of what they claim. No validation to be found in this murky virtual world.

Very true Sweetie, that's why I try not speak about my 458 Italia... And I dare not mention my seaside compound in Monaco...

by Dipper Brown Sat Jul 12, 2014 11:22 pm

I know Bellew's a big Evertonian but come on, Z cars? Couldn't pick a more underwhelming entrance
