Brit In World Title Challenge This Weekend.

Doesn't seem to be much talk but Stuart Hall could actually become two time World Champ this weekend if he can beat Randy Caballero in Monte Carlo.

Not seen much of Caballero but how often does Golden Boy loose purse bids for there fighters? Not sure if they have much confidence in him or whether they think he can deliver the goods with miniminal effort on there part.

Hope Stuey does it!

Anyone seen much of Caballero?

Little or no hype for this and its on terrestrial telly!

I'll tune in for the main event. A big ask for Hall seems to be the word on the street.

Eddie Hearn would promoted this fight sooooooooooo much better

Hahaha

It is a shame and this fight is not being spoke about much. Might have to do a little digging to see what Caballero is all about and I will provide some insight.

Caballero's a decent looking fighter. Comes forward, throws short hooks and uppercuts, handy with his left hook. Hall can be outboxed but I haven't seen him outfought.

Both like to come forward. Caballero might just benefit from having shorter arms in a punch-out. He'll land first as a result.

Hall comes on late and so I can imagine a distance fight with a controversial result. Hall looks good value at 5-1.

Hall has got a decent chin and fought most of the Malinga fight with a bad eye which proves his heart aswell because he wasn't having things all his own way against Malinga.

5/1 is not bad odds for Hall, might have to throw a cheeky £5 for interest.

McDonnell had to outbox him. Haskins is tricky as hell and Butler was far too nippy until he slowed late.

This is a different kettle of fish. Caballero comes to fight.

I still edge towards Caballero but have a feeling Hall might get the nod if it goes to the cards (Hobson obviously has some pull with the IBF).

Nice fight for C5 to pick up.

Anybody know if 5 will also be showing the Martin Murray fight seeing as they are on the same card?

Could be a cracking little fight. I'll be rooting for the darlo boy to upset the odds.

7/2 is the best you'll get on Hall.

Watched him win the first one in Leeds First Direct arena, hope he does well...

Hope Hall loses.........He was a joke champion in the first place who lost to a Brit who isn't even big enough for that weight..

Certainly not a guy one wants to be calling a two time World champ..

A bit like Jamie McDonnel and Scott Quigg. Complete joke

McDonnell was deserving of his world title, he did beat a highly rated power puncher in Ceja.

Disagree hammer, but that's just me sorry.

You would though because they're all useless bums according to you.

When did I say that hammer mate? I've not once mentioned in this thread about his opponents. I just don't agree with your opinion that's all.

Sh.it, this Alvarez guy just took Liebenberg to the cleaners. Liebenberg is better than decent (he beat Grachev quite decisively a few months ago) who is he?

Lest there was any doubt... Looks like a phone booth fight, after round one.

Hall knocked down.

Seems a flash Kd.

Rd 1 10-9 Caba
Rd 2 - 10-8 Caba

only caught the last round of McDonnell vs Malinga they looked very evenly matched from the little i saw

Hall's round easily
29-27 Caba

Had the first even, 29-28 for me

Hall's I think
38-37 Caba.

No complaints if you have it even, mate. Was pretty close.

Tough round to score, caba looks slick on the back foot but didn't do much... And jnteresting it's him who's changed tactics

Ooh, low blow...

Close round but I think Caba had the cleaner work
48-46.

Jeezus this is tough to score. I do wonder sometimes how different boxing is to gymnastics when picking a winner

Meanwhile on Boxnation....

Tom Stalker just got stopped in the 8th after being down a few times. 
No idea where he goes from there.

Hall bossed that one I think
57-56 for me.

Golovkin is so beautiful. What a class act

I'm finding this really hard to score. Caba looks slicker has faster hands, hall forcing the face .

Hall is doing all the work. Not all of it is effective, but slightly iffy work is better than no work... Caba is just dancing, not firing enough back...
10-9 Hall
66-66

Halls best round. Good fight.

Can't catch this fight. No TV here. Anyway when I was  12 or 13...maybe 14? it was a long time ago, we were weighing in, and Hall told me he'd me he'd tried to slit his wrists. He showed me a feint scratch. I didn't know what to think. To this day I don't know if he was winding me up. He had a mushroom curtain basin haircut.

Very tricky fight to score, not exactly a great fight to watch.

I think Caba did enough there, controlled the direction of that round, and did some okay work
76-75 Caba

True raf... Not a bad maxim, that if you can't split them on anything else, give it to the guy forcing the pace. Caba came forward in the 8th but landed nothing for me. I've given up scoring!

Decent finish - flurry Steals the round for Hall. I think so anyway
85-85.

None of these two are world class.....

Caba is beginning to chew some leather.
95-94 Hall.

Interesting to see woodhall's card. Had hall a round up, 2 rounds later he has caba 2 rounds up!

I'm pretty certain my mate Anth Wright (god bless his soul) beat Hall when we were kids. I was VERY surprised when he got a title shot. It seemed to come out the blue.

Probably equal on attack that round... but Caba's slicker defense catches my eye.
104-104

Impressed you're still scoring it raf! Truss is right about the lack of class, but can't fault the effort.

Got it 115-112 to Caballero, slicker cleaner work but I hope i'm wrong.

Caba landed the cleaner shots... The prettier shots, the nicer looking defense... I'm giving him
10-9
So 114-113 Caba

Cheers Milky - Was a labour. Stuart could win it 118-109 and I wouldn't complain. So many rounds could have gone either way, it wouldn't be unfair to give one every round...

Was never a 118-110 fight but can't grumble with the result.
