Brit In World Title Challenge This Weekend.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Thu Oct 23, 2014 12:08 pm

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! thumbsup

Anyone seen much of Caballero?

by Strongback Thu Oct 23, 2014 1:51 pm

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

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Thu Oct 23, 2014 2:20 pm

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.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Thu Oct 23, 2014 3:13 pm

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.

by hazharrison Thu Oct 23, 2014 3:16 pm

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.

by alanqlm Fri Oct 24, 2014 10:32 am

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

by milkyboy Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:39 am

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

by neilodonnell Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:20 pm

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

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:24 pm

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

by TRUSSMAN66 Fri Oct 24, 2014 8:52 pm

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..

by mobilemaster8 Sat Oct 25, 2014 7:08 pm

A bit like Jamie McDonnel and Scott Quigg. Complete joke

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Oct 25, 2014 7:09 pm

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

by mobilemaster8 Sat Oct 25, 2014 7:16 pm

Disagree hammer, but that's just me sorry.

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Oct 25, 2014 7:20 pm

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

by mobilemaster8 Sat Oct 25, 2014 7:27 pm

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.

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:45 pm

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?

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:58 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:59 pm

Hall knocked down.

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:59 pm

Seems a flash Kd.

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:01 pm

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

by 3fingers Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:03 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:05 pm

Hall's round easily
29-27 Caba

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:06 pm

Had the first even, 29-28 for me

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:10 pm

Hall's I think
38-37 Caba.

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

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:12 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:14 pm

Ooh, low blow...

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:16 pm

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

by rob-glos Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:18 pm

Meanwhile on Boxnation....

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:18 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:19 pm

Golovkin is so beautiful. What a class act

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:19 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:22 pm

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

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:22 pm

Halls best round. Good fight.

by 3fingers Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:24 pm

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.

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:25 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:26 pm

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

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:27 pm

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!

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:31 pm

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

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:33 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:34 pm

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

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:36 pm

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

by 3fingers Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:37 pm

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.

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:38 pm

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

by milkyboy Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:40 pm

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

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:42 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:42 pm

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

by kingraf Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:44 pm

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...

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:47 pm

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