I was kind of surprised to see him still fighting after the midweek incident.

I won't be cheering for him anyway.

Johner

I thought Gorman was very impressive there, Turner not up to much but he's tough.

megadodge

I though BT and Boxnation operated together?

This show is not on Boxnation and obviously I don't have BT.

Conservatory

Hope fury gets his **** together to get in the wilder Joshua mix. Neither I think are in league with the greats but it’ll be good for the division.

Johner

Hooker can’t miss with that right hand. Flanagan looking poor so far.

What bt is this on. Emmmmm my TV guide isn’t working

Not at the races so far

...Ugh, that cut!!!...

The Pheasant2

Rougly what time would people expect the Fury fight to begin by?

Conservatory

Young lad Gorman looks classy. Can’t believe he’s not 40 though by looking at him.

tinpib

10:15pm according to Betfair which is usually reliable.

edit: just flicked on to BT sport and I see it's in round 10/12 of this fight so defo not 10:15pm.

...it'll be probably 22:45 by time earliest by time it starts...

x PyRo

One judge gave it 117-111 to Flanagan - fuck me.

normanoffside

117-111 Flanagan :pac:

Johner

The right man won that.

walshb

Finally a commentator explains how in a close fight you can have wide scores....beats all the nonsense cries of “disgracefulcatd.”

Hooker overall deserved it...

Neither man comes close to great..

Big Ears

First thing that came into my head is that Josh Taylor would make bits of Hooker.

He's okay Hooker tbf, just not genuine World Class. Flanagan was a solid fighter at Lightweight, but he'll struggle up at 140 by the look of that fight.

walshb

Woodhall: He ruled at LW...

Beat fooking nobody...

I think if two judges are looking at the same fight and score the fight 117-111 in opposing directions, then there is either something wrong with the judges or there is just something wrong with the scoring system. Ridiculous.
I see the Irish guy lost to Nathan Gorman. He was talking the big talk at the presser. Even interrupted Ricky Hatton a few times!! But Gorman got him out in three.

Fury Entrance music: 'Because I got high' :pac:

anthonyjmaher

Should Billy Joe be walking on that hamstring :-)

If the rds are razor close then there is nothing wrong with the scoring system or the judges...it has always been a humanly subjective judging based system..

anthonyjmaher

Ah ffs, yer man is dressed like a girl scout.

All fights should continue till there's a knockout, eliminate judges

What's with seferis socks. Is he going straight on a long haul flight when the fights over?

walshb

Get fooking on with it...

Ref needs to set the tone here..

anthonyjmaher

ffs, it's a joke. Can you imagine if you had paid for this?

Guy:Incognito

Furys jiggly left tit is distracting me in the head on shots .

walshb

This lad is effing useless....

And Fury, so far looks ridiculous trying to deal with him...

Guy:Incognito

Camera should focus on the fight in the crowd.

Which one? Cos only one looks like he came for a boxing match

anthonyjmaher

Fight in the crowd yet again at one of these events. Only fighting is actually outside the ring.
I have visions of Lennox Lewis against Hasim Rachman here.

..more interesting than the fury fight anyway lol...seemed to be going on for a couple of minutes ha...

Guy:Incognito

Maybe for the next fight they could find a really fat lad that's only about 4 foot 6 but is heavy enough and they can have another pantomime

ricero

Fights in the crowd. Too much drink and perhaps too many of a certain irish ethnic group in attendance

Conservatory

Lads I’m not sure I’m on the right stream. Is metcalfe and neeto on now?

walshb

This lad listed as 6 feet 2...,

My hole....more like 5’2”

Guy:Incognito

Seferi could do with a little step to run up and jump off to try land those overhand rights.

Juwwi

lol ,, they threw in the towel ,,wtf

LuckyGent88

Well that was exactly what we thought it would be. A farce

Conservatory

Jaysis better get out of this thread so

tinpib

What the hell? That was a total farce.

They should have tried throwing it over furys head a couple to rounds ago

That'd be too much. He's going to do a Drederick Tatum and fight Homer Simpson next.

Juwwi

what a farce of a fight

ctrl-alt-delete

Jesus, they should have just had that in the gym.

Anyways, at least he is back in action.

Wonder is it time to go wwe style and let the top tier fight 2 bums at a time instead of 1. Make it interesting.

walshb

I’ll say it now...Price knocks Fury out...
