Upcoming Fights **Mod note: Keep discussion to fight night threads**

Bellew is clueless in his scoring

Joe won rd 12…

Very very competitively fought, but on cleaner scoring I think Joe won..

Bellew a numpty!!!!

Not a mark on Joe

Rachimov looks very weak… I saw him after Rd 8 I think and he looked spent!

I had it 116-111 Joe.

Anyway, I am very impressed with Cordina. He seems to have great speed and technique, good power and defence a decent chin and fantastic fitness.

Wow

Very innocuous looking body shot. Almost half a push shot. Was an ok fight up to that. Fairly close. I think the southpaw v orthodox clash/feet made it wee bit disjointed and awkward.

For the sake a debate: was there an element of quit? Yes, the shot hurt. But he wasn’t writhing on the floor in pain. He was lucid, alert and listening to the count. As soon as it got to 10, up he gets and walks away. Looked to me as like he didn’t want to get up to even try and suck it up..

I brought it up for discussion..so quit your smart arse replies.

Plenty online discussion asking similar. The chap was alert, lucid and as soon as the count hit 10 he got up. Nobody is saying the shot didn’t hurt. But these are boxers. Supposed to be the hardest and toughest and most resilient men in sport. I’ve seen countless boxers hit with hard body shots, in real pain and sucking it up to get up.

Garcia, to me seemed to decide he wouldn’t suck it up, not that he couldn’t. He even said as much in the press conference. And his responses to Jim Gray in the ring were far from convincing.

Go watch Gatti v Ward where Ward landed vicious body shots on Gatti who sucked them up and decided to fight on. These shots, after many hard and brutal rounds.

Like said. Brought up merely for discussion. If you have any intelligent counter responses on what you think, show me. But don’t come on here engaging me trying to be a smart arse.
