Metcalf showing a surprisingly good jab so far.

Morrison J · 15-06-2019 9:46pm

Tabiti is just a good athlete. Very average boxer.

Very messy fight but Dorticos taking over

normanoffside · 15-06-2019 9:58pm

Massive KO from the KO Doctor

Morrison J · 15-06-2019 10:00pm

KO of the year contender for sure. What a shot.

Angliru · 15-06-2019 10:03pm

That's a satisfying one. Tabiti is awful to watch.

Dorticos has to be the most unCuban Cuban ever. He fights more like a Mexican.

normanoffside · 15-06-2019 10:34pm

Byrd making a mess of this Breidis fight.

Angliru · 15-06-2019 10:34pm

Eh what

megadodge · 15-06-2019 10:35pm

That was a rather chaotic second round.

Interesting to hear official opinions after that.

Johner · 15-06-2019 10:37pm

Only caught the replay, how is that not a DQ?

megadodge · 15-06-2019 10:39pm

Whatever about the elbow, the fact that the Pole was knocked down heavily ages after the bell rang should have been taken into consideration. He should have got a timeout of some sort at the beginning of the next round.

normanoffside · 15-06-2019 10:43pm

Breidis describes his Elbow as a ‘dirty punch’ ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚
He then admits to hearing the bell at the end of the second.
I winder will there be repercussions to this win?

titan18 · 15-06-2019 10:48pm

Should be either Breidis dq or a no contest and refight. Byrd should be forced to retire along with his crappy wife. Not sure you can get a worse refereeing performance than that.

The thing is I think Breidis would win a rematch but Glowacki’s team can surely argue that the elbow caused the concussion which led to the first knockdown.

Agree that Byrd should retire. He bottled the elbow situation and Everyone heard the bell at the end of the second but him.

He even wanted them to fight in after the 2nd Knockdown in the 2nd which was bizarre.

I'm not making excuses for him, but hearing the bell on tv (where it is miked up to the tv system) and hearing it live in the ring when you have thousands of Latvians screaming their heads off is a completely different situation entirely. It has happened many, many times over the years when there is big crowd noise, just not for as long.

Breidis himself said he heard it!

Johner · 15-06-2019 11:14pm

This is very scrappy, not a great watch but Kid Galahad is doing well.

megadodge · 15-06-2019 11:28pm

Warrington struggling with Galahad's southpaw style. Can't impose himself like he normally does. This will be very close.

ASOT · 15-06-2019 11:31pm

Brutal scrap imo. KG fighting the right fight to get the win though

Johner · 15-06-2019 11:33pm

I think Galahad is winning but the rounds are close. Galahad is making Warrington fight his fight.

mada82 · 15-06-2019 11:36pm

Ronald Macintosh needs to shut up.

jeremyj1968 · 15-06-2019 11:40pm

It's like an Okolie fight, all arms and shoulders.

Very hard to score it. Galahad should probably have been docked a point for holding at this stage.

jeremyj1968 · 15-06-2019 11:43pm

Anybody scoring it?

Johner · 15-06-2019 11:46pm

7-5 Galahad but not with any confidence. Not a great fight and a horrible fight to score.

Given the nature of the fight and the way Galahad fought, and the nature of the press conference, I would worry about how they get Ingle and Galahad out of there if he gets the decision. :eek:

iebamm2580 · 15-06-2019 11:48pm

Id give it to warrington

Bobby Baccala · 15-06-2019 11:52pm

The judges saw through Galahad's incessant clinching. That was a tough fight to watch at times, glad Warrington got the win although it could have gone either way.

jeremyj1968 · 15-06-2019 11:55pm

The two youtube live commentaries I'm watching are calling this a "robbery"!

Morrison J · 16-06-2019 12:04am

Never a robbery. Close fight that could've gone either way. Going to need a higher output to beat Warrington in Leeds though.

Would be avoiding Shakur Stevenson like the plague if I'm Warrington though. Slicker southpaw than Galahad.

weemcd · 16-06-2019 12:09am

Not a robbery, pretty poor fight. Galahad landed clean shots and made Warrington miss a lot, but he had no solid output of his own, spent too much time initiating the clinch, smothered the work and held on. A bit more activity Galahad would have had this, but I'm sorry you can't win a world title like that. He also was very close to getting docked a point a few times in the fight.

Warrington just won and no more, I'd have him up by two but I didn't score it. I sincerely hope we never see the rematch.

Any pub in Dublin open to watch the Fury fight?

At 4am? Highly doubt it

Ultimate Seduction · 16-06-2019 11:03am

Was not expecting a 2nd round KO. Master class from Fury but Shcwartz offered abolutley nothing and was down with a light jab through the gloves.

Angliru · 16-06-2019 11:10am

Lads he's made some mistakes in the past but Tyson Fury is a f*cking legend. I pray he keeps his head together and stays on the right path.

normanoffside · 16-06-2019 2:26pm

This Romanov vs Bracamonte fight is fun.

Angliru · 16-06-2019 7:43pm

Makabu-Kudrayshov didn't disappoint

Yes it was a nice little card. Kudryashov has surely nowhere to go now.
