Both won fella, Ryan looked very very good.

Geraint boxed AMAZING to be honest, beating him to the jab and walking through Tony's punches. There was croud trouble after the fight as Geraint did hit Tony 3 times whilst on the canvas during the first knock down.

[Daveyswan]

Thats good he's a good lad nice attitude and ability!

Cant believe Harvey beat tony tho! how did it happen?

Thanks

[Daveyswan]

Thanks just read the rest of your post I've always thought that Geraint given a bit of notice for fights would be a good fighter! his record very misleading!

Cheers

Honestly he gave Tony a boxing lesson from the opening Bell. Tony came out trying to bully Geraint but he was matched and beaten each time.

[Daveyswan]

Good on him although I do like Tony aswell, Hope it gives geraint the mentallity to get him out of the jurneyman mode, although I guess to keep earning and busy...

cheers again

End of Calzaghe promotions me thinks!

[Coco]

It's obviously a blow as Doherty was prob the ticket seller

[whicker]

Not disrespect to Calzaghe promotions, but it looked a very limited bill. The main event was an upset , but this had the look of a "homefighters V easy to beat journeymen show"

The ticket sales reflected this I fear. Anothing that was highlighted was how very limited Hari Miles is (I knew it anyway but Okoth just walked through his punches laughing at him) Wayne Brooks nearly stopped him and Tony Bellew would stop him in the first if Harri came out trading.

Lee Lewis fought very well and it is a shame he does not train enough, he had more than a few extra pounds around his waist and looked very flabby. That said he did not run out of steam and pressed forward all the way giving and taking some heavy punches.

What happened in Tony's fight why was it stopped?

[FLINT ISLAND]

Camp Calzaghe make me laugh they are so amateur. Did you see Calzaghe Clan where they had a urgent press conference at Neport Manor Hotel and Enzo Calzaghe was telling his fighter to come suited and booted ready for the press conference and the fighter turns up late in a scruffy hooded top and jeans and trainers and has a clueless look on his face when little hitler Enzo Calzaghe goes bersek on him for not following his orders and Calzaghe then claims he is not just running a business but a empire . Just a glimpse of how amateurish the whole Calzaghe Camp are.

Then after the fight promotion is all over on the night where Bradley Price's mother was screaming at her son "fornicating hit him" they all pissed off out drinking and left Enzo Calzaghe all on his own and he was going berserk down his mobile at where they were ?

Calzaghes make me laugh - very down to earth people - Joe's mum is a real normal woman - and Joes sisters just look down on Joe as they little kid borther had have no concept of what he ahcieved in the ring - completely oblivious to it - and I think Joe is down the pecking order in that family unit

What happened in Tony's fight why was it stopped?

He stood toe to toe and traded with Geraint and they both took big punches but Tony could not take them. He went down and Geraint hit him whilst down, Referee Wynford gave Tony an 8 count and warned Geraint. Action resumed and Geraint caught Tony with more big shots, Tony held on everytime he could but the ref seperated them, Tony came in with a big overhand right but Geraint caught him first putting him down again. Tony took the 8 count and got up but legs looked like jelly, ref called him forward and he did with his hands up. Fighting resumed again and Geraint caught him with even more big shots and the ref stepped in to stop it, Tony WOULD have been knocked out if it not for the ref.

Hope this helps

Taffytoon - how did Justyn Hugh look?

[taffytoon]

Taffytoon - how did Justyn Hugh look?

About 6 foot, dark hair, a few tattoos and around 13 stone ;;-)

I really like Justyn but he just dont seem to have much power and is one dimensional. I would like to see him and Harri Miles fight with the winner fighting Shon Davies for the Welsh light heavyweight. The lad he was fighting was not up to much either.
