Whilst Pele Reid was not completely out of it - I cannot argue with the decision - them big lads can hit f*cking hard - the only thing I question is if Reid managed to survive how long John McD would have been able to sustain his onslaught - then things might have got interesting.
Its not the worst stoppage I have seen.

John did well last night - he swamped poor old Pele with shots once he had him rocked and sustained the pressure needed to get the stoppage.
If you weighed the pair up before the fight started you would be praying that John didnt get hurt too badly, such is the disparity in their physiques.
John proved, however, that a well grounded, technically competent fighter holds the aces over the wilder, disjointed style that Pele employs. It was a case of substance over flair in the end.
I was a little disappointed that Pele didnt look more fluid and compact in their last night; it would seem that not even Len and Ritchie Woodhall can iron out his stylistic flaws!
Would be niec to see John in with Danny Williams for the British on the back of his excellent performance last night but does he have he self belief/drive to boss the division domestically? I dont think he does, despite his ability and physical tools.

Why not McDermott and Harrison?

I like John McDermott - he is a good fighter and would give most heavyweights an argument. I can't see him beating this version of
Danny Williams to be honest. It would be a tall order for him once
Danny started letting his punches go.
But let Williams vacate the title and McDermott can get in there with Sprotty - I think he could win that depending on which Michael Sprott turns up.

no complaints from Pele or his corner, although he was on his fet and was holding onto Big John for all he was worth when they called it off.Old bones Ian wrote:What happened last night in the fight? i see it was a 2nd round KO, but was it an early stoppage?
He was rocked, no doubt and it was just a matter of time before he got dispatched completely IMO.
Impressive win for McDermott last night - he let his hands go well once Pele was unsteady

beat me to it Rhino - I was about to post the exact same post - almost word for word.rhino222 wrote:macdoughnut v williams is a ridiculous call, if skelton owned macdoughnut in a minute or so then danny would do exactly the same, no way is macdermott ready to be let loose against williams, not now not ever, 20% of danny williams ko's macdoughnut.
macdoughnut v rogan is a better call.
McDermott is a fat fornicate - I'm sure he's a nice guy but his condition is a fornicating disgrace to boxing.
McDermott would have his whole handed to him by Williams
McDermott v Rogan would be a good testing fight to find the true level of both fighters

Styles make fights Rhino and McDemott's compact and tidy style could see him fair ok against Danny (depending which Danny turned up of course!)rhino222 wrote:macdoughnut v williams is a ridiculous call, if skelton owned macdoughnut in a minute or so then danny would do exactly the same, no way is macdermott ready to be let loose against williams, not now not ever, 20% of danny williams ko's macdoughnut.

REmember Williams dismissing Kali Meehan in 30 secs? Who would have thought the Kiwi would go on to give a decent showing in a heavyweight title fight?
I give Big John his dues - he has the size (although not all of it effective weight) and the skills to give any domestic heavy an argument. The skelton shocker was an abberation in my eyes, nothing more.
you are mad, if the fight is made then macdermott gets wasted within 3 rounds....100 quid of mine says so !!TerribleTerry wrote:Styles make fights Rhino and McDemott's compact and tidy style could see him fair ok against Danny (depending which Danny turned up of course!)rhino222 wrote:macdoughnut v williams is a ridiculous call, if skelton owned macdoughnut in a minute or so then danny would do exactly the same, no way is macdermott ready to be let loose against williams, not now not ever, 20% of danny williams ko's macdoughnut.

Steady on Rhino - I might have been impressed with McDermott's skills and finishing last night but I have seen nothing in his attitude or mental make up that will see me back him with my hard earned!rhino222 wrote:you are mad, if the fight is made then macdermott gets wasted within 3 rounds....100 quid of mine says so !!TerribleTerry wrote:Styles make fights Rhino and McDemott's compact and tidy style could see him fair ok against Danny (depending which Danny turned up of course!)rhino222 wrote:macdoughnut v williams is a ridiculous call, if skelton owned macdoughnut in a minute or so then danny would do exactly the same, no way is macdermott ready to be let loose against williams, not now not ever, 20% of danny williams ko's macdoughnut.
