Post by thepocketrocket »

After Ten months out with a serious shoulder injury 'The Irish Hunter' returns on Saturday night on the Hennessy sports bill at Wigan...his opponent will be Steve Gethin...

Great to see him back, the wins against Baguley and Hill look excellent..hopefully his return will be successful, hes a good fella!

Not a good showing by Buckley, he lacked imagination and was outboxed all the way by Mo Khalid who was unlucky not to get the verdict.

Think we are exaggerating a bit here but Buckley will have his say later in the week!!

The fact remains he is undefeated...

absolutley shocking decision by the ref and by the look on the ref's face after he made the decision - he knew it too.

There is an article about this on British Boxing News.

It is fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate depending on how you look at it, that this fight was on TV. The vast majority of these "debatable" decisions tend to come on undercards when 95% of people watching will be fans of the prospect.

It looked a perfectly fair decision to me. Could have gone either way, depending on which style you judged to be more effective. I couldn't see what all the fuss was about, but Rawling obviously thought Khalid won and got on his high horse about it.

Khalid seemed a very clear winner to me.

Surely the boxer landing the punches (Khalid) was more effective
