Dolan all set

[Old bones Ian]

I keep think of the Thompson v Vuma fight

[Chambers2]

Light knockdown scored for Norton, looked a push to me. Norton 10-8

[Old bones Ian]

Light knockdown scored for Norton, looked a push to me. Norton 10-8

It was almost a cricket appeal by Norton for the knockdown

[Old bones Ian]

Norton gets his jab working, commentators say it was a close round, i thought a clear round for Norton

[Pongsaklek]

British commentators are weird, always accusing Dolan of not doing enough, while Norton is posing.

[chinny]

Isn't showing much variety Dolan is he? Jab, right hand, etc.
Well matched these two
As I say that Norton down again right on the bell!

[Chambers2]

10-8 Dolan. Flash knockdown, maybe ait harsh to score it a KD 1-1

[Old bones Ian]

Well i thought that was a round for Norton, then he gets knocked down right on the bell, but looked a bit of a slip.

That could actually go against Dolan, as Norton might get more fired up

[n1ebf]

sounds like a bit of a barnstormer keep up the post guys, appreciated!

I took Norton by KO and also a cover bet on points too. Great to see such split opinion on the forum.

[Chambers2]

Nortons 9th. I THINK I've got Dolan 2 up with 3 to go. Good contest

[Old bones Ian]

Dolan backing up a bit in the 9th, is he taking a round off? or is he tiring? or trying to lure in Norton?

i've no idea

Think Norton won the round though. he's still looking quite fresh and cocky.

[Chambers2]

Dolans gone quiet, Norton takes 10th on workrate

[Old bones Ian]

10th to Norton, he's just that bit busier than Dolan.

Dolan needs to have a big 11th, let his right hand go more, he's not thrown it enough over the last 2 rounds

[chinny]

Dolan down in the 11th from a good left hook!

[Chambers2]

Norton scores a knockdown. 10-8 Norton. Not confident of seeing my £20 again

[chinny]

with all the knockdowns I've lost count of my score, just enjoying it now! One more round.

[Old bones Ian]

Norton wins round , gets a KD in the 11th. Dolan may as well go for broke.

Think he will, round 12 should be good

[n1ebf]

What a thread! What a fight!!!! if it's as good as this on tele it must be a belter!

[chinny]

not the time or place but why can't boxers just wear the same colour gloves?

[Chambers2]

Dolans final round, I think I've got it draw (been keeping score in my stoned head).

You wouldn't want to spill Rob Nortons pint

[Old bones Ian]

Well done to both lads, 12th was a hard one to score, i favour Norton overall, but the scoring by the judges could be all over the place was one of those fights.

Dolan proved he belongs at the british title level at the very least.

[chinny]

Norton wide UD

[Chambers2]

114-111
116-109
115-110

Norton wins UD.

Piss poor scorecards IMO

[Pongsaklek]

116-109 to the winner in a fight he gets knocked down in two different rounds and a total of three times is very creative scoring. Dolan won at least four rounds imho.

[n1ebf]

Thanks for the posts all wasn't expecting it to be as wide as that.
Sounds like Dolan can both hit and BE hit, am surprised he isn't a little bit more elusive with all that amateur pedigree. He should improve though.
I'm going down Hartlepool pier to look for The Goods :(
