Paul Economides to face Shaun Doherty!!

[thepocketrocket]

Change of opponent, facing a man who lost a razor thin decision against Stephen Russell, then got a draw against Ross Burkinshaw!

Then he seemed to retire for two and a half years....anyone know why???

[chris11]

yeah....me!!!!!

[thepocketrocket]

You know or do we just have a resident smart arse????????????? 8)

[chris11]

both............

[thepocketrocket]

Come on, enlighten me my friend! Heard off a very good source that he is very busy but quite easy to hit.....always comes to win!!!!

[chris11]

listened to idiots !!!!!!!!!!!!and most people thought he beat burkinshaw and drew with russell..........

[thepocketrocket]

Take it you don't want to say...that is your right, especially if the story ain't good

[thepocketrocket]

Either way I hope Doherty gets back on track......just not tomorrow but good to see him back!!!

[chris11]

doesnt bother me...but he made some bad choices listenin to idiots in bradford....tomoz new start....

[thepocketrocket]

Your right....you have probably got people thinking overtine as to what has gone on though, very vague!!! But at least he is back, and sorted out seemingly

[ridgeback71]

Looks like a potential banana skin for Paul, no one seems to know much about the guy, but losing to russell by a point (albeit russells debut) means he's no mug

[thepocketrocket]

That's exactly what I was thinking...he was due to face Hanna but hanna pulled out. He rang me on Friday, told me about the change, mentioned the name and I though 'if that is the Doherty I remember 1) I thought he was dead and 2) this isn't a 'come back and get your confidence sorted' fight...

This is going to be tricky it seems

[thepocketrocket]

Paul came through with a 39-38 win against Doherty!!!!!!!!!

[Wax On]

It was a good fight, I really enjoyed it, but thought Paul was the clear winner.

thats cos u dont know what your lookin at.........doherty bantam....two years out....won first ,lost second,drew third and lost last....but wold win rematch now rust shook off!!!!!!!!!

[Wax On]

Ok. I was being polite earlier. I actually thought the scoring was generous for Doherty! I thought Ecomomides won every round with cleaner punches, especially on the inside.

He looked happy to walk through Doherty's punches in the later rounds and was the aggressor, so won easily in my opinion!!

But you're probably his mate, so can't judge objectively!

Shaun looked skilled though so hope he carries on and does well!!!

I'd agree with the refs scoring, no way did Economides win the first round, missed with almost everything he threw.

Would also like to add it was a cracking fight
