Not good form stealing the belt after losing the fightslapbangwhallop wrote:just had a text from Kevin, weigh in went well and he tipped in at a pound lighter than Sykes. He is feeling good and relaxed and ready to take the title tonight.

That's fair enough, you're catering for an Irish audience on that site so it works.
I can't help being a smart arse Len....it's in the blood. Ta ta....
You may note Sykes vs Morris was not covered by that site, why ?......because it had nothing to do with Irish boxing.
I didn't bother my time watching the Champions League or Heiniken Cup finals this year but I'm sure ITV and Sky gave a nice neutral position for them. Now had an English team been involved in either do you feel this would be the case ?, or would you expect that analysts and Commentators would call the game from the English team's point of view, using phrases such as 'what we hope to see from x is', because this is what I would of expect and to be honest I don't see any problems with that either.
it's Irishboxing.com, of course it's going to mainly give the story from the Irish fighters side of view, the people they are catering for are mainly Irish and they will predominantly want the Irish side of things.
As for the fight itself, I think it'll be close but I have a feeling Sykes will edge a close decision leaving O'Hara contemplating will he ever make the step up to title level.

If you read my post again you've just copied what I said and for some reason argued with it?!
I wonder if there is a shortage of referees at that level?Deno1986 wrote:Bloody hell, Dave Parris judging again. The BBBC obviously just don't care.
There was a show on recently, can't remember what it was but it was definitely on Sky and there were 2/3 young referees doing the fights on the undercard and they looked really sharp. One of them was a tall skinny lad and the other was a small coloured lad with cornrows. They are probably just not fully qualified to judge maybe. Anybody could score a fight better than Parris - I don't like to put down someone making a living and wouldn't wish anyone out of a job but the sooner Parris reaches 65 the better it will be for the spor in Britain.Asterix wrote:I wonder if there is a shortage of referees at that level?Deno1986 wrote:Bloody hell, Dave Parris judging again.

Thats the sole reference to the fight itself on this forum!slapbangwhallop wrote:Fair play to Sykes tonight - the fitter, slicker, quicker fighter on the night made his physical advantages work for him.
Maybe because it was such a poor card?whicker wrote:Thats the sole reference to the fight itself on this forum!slapbangwhallop wrote:Fair play to Sykes tonight - the fitter, slicker, quicker fighter on the night made his physical advantages work for him.
Funny.
Seemed a few months ago the forum always had at least one or two active round by round threads at least.

Ok, here we go....
GARY Sykes is gearing up for the pasting he will give Kevin "The Monobrow" O'Hara with a few pints and an ice lolly.
"He poses no threat and his gym is like an old barn," said Five-Star Sykes, who, in terms of ability, makes Ray Leonard look more like Ray Quinn :)
The odds of 345-1 for O'Hara are generous, so put your house on our Gary.....
There, no probs......
