Picture the scene 3 seconds left and its 3-3 - Smith has him on the ropes and bang lands one and gets it 4-3 - very much deserved as well 30-27 in Prizefighter terms won all 3 rounds comfortably.

2ND Semi final is Gallagher from Northern Ireland against the Indian favourite Dilbag Singh - very tough ask for the lad but its been a great day so far - can we have a surprise?

Stalker vs Taylor will be a cracker

I really cant wait for that one, I may be totally biased but Taylor has been the most impressive in my opinion and I fancy him to take it. Shame on Gallagher fighting an Indian but well done to Calum Smith fought well and throw some really nice uppercuts

2nd semi Gallagher level 1-1 with Singh at the end of the first - honestly if body shots scored the Irish guy would be about 10-1 up he has thrown the Indian around the ring and into the ropes and launched into attack after attack without any score - crazy

Gallagher wins 5-4 but was out on his feet that last round was so hard to watch but he is there great result and big upset

Gallagher v Smith - final - Smith for me but what a day for British boxing so far

I dont know if Smith will deal with the pressure Gallagher brings, should be an intresting one

Light Heavy next - Teenager Tommy McCarthy from Northern Ireland faces Makonjio from Kenya - winnable fight for the Irishman -Makonjio is rang and strong but nothing special McCarthy can be too precise at times needs to let his hands go more - here we go!

GlobalBox · Post by **GlobalBox** » 11 Oct 2010, 05:32

1-1 At the end of the first neither man wants to lead off and little happening at present

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 11 Oct 2010, 05:33

Im surprised the Kenyian isnt making McCarthry lead with the jab more and countering with an over-hand right as McCarthy throws his jab short and drops it before bring it up and is open to the right counter

Don't worry about Callum with pressure.... He's 6ft 3" and Welterweight and loves pressure fighters.

(I meant to write "And loves lads coming on to him" - but this site has a filthy mind)

2-2 end of the second McCarthy needs to feint with the left and throw the right over Makonjio low left hand - there are points to be had there but both men edgy at present

Come on Tommy mc!!

Haha it'll be an intresting fight, best of luck to him

You must of been nervous as hell in that last 10 seconds in his fight

Agreed no-one has really used feints really affectively, the Kenyan is so much less effective on the front foot. I really thought he should of countered McCarthy's jab though cause he was there to be hit when he threw it.

GlobalBox · Post by **GlobalBox** » 11 Oct 2010, 05:41

McCarthy went left hook happy and picked up the points - wins 9-4 into the final another Norther Irishman - well done lads he will face the winner of Johnson and Asare which is Scotland V Wales and next up... What a morning for the home countries

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 11 Oct 2010, 05:44

Holy Moly, I think a body shot just scored

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 11 Oct 2010, 05:48

I see a stoppage here Johnson is fighting excellent and the body shots are taking it out of him, great advice in the Scotland corner

GlobalBox · Post by **GlobalBox** » 11 Oct 2010, 05:48

5-1 Johnson at end of the first - Asare is uncomfortable in there now and would not be surprised to see a stoppage - he has lost two points for persistant holding and the body attack from Johnson although not scoring is breaking him up

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 11 Oct 2010, 05:51

Johnson looks like he could really do a job as a pro!
