Sexton-Olubamiwo 13th Jan - inc. some undercard spoilers

[the truth]

what a piss take, how can it go to cards in a non title fight!!!

[the truth]

No one from the Board will come on and explain why it went to the cards in a non title fight. Pretty poor that

Because those are the rules that have been in place for about a year now.

That piece was done months before it got changed but I think it's accurate.

oh i see fair enough

[MightyWarrior]

Larry looked much improved, showed a decent defence there. Now he's got that tricky first fight back out of the way, he can give it a real shot this year. Make or break.

Who's his very intense cornerman ?

Rawling tried a couple of lame jokes about Larry serving time, which showed a lack of class. Enzo put him right though.

i had a bet on the fight not to go the distance? have i won this bet?

[exittored]

Shane will win this fight. I said it, it must be true.

Still think that?

[ThereByTheGrace]

Super shot -Shane did well to survive there

[exittored]

Good fight so far.

Keep the faith.

Shane doing very well in 2nd.

[Craig14]

Good fight so far.

alot more interesting than Williams previous fight.

[exittored]

Shane needs to throw more uppercuts...thats the key for him in this fight.

[exittored]

Mcphillbin won 3rd.

I have it McPhill 2rds to 1.

[the truth]

neither of these guys should be fighting for british, should be dickinson, askin or dunstan in there battling it out

If this ruling has been changed, they should probably consider updating the rules of boxing they have on their website.

There's no if about it. It was changed. And yes, they should.

[exittored]

Williams wins 4th.

2-2

[Craig14]

Williams wins 4th.

2-2

what about the knockdown?

[el_grande_mauro_mina]

So Shinny Bayaar should have kept his title vs Paul Edwards on a technical draw - oh hang on... it is at the referees discretion!

[exittored]

Fights gone a bit downhill.

tough 5th rd to score as nothing much happened but will give it to Williams.

3-2 williams.

[damianhucker1]

ive got mcphilbin vs williams level after 5

[dondada]

So Shinny Bayaar should have kept his title vs Paul Edwards on a technical draw - oh hang on... it is at the referees discretion!

From memory, the rule came in effective January 2011. So had the fight happened three weeks later, yes, he would have kept his belt.

what about the knockdown?

Just scoring rds at moment and then add it all up at end.

Fair dos. Do you know how they went about informing licence holders of the change? Like I say, the rules on their website do not concur with what your piece sets out; which may help explain away the confusion.

Also, the rule hasn't been enforced - I bet my dinner money that tonights fight was the first time the rule has been enforced.

[plymouthskinhead]

I never knew fights went to the scorecard in an 8 rounder.

Larry showed some neat skills in there - nice one!

Are you serious? He was lunging in and turning his head away as he jabbed. Thought that was a shocker, not impressed with his defensive skills either. He even said after he'd sparred better.

So, according to your article in July the 2010 - the law wasn't imminent?
