Just added on my list to Santa - a satellite dish and laptop. :)

A dish wouldn't help us over here in the U.S. It's not being shown here. I am watching the Duke/Texas game and the Williams/A-Force card at once though......

What were the result of the Dunne fight?

dve3333 · Post by **dve3333** » 10 Dec 2005, 17:53

Dunne stopped Leondraliu by bodyshots in the 6th dropped him once and dropped him for good 30 seconds later. Leondraliu got up but gestured he didnt want to go on

Leondraliu...is this guy any good or was this more practice for Dunne?

Im doing a round by round on the current scene page for anyone who is intrested.

Not bad but mainly a journeyman he had fought at light welter a few years ago where he was stopped by guys like M'Baye and Abdullaev

Dunne was good though, shut him out, boxed at long range initially and then around the forth he started to step in a bit and picked his shots nicely and threw together some nice combinations. Looked a different fighter to the one who fights in Dublin, more patience, maybe he lets the home crowd get to him too much which pressures him into mistakes. Had a beautiful left hook to the body in this fight that never failed to land.

AA Vs Ikeke was a really exciting fight to watch. Starting to become a AA fan, he is an exciting fighter who packs a punch and is building a good resume with wins over Eastman and Ikeke. What was with that entrance though? Bunch of chicks painted blue and dressed as smurfs. Don't get me wrong, I've often fantasised about that smurf chick but it was just bizarre to see.

DiBella have already called Sauerland to congratulate with the result and they talked about a Taylor vs Abraham fight.

Daruf · Post by **Daruf** » 10 Dec 2005, 19:23

The man behind the smurfs theme song is called Father Abraham in Holland/Germany (not sure about the other language versions)
Arthur Abraham kinda adopted that apparently ... he just thinks its a nice change from all the other overly serious entrances.

Freiheit · Post by **Freiheit** » 10 Dec 2005, 19:48

ARD showed highlights from the Dunne fight (But didnt show highlights from two Sauerland fighters fights)

Manos de Oro · Post by **Manos de Oro** » 10 Dec 2005, 20:48

Nice coverage guys. I knew Ikeke would mix it up around halfway, get through to about the 8th. Surprised he went so soon - Abraham could be a real threat to any of the main players in the division.

Have to say, Eastman might be more in the picture now again. Very very surprised at this result.

Taylor will now stay away from Abraham like from plag

Actually Taylor did avoided Eastman and Ikeke so may be Taylor not that good as all this hype around him.
Taylor gets hit (Slow Bernard hit him at will, but Bernard had no power), and if he is going to get hit by Abraham it will be finoto for Taylor.

Eastman was robbed by the judges. He had Arbraham running most of the fight.

Thought the decision was tight but fair, it was Eastmans' for the taking. People said that about the Joppy fight also, but in this one - Eastman was definately winning, and winning well.
