Josh Warrington 5th round TKO

Pathetic matchmaking from Hearn.

He gives up the British title and then fights a chump like that.

Fighting in a world title eliminator with Dennis Tubieron soon so no complaints about a stay busy fight

[brian13]

I'll message the guys requesting some fishing tackle once I get it ie once the footage starts.

Edit - C5 footage starts at 10pm.

Abraham's TV company in Germany has the rights to GGG. There will definitely not be a clash and a fair gap between the fights.

Tubieron doesn't look very good either.

I'd rather have seen him fight Ryan Walsh.

He's not very good, despite wins over Doliguez and Shiino, but it's a step forward.

It's a typical Hearn style 'step forward'.

It's dull and I'd much prefer good domestic or European title fights for him than these obscure international opponents.

Simion who gave Selby his toughest fight is perfect for him right now plus he is 8 in the WBC

Tubieron wasn't ranked by then when announced.

[Andrew]

Just turned boxing back on ?

Has this fight been any good doesn't look that bad atm

Simion would be a good opponent.

Nobodies like Tubieron with phony inflated world rankings are garbage, but unfortunately Hearn loves that type of opponent.

Busy from the Italian, better quality from the German. Even, but will be a UD for home fighter :)

So did anyone see Fury v Rudenko. Best undercard fight of the day and you would think they show it.

Silvestre vs Budler looks much better on paper...fans from ringside said Fury was dominant but dull

[Tangerine]

Got it closer than 3 rnds to the german,think the Italian has boxed pretty clever albeit with his hands completely down at all times.enjoyable fight

I was not entirely sure he beats that Rudenko guy let alone dominate. So well done kid.

[Andrew]

Saurland known for bad under cards watched the last few of that good stuff

[jimb0d]

Should be close, gave the Italian 4 clearly and a few very close rounds.

[Tangerine]

Got the German by 2.cracking scrap gave it everything there

Good omen for Smith!

...so if Smith loses a closes one are we still going to see Sky bitch about German judging?...

[Finn]

Do your practice in the gym not live on TV. I don't follow boxing to watch someone carry their opponent. Price isn't going to win any fans this way, he may as well stay in Germany they'll put up with that boring crap!

Couldn't agree more. But how much of that rant was due to your bet not coming in?

a fair amount, however it is something i am really against. Its an entertainment sport at the end of the day, the excuses macklin and co were making about Price getting some rounds in to help with his rebuilding was absolute tosh. Walking around a ring doing nothing does not gain any experience or build stamina, if theres a high output in a fight and one fighter is deliberately not knocking the other fighter out in order to work on stamina and new tactics then thats just about acceptable (providing theres a tempo to the fight).

In that fight price had costa jr wobbled in the first minute from a pathetic looking jab, in cases like that you dont then back off and not throw anything for 5/6 rounds just to get a few rounds of just being in a ring under your belt; boring the paying public. It makes a mockery of the sport.

Plus its a sport which is heavily bet on.

it though smith lost fairly clearly last time by a couple of rounds. It was the stupid scoring on the cards that gave him a case for saying he was robbed abroad, if they had all scored him 2 rounds down i dont think he would have been getting the rematch.

[Neil Gee]

That was an unexpected decision. Thought Koelling won that.

[watsupdoc87]

Hughie Fury won by UD

[Neil Gee]

George Groves takes over commentary from Jim Watt. Is this an omen for the future?
