The official Brook v Dan fight night discussion thread

[Tarkus]

57-57. But McDonnell is just too big. It shows an importance of weight management in the modern boxing.

[Horse]

67-66 McDonnell

[MightyWarrior]

nick Halling is a major league dork

77-75 McDonnell

[jameswilson]

tell me when you see morales v pacquiao you diddnt think what pride these men have

Yeah but in a post fight interview they asked Morales what he thought of Barry McGuigan and he said 'who?'

I chucked my sofa out the window and left.

[Neil Gee]

I've not been keeping score because I keep expecting McDonnell to completely take over. He has all the tools to dismantle this guy but he's not managing to do it.

[Counter-puncher]

Brilo- when McDonnell dug in and took the last 2.rounds against Ceja, did you really not see pride in that? Do you think Manny pacquiao or Morales for that matter knows who, say, emile Griffith was? Or bob foster?

the blokes getting punched in the face for your entertainment isn't that enough for you?

as for fighting for his country? You really think in the corner round 12 to come at the end.of a torrid battle some geezers thinking 'i'm tired here but eh, queen and country, cant let the.memory of Winston Churchill down'? If you feel they are fighting for, what did you say, something about blood and country? I strongly suspect.that is a.delusion of your own choosing and that fighters fight for themselves and their family etc and that the idea.of fighting for 60 million strangers is utter bollocks, but to each their own i guess

so much more succinctly than i managed thank you

[Tarkus]

Watts card was so shocking that even Hallings biased ass complained. Fight is close.

When Churchill said 'we shall fight them on the beaches' he was referring to Morales v Pacquiao.

96-95 McDonnell

[Tarkus]

95-95. Yegorov is not doing anything spectacular but still manages to hang in the fight.

hitler was actually a useful lightweight in his day

he overdid it with the home cooking though

[jameswilson]

All the pecker heads saying this was a god awful fight seem to have gone quiet.

He had an advantage though in making weight. He only had one ball. Boom boom

That type of judgment shouldn't be based on what happens. Someone can intentionally try to create a mismatch and it can look as such based on available info even if it doesn't end up being one-sided.

115-114 Yegorov

I cant take any more of these Nick Hallings crap. He cant even tell which fighter is busier.

i don't quite get it, so you'd rather they lied and said 'yeah massive fan of boxing me, student of the game, have been ever since i saw Alan 'six fingers' Atkins beat Reggie 'the ladykiller' Rogers for the central area middleweight title back in '79, big influence on me was Alan being a local boy and all, and as for Reggie what a warrior'

[Horse]

I cant take any more of these Nick Hallings crap. He cant even tell which fighter is busier.

I think Watt might have been worse there.

No man his ignorance and endless overstatements are excruciating. I would fire Watt. Halling I would hang.
