Sky Sports Hull card

[brilo33]

think jones is winning

[Horse]

Until today Burns had not won a lightweight fight for over 2 years.

Doesn't matter.

[Ronners]

6/5 skybet

[Boxing Prospect]

I must confess these outdoor arenas look good once it gets dark.

The early fights when it's light, it looks a bit odd.

Really strange watching fights in Thailand fought out doors in the middle of the day

also...the US place where they hold them out doors (Stubhub?) ALWAYS seems to provide great fights

[jameswilson]

Moving away from the Rose fight - what were those Lightweight rankings from Sky. I think it is very difficult to still have Ricky Burns at #1 given that we have a WBO champion - and a guy who beat then man (clearly) who beat Derry Mathews.

Burns deserves the No. 1 spot.

Until today Burns had not won a lightweight fight for over 2 years.

Who's no1 supermiddleweight? That guy who hasn't fought at the weight for more than 2 years?

[digzee]

6/5 skybet

Not quite as good as I was hoping for.

[squared circle]

Kal Yafai must love the pecking order within Matchroom.

Bumped back to 2nd row whilst brooks missus and old man get prime spots on front row!!

[ILikeBeer]

After the bell.

Take a point off, ref.

Doesn't matter.

Off course it does - if Roy Jones fought Danny Williams at Heavyweight and won - would he move into the top 10.

When Ricky has been losing and fighting at Light Welter in the last 2 years, fighters like Flanagan and Crolla have been beating (okay not officially for Crolla) at world level. Flanagan has also beaten Ormond, who beat Derry Matthews who has also done well in these last 2 years.

stu was just making a statement. Jesus, I feel sorry for your lass..... oh wait, you haven't got one.

[Neil Gee]

Rose is putting a lot of work into these early rounds. Don't think he has any choice though, Jones is too awkward and strong to be kept on the end of Rose's jab all night.

[stujones]

Shocking refereeing there.

Yeah and I bet the guy in the 3rd row hates the guy in the 2nd row too....

6/5 skybet

Price came in after the second

[brilo33]

good fight, have it evens

[Tangerine]

3-2 Jones

[squared circle]

I think brooks cousins only get third row, so Kal should be counting his blessings

I'd like to be anywhere in crowd for this fight, top scrap. Pick em.

[Horse]

Off course it does - if Roy Jones fought Danny Williams at Heavyweight and won - would he move into the top 10.

That's nothing like the same situation.

Just put a few quid on a draw, this fight could go either way.

You cannot keep a fighter at #1 in a division he hasn't won in 2 years. Especially when others have moved onto world level themselves in this period.

[Neil Gee]

I make it 4-2 to Rose but with half the fight to go Rose better have a lot left coz he can't hurt Jones.

[handsofstone]

Cracking fight,Rose playing Jones at his own game, he's not using much lateral movement so hopefully Brian's engine doesnt pack out

[Tarkus]

I think brooks cousins only get third row, so Kal should be counting his blessings

I'd like to be anywhere in crowd for this fight, top scrap. Pick em.

Somewhere bit far away perhaps, dont want to get splattered with all that blood.

[Horse]

Yes, I can.

Neither Crolla or Flanagan are proven world level fighters.

[stujones]

Neither is Burns anymore at Lightweight.

One thing Crolla did was proven himself world class with his draw against Perez.
