Josh Warrington vs Hisashi Amagasa RBR

[Tarkus]

Selby a total boss.

And he has a point. Warrington is too basic to trouble Selby.

[Boxerbeetle]

120-107 is a joke of a scorecard, surely a mistake??

Regardless, Selby will annihilate Warrington.

[Horse]

120-107 is a joke of a scorecard, surely a mistake??

Possibly the worst single scorecard that I've seen.

[bripez]

Just gutted about those scorecards,foreign judges tarnishing our reputation

Yeah, that's right - it's Johnny Foreigners fault.

I wonder what action the fine independent upstanding chaps at the Board will take ?

[Neil Gee]

Is Stephen the oldest Smith brother?

Don't think Warrington fancies it TBH and to be fair to him he knows he is not at that level , could be a nice earner for him tho'

No.

I'll bet u 100 quid then

No.

Horse ur a rocket!

[Deno1986]

Any result from the Isaac Chamberlain fight? Seen him decking Henshaw in the background as the ringside analysis was being wrapped up.

[keirw]

Judging was terrible tonight (Warrington somehow won 13 rounds? Really?).
But there were two very very good fights tonight, I must admit I expected both visitors to win but I don't mind being wrong from time to time.

As good as tonights fights were I didn't see anything from Hall or Warrington that would trouble Haskins or Selby respectively, but they have earned their shots after tonight

Glad I was there for a genuine battle featuring exciting changes of momentum. Wanted to get a friend of mine into boxing, show him some value for money - in the wake of the easy recent wins by AJ and Kell Brook.

Was surprised at the scoring because Amagasa bossed the middle rounds, won the last - and the first few were nip and tuck.

Warrington won rounds 9-11 pretty big - really jolted Amagasa at times - but couldn't follow through.

Warrington - and Hall - were nothing really special as they faced world class opponents moving up in weight, coming to their country - and it was slightly disappointing to see both apparently, concede the final round of their fights.

If we can forget about the scoring, that was a proper fight. It was no Brodie-Chi 1 but it was a fine fight. Probably a great learning experience for Warrington who threw some beautiful punches but needed more volume and variety.

Let's not forget Selby made some mistakes in his recent fight. Think they can get together and have a good 'un.

Amagasa wasn't moving up in weight, he moved down to face Rigondeaux after issues with Wake left the opportunity at his feet (the back story behind all of that is rather peculiar and almost lead to Wake retiring)

What is the back story??

Was was supposed to fight Paypa in late 2014 on Fuji TV, who had backed him through out his career to that point. Kyoei tried to go behind his back and get him to fight Rigo fight on TBS. He agreed to face Rigo until he found out it'd involve fighting on TBS, in Osaka. As a result Amagasa got the fight, Wake completely fell out with his team and kept away from the Koguchi gym. Stating that he was on the verge of retiring if things weren't run through him first,the head of Koguchi gym was understandably pissed (considering they'd backed him from his debut) and it seemed like that was going to be the end of him

In early 2015 things were sorted with his gym, he had the Paypa bout. That bout was supposed to be followed by a bout with Rigo,a bout that Gary Hyde had made, under the same terms as the original agreement with Kyoei...then Caribe decided it wasn't a good fight, or food pay or whatever, so so essentially they started Rigo from a Wake fight in summer 2015...and from there the relationship between Hyde and Caribe\Rigo broke down completely.

When people talk about Rigo being ducked, they don't seem realise his team are cowboys.

[rossij8]

If Warrington could bang would be a 50/50

At the moment its an 85/15 Selby

[Autobarn]

Thanks for clarifying about Amagasa and his weight.

However he'd only competed to my knowledge at a good level at 122 - where he faced Rigondeaux in that very good fight and also in another good battle, Ryol Li Lee in that revenge win.

I think Warrington is a solid and strong boxer and will have a good fight with Selby, who is often open and off balance.

[smiling assassin]

Can't see how anyone is giving Warrington a chance against Selby. There's levels and Selby is at least a couple above. Be interested to see the betting mark up if this fight gets made. Selby should be at least 1-4 on, but the way people are hyping Warrington think you might get a chance to earn some readies
