If I was pushed, if I couldn't have the draw, I'd pick Robinson, but it was that sort of fight, depends what you like, so no argument.

Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
Cracking fight Markham probably just about edged it,Robinson is uber tough though
Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
Yep, I would love to see a rematch - looks like Markham wants to move on thoughNeil Gee wrote:If I was pushed, if I couldn't have the draw, I'd pick Robinson, but it was that sort of fight, depends what you like, so no argument.

Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
This has been a very enjoyable card, Boy Jones impressed me and the Markham fight was a great dust up. I hope BN crack on with regular cards next year involving there young kids - Yearde, Jones Jnr, Benn etc

Markham won 4 drew 1 got a 10-8.
Robinson won 5 drew 1 -1.
Had the overall impression Markham was winning and he had the crowd, so close decision is fine with me.
X2 on the rematch

Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
Skeete by ko he is getting better each time cant see thain having any impact on skeete. Wasn't his biggest fan in the past but fair play to him could be world champ in 2 years
Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
I don't know much about him but he looks like he can get tagged and marked up quite easily, even at an early stage at proNeil Gee wrote:Sahota keeps failing to show his much vaunted ability.rossij8 wrote:Sahota fans noisy, lots of empty seats after fight finishes
Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
Unfortunately - from a fan's pov - this is a bout between 2 counter punchers. It got better in the 3rd when Thaine came into it a bit.ThereByTheGrace wrote:Skeete by ko he is getting better each time cant see thain having any impact on skeete.

Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
It'll open up soon lads Thain has to come to win eventually
Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
48 47 Thain
Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
It's an interesting test for Skeete for sure. How good will Thaine be going into the later rounds? He's done better than I expected so far tho I've got S 2 up.rossij8 wrote:Sometimes if in the mood, these fights are quite nice to watch - enjoying thisNeil Gee wrote:Unfortunately - from a fan's pov - this is a bout between 2 counter punchers.ThereByTheGrace wrote:Skeete by ko he is getting better each time cant see thain having any impact on skeete.

Say it every time but Skeete is a joy to watch.

Re: Bradley Skeete vs John Thain
Too easy for skeete. He is very good at exploiting mistakes from the opponent his jab is excellent. Very careful and clever boxer but you cant allow skeete time to think very rarely has thain tried to go in the inside to rough him up
