Round-By-Round - Anthony Joshua vs. Eric Molina - December 10th 2016

[Neil Gee]

Conception needs a knockout

[Autobarn]

Ya, strange post

Everyone is talking about being worried about the lads well-being but he's glad to see the savage ending

And beating the 8th best SMW in the UK and probably Smiths 5th best opponent to date, all but guarantees Smith is unquestionably world class and has proven all us doubters wrong?

Bizarre

There was an abundance of negativity about Smith during that fight.

He did nothing wrong, and showed his class throughout followed by a perfect punch ending it (I, like you all, do not like to see anyone hurt).

He will continue to prove many wrong next year by winning a world title.

Well said, too many posters either overaxious or impatient for a quick result, or with a bitchy axe to grind

[Neil Gee]

Good round for Yafai. 8-0.

80-72 Yafai

[brilo33]

how does Jamie Conlan compare with Kal Yafai?

Not the biggest Yafai fan but he smashes Conlan
I'd favour him v butler as well

different style fighters , don't think kal would smash conlan as it would mean it would be scrap which i think would suit colan , kal is to slick for me ,in and out

Sure, maybe there was some negativity about Smith during the fight, but to suggest that he proved people wrong by KTFOing Luke friggin Blackledge is laughable. People were calling for the fight to be stopped precisely so we wouldn't see Blackledge hurt like that.

What were the odds for that fight? Hugely in Smith's favour I'm guessing....and don't criticize any Hearn fighter, or Autobarn will go on about your axe to grind with MR

People rate Zlat just because they don't like Crolla, Parker because they don't like Joshua, and if they dare mention that Callum is looking lackluster it's just another sign of that axe to grind!

Smith was 1/33 to win, 1/9 or so by stoppage

Nobody said that. Haven't we got past that point yet? Are you deliberately misinterpreting that beating Blackledge is proving people wrong?

Well then he really proved everyone wrong with that stoppage!

There was very little negativity. Valid questions were asked as to whether he could step up to world level. He was expected to stop blackledge and he did but is he still improving or has he stopped?

90-81 Yafai

[Neil Gee]

Conception's best round, but I thought Yafai landed the better quality. 9-0.

Nobody said what? We have you mentioning the axe to grind, and sammy posting "Good to see Smith proving several of you wrong with that savage ending"

I know I'm going on about it, but I just find it such a strange post.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Conception is terrible just a tough come forward guy

[Boxing Prospect]

Worst I've ever seen Nica :(

100-89 Yafai

[Neil Gee]

A 10-8 round! That's all Conception needs. What danger can he pose in the last 2?

Smith was 1/33 to win, 1/9 or so by stoppage

Thought it was 1/50 actually same for AJ

Smith will lose his World Title shot because he is not prepared to take the next step up.
He has been fighting duds to prepare him for the best guys in the division.
Smith, Gallagher and Hearn are all to blame...

[Boxerbeetle]

I'm not watching, but Conception sounds awful tonight?
