I meant to say what world ranking does a European champion get, anyone know?

WBC I think

Pretty sure the WBC always rank the EBU champ in their top 15.

[Tarkus]

He seriously said that?

Paulie's been stopped like 4 or 5 times.

I clearly heard it but still could not believe it.
Fairness sake though these guys usually do a good job researching fighters records.

[Neil Gee]

Great round Egg. 4-2.

My understanding is that EU champ is allowed to challenge for World title.

[Boxing Prospect]

Thrilling stuff there!

[gilgamesh]

Awesome action in the 7th!!!

5-2 Eggington...he damn near had him stopped there.

[Tarkus]

What a war of a round that was. Champ barely survives 7th.

[Boxing Prospect]

Rodriguez got cheen! Looked shaken as fornicate but cheeeeen

Cheers, you're right, just checked on their site, Rodriguez is ranked 12. Eggington was 11 before this fight.

[Neil Gee]

Christ what a slug out! Great round.

[rossij8]

Watching both cards

The referee would have stopped the Eggington fight on the Leeds card, at no point did he look like jumping in at any point

One of the best refs in Europe from what I've seen in the past

[Neil Gee]

give the round even after Egg's late onslaught

[gilgamesh]

6-3 Eggington

[gilgamesh]

Surprising and sudden end, right as it looked like Rodriguez was getting himself back into the fight a little

TKO 10 Sam Eggington

[Boxing Prospect]

Gavin vs Rodriguez?

[Neil Gee]

Phew! Great punch Egg. Flattened.

[BillyTKid]

I'm always amazed at how fantastically fit eggington is versus how ill he looks.

[Tangerine]

quality knockout

[Neil Gee]

Eggy had to win to stay on course to keep his promise to Paulie Malignaggi that he would win a world title. I think it's accurate - unlike the commentary earlier - what Paulie said that he had only lost to world champions before Egg. It wouldn't do to let Paulie down.

[Stuarty]

Brutal finish from Eggington there. He really is great to watch. All action. Him and Jamie Conlon must be two of the most exciting domestic fighters going just now!

I'm watching both cards which isn't feckin easy!

Barry "brought him into the world"...erm...father son?...>_>

[rd350lc]
