Prospect Reece Cartwright
Leeds prospect 17-0 stopped in 1st round last night. Didnt see the fight as I was at work, but is this loss damaging?
Re: Prospect Reece Cartwright
Usually there's video on BBTV after the fight so expect that in a few days.
On the same show Martin Bakole did Dominic Akinlade in one too. Bakole is Illunga Makabu's brother or cousin or something. Perhaps an interesting up and comer in the Heavyweight division.

Re: Prospect Reece Cartwright
Martin is his brother and let me tell you puncher very very hard but even better he is so quick
Re: Prospect Reece Cartwright
Wow, that's a massive upset. A might of mine said he's watched him train a few times and was really singing his praises, his is/was the IBF 'Youth World Champion' too.
Freak result perhaps?

Re: Prospect Reece Cartwright
Weird stoppage, he seemed to be recovering. He looked gone before like, was this in Manchester?
Re: Prospect Reece Cartwright
Martin Ilunga only scraped a MD against professional opponent Ferenc Zsalek which doesn't say much. He also went the distance with the Pole who Okolie and Allen KO'd in the first.Stuffs wrote:Certainly gonna check him out Billy, had heard good things.

The win over Aklinlade probably says more about the latter.
Re: Prospect Reece Cartwright
well the opponent definately came to win, he was throwing hooks like the 'wild man of borneo'
the stoppage looked a bit premature but reece had been hurt a few times so benefit of doubt to the ref. its the kind of stoppage an away fighter normally gets against them. reece will learn more from it than half a dozen knock over jobs. he will learn to box and not just try to bang people out.the guy needed keeping at range and picking off, not trading at close quarters.

Re: Prospect Reece Cartwright
Seemed like a fine stoppage to me. Almost as soon as he showed any signs of regrouping, Cartwright was hurt again.
