More of the same, nip and tuck, really difficult to score. I'm not scoring it anyway, no point when you've missed the first 3 rounds.Yes We Can wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 16:24missed the last few rounds, anything of note?

Re: Round-By-Round - George Groves (WBA) vs. Chris Eubank Jr (IBO) - February 17th 2018
wow... did langfords corner suggest he was 5-2 up.... that seems brave as buggery.
Re: Round-By-Round - George Groves (WBA) vs. Chris Eubank Jr (IBO) - February 17th 2018
It's tough to score, but I agree with his corner.
For me, Langford's workrate and desire are stealing him rounds. When Lanford has a good spell, Armfield seems to accept it. When Armfield gets on top, Tommy really gives off how hard he's trying to change it. I reckon all 3 judges will be around 116-112 if (when) it goes the distance.

I have langford winning by 2 or 3 into final round.

Good fight, even if I don't have an opinion as to who wins it, it was an absorbing tussle.

Credit to Langford, thought he boxed well there.
Re: Round-By-Round - George Groves (WBA) vs. Chris Eubank Jr (IBO) - February 17th 2018
Competitive enough to be intriguing without ever really catching fire. Arnfield may well be reproachimg himself for his less than frenetic workrate in the middle rounds. Langford says he is capable of reaching world level but can we really see him living with the likes of Golovkin, Canelo, Saunders, Charlo and Jacobs? It's a resounding no from me I'm afraid

wouldn't mind seeing Langford in with Walter Kautondokwo (WBO no.5) next...

Been good so far but it's a bit disrespectful going straight into two British title fights with no build up whatsoever. Didn't even get to see the introductions in the ring for the Walsh fight.

Good win for Langford and well deserved.
Arnfield will be kicking himself, at times he proved himself the superior boxer but just could stay on top or establish dominance. Very good fight and will do both the world of good.
Lowe looks good.

Kautondokwa faces his biggest test next month in Billi Godoy. Langford versus the winner in an eliminator certainly would make sense.wesshaw1985 wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 16:55 wouldn't mind seeing Langford in with Walter Kautondokwo (WBO no.5) next...

2-1 Lowe.
Walsh displaying some lovely upper body movement now and picking some lovely shots.

I do wish the Walsh brothers would learn not to go back and forth in straight lines. Gervonta Davis found Liam disturbingly easy to hit, largely for that reason, and I can already see the same erroneous trait proving Ryan's undoing in this fight

3-1-1 Lowe.
Walsh not doing enough, to stationary and looking to old man IL when he makes a mistake....not working.

Re: Round-By-Round - George Groves (WBA) vs. Chris Eubank Jr (IBO) - February 17th 2018
This is a good fight.
It's going the same way as the Langford fight.., very close, but IL is (just) nicking it on body language.
He's fighting like this is his world title fight, while Walsh is just fighting his normal fight.
RW 56 - 59 IL thru' 6.
