Looks like Sky wont be showing the Shiro/Lopez rematch, wouldn't have minded catching that one

I don't get why. The broadcast is 90 mins.

Hope they do as the first was a good fight.

What I hope they do is.. After the McDonnell-Inoue fight, show at least some highlights.. a 12 Rounder including interviews will take us to 2pm. They'll have another half hour to kill.

Doesn't seem this is on the wireless is that correct? Could have carried on working if it was whilst listening. Looks like I will just have to drain the battery of my phone on skygo instead

Updates would be much appreciated!

[tigermoth87]

Stuck on the tube. Assume McDonnell is delayed if the other hasn't started yet? Good news for me.

Saying on FB that Mcdonnells fight day weight is 144 ! surely that cant be right !

agreed

[jamamb]

117 to 144 would be unheard of for me. and he looked like a stick, even at 5'10 im not sure i really see him weighing that much

[tigermoth87]

Finding a .... fishing rod.... for this one is a pain in the arse. Anyone care to help?

[keithmoonhangover]

Any updates would be greatly appreciated.

[rhino222]

all over...jamie stopped in the 1st

[rhino222]

down twice, pinned on the ropes, shipping big shots. decent stoppage but a shame. i never saw that coming.

[tobyh5]

Jesus. Absolute annihilation

Body shots from the off were meaty and the writing was on the wall. That boy hits with rocks

Commentators immediately blaming Jamie being weight drained.

When our guys lose there is an excuse for something being wrong with them rather than it being something superior from the other guy.

When our guys win it is always because they are better

Struggling to think of one of our more proven fighters getting steamrollered like that. Inoue can certainly hit.

But McDonnell, you have to say, was poor.

You can't blame weight when you don't last 2 minutes.

I think he's finished.

No doubt in his prime, McDonnell was a world class fighter. Beating Ceja and Kameda twice is proof of that.

But he should have lost to, let's face it, a very average fighter in Solis and now got destroyed in a round. He's shot, and I think the fact since the Solis fight he only had the rematch with Solis which ended early hid that from everyone.

[rhino222]

im guessing we will hear the 'caught cold' line but maybe true, but the japanese fella can certainly whack. i thought the obvious plan early doors against a banger was stick and move, let him get tired for 4 rounds then get to work. but jamie never even looked like exercising those tactics.

[tigermoth87]

My predictions of Jamie raising his game, controlling the fight with his jab and getting a close points decision were slightly off

Anybody who bets, if I call a fight go for the opposite.

They're not making excuses - Inoue getting plenty of props (as he should) - but McDonnell looked half-dead and surely weight had something to do with such a disastrous performance.

Could be tigermoth, now you say that.

Wow, I came here to see, when it starts, and here it is.
