Round-by-Round: WBSS - Taylor vs. Martin / Burnett vs. Donaire - 3 November 2018

[Nightmare Roy]

This is looking like a very good fight

[Nightmare Roy]

Oh fcuk! back injury

[DrDuke]

Damn, it could have been an interesting fight.

[Nightmare Roy]

Gutted for him.

[danconnollyeire]

Why on earth was the ref counting? There wasn’t a knockdown he twisted a muscle

[rd350lc]

He told booth at the end of the previous round he had problems , was shaping up nicely .

[danconnollyeire]

A round 5 TKO it’s being called? I’m lost here

[bigped]

He told booth at the end of the previous round he had problems , was shaping up nicely .

Minute I heard that I put £100 on Donaire at 6/1 got my money back from backing Williams

[tobyh5]

Why on earth was the ref counting? There wasn’t a knockdown he twisted a muscle

because it is the rules?

Same as when Floyd took a knee when he bust a hand.

[ShadrachSimmo]

A round 5 TKO it’s being called? I’m lost here

Fight was stopped 1 second in to the round as Burnett couldn’t continue.

[sgtcecil]

A round 5 TKO it’s being called? I’m lost here

Not sure but is it because he didn’t answer the bell for the 5th?

[martinmrts]

what would've happened if he retired midway through the round ?

Yeah you take a knee, you get counted? Unless there’s something I’m missing.

I missed him saying that I musta went for a piss. Well done

[rd350lc]

Donaire is a class act

[handsofstone]

Absolute sickener for Burnett, everything on the line lost like that, he was boxing superb too, it was shaping up to be a great fight I thought, Burnett oozes class sometimes, he took a few clean shots when in the corner, Donaire got through some nice punches but for the most part Burnett boxed beautifully on the outside, jabbed well, some nice lead right hands and sharp lefts, he has good upper body movement but takes silly shots, think machismo plays a part when he's relaxed in there

Just a gutting way for any fight to end but for Burnett, he's out the WBSS, lost his title and unbeaten record as well as a couple of nice paydays, seemed the back went as he threw that right hand, fvck know what Foster was playing at issuing a count

Edit- just read the explanations for the count, sorry Howard

[DrDuke]

Two fights prior to this one were boring and went the distances. Burnett-Donaire was finally starting as a good bout, but it was over that early due to the injury.

[TheLeprechaun]

Burnett is not an exciting fighter. His performances vs Haskin and the last fight were horrible to watch. I am delighted he lost and is out of the tournament. At least Donaire goes in and gives it a go. Burnett will come to stink the joint out every time.

[DrDuke]

Btw I'd say, Donaire started the fight better, his shots looked more damaging.

x2

[Bigdogsnose]

These two are huge LWW's.

[lazboy]

How stiff is this bloke he keeps trying to shake out his arms. No good, energy draining holding such a stiff guard.

[Nightmare Roy]

Martin isn't doing anything, gonna be a shut out this.

[Boxerbeetle]

Martin looking like a mini Jeff Lacy at the moment.
