[Ruthless-RKO]

[skanksta]

This is a great 4th undercard fight.
Lovely "trade-fight" for the British in the Albert Hall.

Be great if anyone scores...

[skanksta]

10-9 to CJ

not match happened but CJ seems more accurate and busy.

[skanksta]

20-18 CJ

Garton put it on him in the 2nd and CJ responded well. CJ 2 up, but Garton looks a lot stronger.

[skanksta]

29-28 Garton pulls one back with his strength.

[skanksta]

4th could go either way.
Garton 'cos he got the crowd excited with the best punch of the round.

38-38

[Ruthless-RKO]

[skanksta]

CJ boxes better from the outside.
48-47 CJ.

Barry Jones agrees. It's surely close.

[skanksta]

CJ 4-2.

I wish I could disagree with Barry, but I can't .

[handsofstone]

I've gave Jenkins everything so far

[skanksta]

Agreeing with Barry again.
It's very close - but Garton's corner getting worried is almost winning CJ the rounds.

5-3 lead for CJ

[NoScoutingReports]

Jenkins is boxing nicely - good footwork and beating Garton to the punch pretty regularly.

[skanksta]

I've gave Jenkins everything so far

Really ?
As in 8-0 ?!

I guess that's possible if you like CJ's style, but seems harsh on The Pexican

[skanksta]

7-2 thru 9.

CJ is pulling away now. Garton is all desperate bull and CJ the relaxed matador.

[NoScoutingReports]

BIG round for Jenkins there, landing right hands at will.

[Coco]

Ive got Jenkins winning it wide, just doing a bit more, out boxing him. I thought this would be a tear up but it's more of a chess match! Garton just isn't doing enough, he has to put it on him.

[skanksta]

Garton is coming on strong, giving his all.
CJ is tying him up and fiddling thru'..

7-4 CJ

[skanksta]

8-4 CJ wins a really good fight.

Garton was much stronger, but he was given a bit of a boxing lesson.

[NoScoutingReports]

8-4 CJ wins a really good fight.

Garton was much stronger, but he was given a bit of a boxing lesson.

Agreed, good fight that. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the best bout of the card to be honest.

[skanksta]

CJ wins by 4,5 and 10 according to the judges.

Seems fair enough.

[ElJefe]

Only caught the last 2 rounds. Looked like a good fight.

119-109, 116-112 and 117-112 all for Jenkins. New British Champion.

[jamamb]

interesting, i always thought jenkins was a guy who had the talent to do better then what his results showed, maybe he got it in line, or maybe he just was at the right place at the right time vs a weak champ

[stellar]

When will start Dubois?

[skanksta]

When will start Dubois?

Should be 9pm after this floater..
