Round-by-Round: Anthony Yarde vs. Travis Reeves - 8 March 2019

[handsofstone]

Great fight but a clear win for Jenkins, 120-109 for me, I suppose there was a couple of early rounds that were close but I preferred the better work of Jenkins and in the later rounds when Garton come out strong he faded and allowed Jenkins to take the play away, best ive seen Jenkins box by a mile, I never thought he had this sort of composed mature performance in him, excellent jab, form the 1st round he was nailing Garton clean with the right hand over the top and as the fight wore on the more he controlled the fight, countering Garton with the right hand time and again and he broke Garton down in the later rounds, only Garton's bravery kept him in the fight

I would say Garton looked the stronger but he just wasn't able to show it enough, he looked caught between styles, wasn't as aggressive as he should've been and was outworked all night, he had some nice single shots but when it Jenkins was on the outside it was comfortable and Garton couldn't work up close enough and was a sitting duck for long spells

[skanksta]

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

I think weak champ is right.
These English/British-level guys can all beat each other on any given day.
Garton had a bad day at the office and CJ a good one.

[skanksta]

Really is a lovely venue.

I remember my best mate won the school music prize - 2 tickets to The Royal Albert Hall.
We went to the wrestling ! In 1983 ! It was awesome and when the school found out they gave him 2 more tickets to Mendelssohn's concerto or whatever and we went again and had to sit thru' that.
We just couldn't enjoy that at 11.

Well that didn't take long

[skanksta]

Chiraz should get better with age...

[paddy chavez]

Poor rod junior

[skanksta]

Gorman fighting Maldonado next.
Should be watchable.

Presumably we get Triple D on the undercard and that fight continues to build nicely for the year end.

Meanwhile, let's hope we don't need the scorecards for this - will be disappointing if we do.

[Monzon83]

Hamza looks nearer 6 3 than the given height of 6 1. Can anyone confirm his actual height?

[ElJefe]

Dubois starting in a minute.

[fizzjambo]

DD is a proper unit isn’t he?

[fizzjambo]

Barry’s right enough though, he does push his shots a bit. RC seems to be feeling them a bit given his facial expressions but DD doesn’t convince me as an explosive puncher per say

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Ruthless-RKO]

He could have easily gotten up. Was his trainer telling him to stay down or something?

[ElJefe]

Cracking finish from Dubois in the 2nd.

[NoScoutingReports]

As soon as Cojanu showed some ambition to throw shots early I felt as though he may be in trouble, he's a good spoiler but trying to trade with a younger, more explosive opponent like Dubois wasn't going to end well for him. Fair play to DD though, nice finish.

"European Champion"

[skanksta]

She's not there for her knowledge of the legitimacy of the WBO European title !

She's not there for her knowledge of the legitimacy of the WBO European title !

In all fairness she's not first by a long way of referring to that trinket as a European title

[Rob3_142]

Yeah Cojanu no test. On to the next!

[skanksta]

Dubois vs Gorman fight tomorrow and they've both had a good camp....

Who wins ?

[skanksta]

Yeah Cojanu no test. On to the next!

KO2 vs Cojanu is the same as Ruiz and Oritz and better than Parker and Gorman.

I know it's not always that simple, but it's a good result.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Williams being boo’d?

[skanksta]

This looks a mismatch.

Williams can surely win every round and stop Mullender in the 2nd half to put the icing on the cake.

Where did they find Mullender from?

He’s gonna make Williams look like Mayweather at this rate.
