Round-by-Round: Daniel Dubois vs. Richard Lartey - 27 April 2019

[Fightnight Scores]

Apparently Dubois has "some African steak to devour".

She sounded a bit excited!

[samwbr]

Catterall seems to have been at this stage of his career for about 5 years.

[NoScoutingReports]

This Catterall fight is an absolute WAR!

[skanksta]

Catterall keeps busy with a nice 3 round run out.
Broke Amador's nose with an uppercut.

Good confidence builder for his WT tilt.

He's a decent lad Catterall to be fair & hope he gets his chance against Hooker.

[stellar]

Who will next?

He's a decent lad Catterall to be fair & hope he gets his chance against Hooker.

Doesn't seem to get much of a push from Frank. Does he lack appeal maybe?

Hooker would probably be a big favourite for that one if it comes off.

Hooker would probably be a big favourite for that one if it comes off.

I'd say so, quite like Hooker as a fighter.

Richards v langford on course for worst fight of 2019 so far

[skanksta]

Langford looked big and long on MW but looks chubby and small @ SMW.

It's got better in rounds 3 and 4 but they did nothing for the first round!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 10
The vacant Southern Area Super Middleweight championship
10 x 3 min
Zak Chelli W pts 100-89 Jimmy Smith

The explosive Chelli began in typically combustible fashion, raining in shots with the aim of scoring an early KO, but his landing ratio was not high and he embarked on the second round in a much tidier and compact stance, working off his jab before, again, being tempting into swinging for success. Smith, with a strong amateur pedigree behind him and 7-1 as a pro going into the fight was never going to be a willing fall guy and started to have success of his own in the middle of the second round. The work of both got a bit ragged in the third as Chelli carried on in his hunt for a big finish, while Smith shook his head to discourage him from believing he had enjoyed any success.

Smith landed some telling shots in the fourth but the volume of work generally favoured Chelli. The fifth followed a similar pattern and the halfway stage was reached. Smith enjoyed success with a clubbing right hand that had Chelli hanging on before the bell sounded to end the sixth and a traditionally robust Southern Area scrap was unfolding.

Chelli responded was a barrage of punches in the seventh, continuing to be the aggressor. Two vicious lefts to the body saw Smith’s resistance lessen in eighth and he took a count of eight before doing well to see out the round.

Chelli was bossing the fight as the final decision loomed and it could only go his way in his seventh fight.

[skanksta]

It is a bit rubbish.

Richards looks to have bags of natural talent but can't or won't use it.
Langford is giving his very soul, but (@SMW) has almost no talent.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 11
8 x 3 min International Super Lightweight
Jack Catterall W KO 1.12 R3 Oscar Amador

It was a cagey beginning for Catterall in this tune-up fight ahead of his projected mandatory challenge for the WBO world title held by Maurice Hooker. Precise and economical, Catterall dictated the pace with some accurate probing against his Nicaraguan warm-up act, who he was testing to the body with a series of searching hooks.

Catterall was in no particular hurry and probably looking to make the most of his ring time ahead of sterner challenges, but it was not to be when a shot in the third sank Amador to his knees in instalments. The gumshield was spat out and referee Chaz Coakley signalled it was all over.

Fight 12
The vacant Commonwealth and WBO International Super Middleweight championship
Lerrone Richards v Tommy Langford

The first round was a real slow burner as Richards – sporting shorts the colour of a bumble bee – and Langford circled each other with the odd jab extended to keep each other occupied. Langford was showing the more purpose as the second unfolded, but was always wary with Richards being such an accomplished counter puncher.

Richards, starting to show his fast hands, was content to operate on the back foot and the bolder Langford got the more success he was enjoying. The New Malden man was dictating the momentum with the flicking of his jab, with Langford only able to disrupt his rhythm by roughing the stylist onto the ropes.

Hooker will take him easy.

[skanksta]

Richards looks great when Tommy attacks.

[samwbr]

Langford doesn't look in great shape. Last hurrah this I think.

[IrishGuy]

How do you's have it?

[samwbr]

Richards well ahead

[IrishGuy]

He's a real minimalist with his work. He's probably 6-2 up? But he could sweep and stop longford if it were in his mentality, he's purely a boxer.

[IrishGuy]

Langfords legs are gone, that's when you know a fighter is shot. When they just don't appear to have the same balance or co-ordination

[Fightnight Scores]

How do you's have it?

6-2 Richards and the first round even.

Richards 88 - 84 Langford.

Bit of a borefest though.

[Fightnight Scores]

Richards dominated that 10th round. He went for it a bit but then took his foot off the gas a bit. Could probably force a stoppage if he went for it.
