Round-by-Round: Anthony Yarde vs. Dec Spelman - 12 September 2020

[skanksta]

Ben Davison is Taylor's trainer !?

I did not know that.
Controversial opinion - I think Davison will turn out to be a top trainer.

[margaret thatcher]

I am not sold by him, Fury did way better without him using different tactics and he was in bjs corner for bills worst performance

a matey strength and conditioning coach with connections, but one of the worlds best boxing trainers? not sure

[Neil Gee]

234 pro fights> McCauley looks well on it

[Black Sam Bellamy]

I think it will be a long time before Ed Harrison is interviewed on live TV again.

when Bunce tells you you're going on a bit...

Had two goes at selling his diabetic lollies.

[Neil Gee]

Frankham clearly won both but the second much scrappier overall

Both true, but not the whole story imo.
He may well turn out to be a 'matey' yes-man type - of course you could be right. I'm not sold on him yet either, but he's a very calm presence and he seems to say simple, but intelligent things .

[margaret thatcher]

His advice to bjs was novice and fury did way better taking on totally different tactics. roach critiqued ben after the first fight and roach was totally right

There are thousands of trainers in the world, i just don't think he's showing much that suggests he's one of the very best. having top fighters (who btw were already your mates) doesnt make you one of the best, we'll see though

[Neil Gee]

This started off looking like a walk in the park for Frankham but the further it goes the more McCauley is dragging this into the trenches. Tough old boot.

[skanksta]

Decent prospect Frankham.

If Josh Taylor puts in a stinker, then that's 3/3 that got worse and I'll admit I'm wrong and he's rubbish.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

'Josh Frankham 4x National Amateur Champion'

Can someone who follows the amateur game explain what constitutes 'National Amateur champion' ? Doesnt look like Frankham has ever entered the ABA finals ?

[skanksta]

Cedric "Peyns" Peynaud

ffs that is terrible.

[Neil Gee]

Essuman wins competitive first

[Neil Gee]

Essuman winning but Peynaud's proving a handful

[Neil Gee]

Peynaud wins the fourth after getting completely outboxed in round 3. That's boxing for you.

[skanksta]

Easy to score - agree with Ritchie's card.

[Neil Gee]

Peynaud falling short again after winning a round.

[skanksta]

4-2 Essuman - he took the 6th off

[Neil Gee]

Essuman in cruise control for me except for the one round blip

[skanksta]

In cruise control 5-2 for me.

[Neil Gee]

It's scrappy but still think Essuman's taking the rounds.

[Neil Gee]

Essuman wins 8th virtue of those heavy, sustained bursts of fire, he put a lot into that one.

[skanksta]

"Peyns" outclassed and a mile behind.
Needs a KO to win.

The Frenchman has world class toughness, an English-level punch and sub-area-level everything else.

[Neil Gee]

Essuman thinking about the Conor Benn results against Peynard it seems, he wants the stoppage to improve on Benn, but don't think he's got enough left to manage it.

[Neil Gee]

Peynaud goes the distance again
