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

[skanksta]

39-38 to Smurf. Nana Smurf I should say

Poppy is trying to hard and Nana Smurf is fluidly countering.

RD 5 - Heffron.

Shades of Howard Eastman from Bentley.

[skanksta]

48-48 thru' 5.

Poppy "wanted it more"

RD 5 - Heffron.

Shades of Howard Eastman from Bentley.

I got into boxing just as Howard Eastman was in nothing but snooze feats. Not the introduction you want to European title level boxing.

I remember one opponent (off the top of my head Jerry Something. Jerry Collins or Jerry Elliott one of the two) literally shouted ‘ah for fack sake’ because all Eastman was doing was holding.

[skanksta]

Agree with Ritchie 58-57 Poppy.

Bentley maybe concerned about the distance ?

[jameswilson]

I’ve got Bentley ahead but seem to be in the minority.

[MightyWarrior]

I get the impression Bentley is winning this, he’s definitely stunned the other guy more

[skanksta]

R8 was like Hughie vs Parker - Bentley looking great dodging punches but not throwing any ?

I've got Poppy edging it but close and "what you like"

[MightyWarrior]

Shook up Bentley

[jameswilson]

Shook up Bentley

Richie going back on his word in the last here even tho Heffron had his best round in the 9th.

[skanksta]

6-4 Poppy with a KD to Nana Smurf.

That makes 95=94 Heffron for me.

[MightyWarrior]

Frickin ell

[MightyWarrior]

Paul Dempsey doesn’t want to see a rematch

[skanksta]

Can't argue with the draw.

[jameswilson]

Yeah I did think the knockdown round wouldn’t be a 10-8 and I think if they show the scorecards I don’t reckon any of the judges will have scored 10-8.

[skanksta]

It wasn't a great fight.

It was close and not terrible, but not "great"

[MightyWarrior]

Heffrons got a good chin on him

[Cholo_cws]

It wasn't a great fight.

It was close and not terrible, but not "great"

Agreed. I'd not be fussed about a rematch but I guess it will happen.

[skanksta]

Tunde Ajayi or Ben Davison, Maggie ?

[skanksta]

It wasn't a great fight.

It was close and not terrible, but not "great"

Agreed. I'd not be fussed about a rematch but I guess it will happen.

Yup inevitable - who's your money on ?

[Frostieballs]

Poppy got a little sloppy

[Cholo_cws]

It wasn't a great fight.

It was close and not terrible, but not "great"

Agreed. I'd not be fussed about a rematch but I guess it will happen.

Yup inevitable - who's your money on ?

Dunno. Probably a close one again.

Haye trying to give Spelman the big sell. Yarde 's 25/1 on!

[jameswilson]

It wasn't a great fight.

It was close and not terrible, but not "great"

Yeah can remember thinking when they said they pace hasn’t dropped’ I was saying ‘well it’s hardly been Tua v Ibeabuchi in terms of pace has it?’

[TheLeprechaun]

How many rounds is Yarde going to waste trying to do a Floyd Mayweather impression here?
