[Ruthless-RKO]

Robert Garcia says this would be his best win as trainer..

“Jose had a great camp. He definitely is more-relaxed, especially now that he’ll have family, including his newborn, with him. The fight will be very close, but I really believe Jose will win by knockout during the last two or three rounds.”

[Ruthless-RKO]

No Tim Bradley not doing punditry.. unless he pops in later on.

[oogiebe]

This fight should be stopped. This kid has nothing. Just taking a beating.

[oogiebe]

Geez finally. Muratalla was impressive.

[skanksta]

Tony Sims' lad up first...

[ironbeard]

Rodriguez way too cautious.

[skanksta]

Yup.

"What is all the fuss about" ?

[margaret thatcher]

ive seen him a number of times before and he's usually looked the business tbf

[skanksta]

I feel a sh1t verdict coming up....

[ironbeard]

If anyone deserves to win that it is Sims. Draw would be ok. Decision will probably go to Elvis. It is Vegas, after all.

[skanksta]

A draw would be nice..

[ironbeard]

Judges get it right!!

[skanksta]

well whaddya know !

Well done Sims - E Rod. did precisely fornicate all and can't complain.

[skanksta]

Right, c'mon Hammerin' Hank - this scrub was KO'd in 2 by Terry Flanagan !

(that's what I'd be saying if I were in his corner anyway - hard to believe it's the same guy).

[ironbeard]

Zepeda is difficult, to understate it.

[watsupdoc87]

Shit did I miss fury talking when left the room for a couple mins

[ironbeard]

It was just a rumble by.

[ironbeard]

Zepeda comes out dry and slow. I give Lundy that round for warming up in the dressing room.

[Fightnight Scores]

Right, c'mon Hammerin' Hank - this scrub was KO'd in 2 by Terry Flanagan !

(that's what I'd be saying if I were in his corner anyway - hard to believe it's the same guy).

Funny how two careers can go in different directions eh!?

[ironbeard]

Zepeda warming up now. But, he really looks lethargic tonight.

19-19

[skanksta]

Kinda like the Sims Jr fight - the favourite is doing nothing and the outsider is nicking rounds on not a lot.

20-18 Lundy.
