[golden_labrador]

left eye closing too. nicht gut

[ironbeard]

Rd 10 = dickens trying land game changing lefts but to little effect. Another left that Dickens admires rather than following. Best rd lately for Dickens. Kid penalized for footy. Close.

10-9 Dickens
96-94 Kid

[Ruthless-RKO]

Refs shirt becoming a mess

[ironbeard]

Rd 11 = kid pounds bod. Kid really impressive here. Very controlled. Very active but never over committing.

10-9 kid
106-103 Kid

Fight stopped.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Poor Jazza, he didn’t want that to stop.

I was thinking let him finish the fight, but his face is a mess and another 3 mins wouldn’t help any

Eddies shirt becoming a mess.

Should have happened 2 rounds ago .
What a mess his face is , too brave for his own good .

[Ruthless-RKO]

What I like about DAZN, they show punch stats.

[ironbeard]

Galahad was very impressive. Look forward to seeing him in a bigger fight.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I have rd1 to Jazza..

After that it was all Kid.

I did give Jazza 2 more rounds in there, but I was being generous.

10-9 kid
106-103 Kid

Fight stopped.

I thought you were pretty generous to Jazza with your scoring. Must have given him every close round.

[Dioufy]

Galahad was immense. Faultless.
Work rate insane.
8/3 to him but could’ve and maybe have been stopped earlier by corner.
If Warrington beats Lara… if… the 2nd fight plz.
Good card. I enjoyed.

Dickens is game and brave enough to go the distance and probably 15 rounds, but wtf is the point ?

He's face isn't as hard as his will.
Shoulda been stopped a round or two earlier by the corner. I understand why they didn't, but he just took a lot of extra, unnecessary punishment.

Great fight.

[rd350lc]

Galahad was very impressive. Look forward to seeing him in a bigger fight.

He was and all the talk of making weight and inactivity made no difference.
He's always had sublime skills but at true world level not being a massive puncher will hamper him.

[ironbeard]

I felt Dickens was very competitive and leading the first third. Then Kid took over and was simply a level above.

What I like about DAZN, they show punch stats.

I reckon they just make them up.

[peter barlow]

You could give Galahad every round, stats showed too. Probably could have been stopped by corner was relentless and Dickens face a mess.

His power is fine.
It's not huge, but when he's that sharp and accurate AF it doesn't have to be.

[skanksta]

Actually not "the whole word" but....

Well done anyway.

Warrington and Selby did reasonably well with little punch power and being so skilled will help Galahad.

[peter barlow]

Problem with that stoppage is we just had Mark Bennett take a million punches in the fight before where he had no hope of winning.

But Webb took a fair few flush shots and did not throw back. Should have had a count imo

Bennett didn't go down. He fought like a man

He did but he took too much punishment, I hope he is okay and been checked on.

[handsofstone]

Gutting for Dickens but that was correct call, his face was a bloody mess, cut eye, broken nose by looks of it and he was taking a beating round after round fighting on pure heart, positive start from him, think Galahad was a bit shocked how easy Dickens was able to nail him clean with that southpaw left hand, Galahad figured him out quickly though and began walking him down, making his physicalities count, plenty roughhouse tactics, stepping on toes, use of forearms on inside etc but was also breaking Dickens up with the jab, walking him down, switching effectively, Dickens face was a right mess but it was the body shots which killed him , Galahad pulverised him downstairs all night

Dickens landed the occasional big shot to keep Galahad honest and his heart was commendable but it did get a bit hard to watch in the end and good to see his corner show compassion

Entertaining fight considering the one sided nature, I liked that version of Galahad, great output

[JxhDel.]

Galahad was awesome tonight, as on many occasions in the past but this time on a whole new level... poor Jazza, he is a victim against that world-class level.

[skanksta]

Kid rubbing Eddie's nose in it about Josh Warrington getting beat !

Eddie rolled his eyes and laughed - amusing moment for boxing geeks.

[peter barlow]

Good nights action same as last night. Hearn be happy considering it was a weak card
