Round-by-Round: Kid Galahad vs. Kiko Martinez - 13 November 2021

[skanksta]

Wasn't that bothered with this fight.
Seems I forgot how much I hate the french.
Come on CBS mash the dirty frenchie!!:box:

lol

Bregeon looks hurt for the first time for you !

Riakporhe will be a brutal fight if CBS approaches it like this.

[ironbeard]

7 and 8 both close.

[KiwiRider]

Half-way through and its messy already.
Where is this power the commentary team keep blathering about?
Riakporhe is rubbing his hands together

[skanksta]

Riakporhe looked crap last time too.

Both have got worse.

Oh, I might check that one out in the week.
CBS isn't showing much pop at all.

[gregregegg]

honestly havent seen a close round yet. I would have CBS with every round, and id be shocked if you had 100 judges scoring if any would disagree.

But they havent been whitwashes. just very clear to me.

[Coco]

Surprised with CBS's conditioning

[gregregegg]

At this point do you send the frenchy back out?

[skanksta]

I wasn't scoring because the way CBS came out and the ear damage - thought it would end soon.

But CBS is winning wide isn't he ? It's been ugly, messy and close, but hard to give DB any rounds.
The last few have been clear and decisive at least.
Gotta be like 8-2, 7-3ish ?

Surprised with CBS's conditioning

In what way ? Always in good nick .

[jameswilson]

CBS always seems to look knackered.

In round 2 of this one and in previous fights he seems to immediately look exhausted but he keeps on going so it seems to just be how he looks. He definitely maintains a decent pace.

[ironbeard]

I could see a judge having Bregeon with 1 or 2 close rounds. Bregeon has nothing left but to get to the cards and a wide UD.

LOSS

[Coco]

Def got CBS well ahead

Seemed damn knackered early, but he has kept it going

[KiwiRider]

Surprised with CBS's conditioning

To be fair on him, he seems to have got a second wind during the 10th carrying through the 11th.
The worry to me is the frenchie hasn't been deterred by anything and I'm listening to these British commentators going on about power

[gregregegg]

got it clear 11-0. cant see anything else.

Yes, I posted he was breathing heavy and looking knackered @ start of R2 - but he's been fighting hard at a good pace since then ok.

DB is getting brutalized now - he's just looking to last the 12.
Gonna be big wide UD or possibly a Ko12....

[Deserter]

CBS is so flat footed and can't maintain distance , no spring in his step at all .

Yep, have to agree. Seems to have found his level - fit, and strong, but one-dimensional... lack of head movement and while I like some of his body shots, he's smothering his own work at times. Can't see him doing anything at world level unfortunately.

[KiwiRider]

Eddie should keep the frenchie's number, what a good 12 round step up opponent for prospects
Good engine and not too much power. Mind you, I could probably say the same for CBS

[maverick23]

I quite enjoyed that. CBS isn’t anything special but he’s a solid British/European level fighter. Will be tough for him to make the step up to world level but he’s tough, has good stamina and can still improve.

[ironbeard]

CBS just kept going. The ONLY thing he did not get was the finish. Frenchman is plenty tough, though pretty much whitewashed.

[skanksta]

I never thought he'd do anything at world level, but he can be better than he was tonight.

Wrong game plan, off night, believed his own hype.

[Twinkle Toes]

Billam Smith seems to have hit a wall with his progress, lacks head movement and he looks shattered but isn't. Kind of weird how that is.

Just seems to plod along.

Didn't make for an exciting fight with all his holding but was one tough bastard .

[rhino222]

Nice to see Leigh Wood rocking the curly perm and bringing it to a non Scouse world championship level. Bobby Ball would be a proud proud man.
