It's like the ref thought they were 10-8 KDs ?! :doh:

I had 7-1 Gibbs in rounds.
Maybe it was 6-2, but I think that's generous. Gibbs was faster, busier, had better feet, threw more and landed more.
First had little more than toughness.

Caroline Dubois closed down the distance immediately for a first round stoppage.

Dubois looked quality for 15 seconds then but the stoppage was crazy.

She needs moving quickly now.

Dubois looks to be a cracking little boxer, but she really does need to be in a fight of some sort in 2023.

Yeah she's great, but in the women's game she's gotta go for WT next fight or so....

Can Fielding be relied upon to give this a proper go here? At least he's on a run of wins.

Rocky is dangerous early and he's missed weight.
Who can resist 150/1 and 100s Fielding R1 and 1-2 ?

I wonder if she is eying olympics at all. Gold medals are key for women cracking into the mainstream.

If not I wouldn’t rush her, just build a lil knockout streak, fight every single sky card and then when Katy retires be in the spot to grab the belts…. (Unless you get a mando for Katy… gotta take that).

Hasn’t boxing been axed from the next Olympics?

I feel like ringwalk music should be an absolute minimum of 2 1/2 minutes per boxer, certainly higher up the card.

It's all too swift these days.

Dublin is already 10 times better than the likes of Bridges and Courtesy.

I wouldn't even let them spar

Campbell was completely shagged out. His corner were a whisker from throwing the towel in.

The walk isn’t really that long is it?

Can't work out if Fielding is up for this not. Did okay in the first but can he really do another 11 like that.

Not in the best of shape. He looks like he could do about 5 press ups on a good day.

Looks like training in Qatar doesn't suit him, fleshy around the middle and lacking definition. He is already having his body targeted.

My wife made the salient point that you can tell Rocky isn't that bothered because he's come in with a hairy back in 2022. A fair point...
