Nathan Heaney vs. Brad Pauls | TNT Sports - 16 March 2024

[SeanBrennan]

2 more unbeatens, good to see and English title on the line. Not heard of Owen Cooper, hope it is a good fight. Apparently former team mates as ams.

[SeanBrennan]

Cooper detonated him there and James goes down, legs gone

[MightyWarrior]

Big favour from the ref

[SeanBrennan]

not a boring start.....

[jameswilson]

When you see the slo mo of the shot you see everyone in the crowd just go 'ohhhhhh.'

[SeanBrennan]

Big favour from the ref

deffo generous extra 20 secs

[MightyWarrior]

You could see that left hook was a danger right from the off

not sure about the ref and the gumshield there. Wow, what a start

[SeanBrennan]

hahahahah deffo

[SeanBrennan]

James is losing and getting battered but he has a hell of a chin on him.

[MightyWarrior]

Admirable from Ethan James facing down absolute disaster there.

I don’t know how long he can last though, with that chin up in the air

he’s got a tough career ahead of him.

[jwfg]

Big favour from the ref

You can blame Ted Kid Lewis for that. Bloody Jews!

Seriously though. Wouldn't it be better for the ref have a spare mouthpiece for each boxer in his pocket?

[NoScoutingReports]

The lack of defence from James is absolutely killing him, chin so high and getting pummelled with hooks here.

true, fundamental flaw there and he's paying for it.

[SeanBrennan]

first round James has not looked like he's on the brink. Imagine if he comes back from this.

[handsofstone]

The problem for James apart from the obvious lack of power is the lack of strength, not all non punchers are weak, Warrington for instance, only has a handful or so KOs to his name but is as strong as an ox, James has zero purchase in his punches, chin agape ain't clever either

[veriton]

Mad that a FW card hasn't started out with spirit crushing 60-54s. It'll never catch on, of course

good point that.

[MightyWarrior]

Incredible grit from Ethan James, but his head is alarmingly flopping around like a ragdoll

[jwfg]

This is a career shortener for James.

[forcefraser]

James is a tough sod. Tough career ahead with that upright stance. Wide open for a hook.

Solid chin on him though, but feather duster power

[forcefraser]

Right decision

[MightyWarrior]

Yeah such a brave kid, I know his dad is a fighter, but I would be really worried my son in a boxing ring taking punishment like that

Good call from the coach

[SeanBrennan]

corner pull out from coach. right decision. Cooper was well ahead on all cards. James has a kind corner.

[SeanBrennan]

Yeah such a brave kid, I know his dad is a fighter, but I would be really worried my son in a boxing ring taking punishment like that

Good call from the coach

totally agree with this

[SeanBrennan]

can never criticise a compassionate corner. Looking forward to seeing Owen Cooper again.
