[CaptainSpacerod]

You know you're getting old when any group of young men walking together resemble a boy band

[NazNaci1]

C'mon Sam.

[gregregegg]

havent actualy seen much of either of these guys, here there pretty high levle. although noaks record looks pretty padded.

Cant say i recall seeing a 21 year old fight for a title (i am sure i have, mabey shakur? or haney?)...

[gilgamesh]

Here we go with the real sh*t.

Mason vs Noakes

Good performance by Vito in the previous bout. Something more spectacular should be on the way somewhere in one of these bouts.

[MightyWarrior]

Honestly, that short dope in the hat and sunglasses with the ring belts. How did he get that job? He must know where the bodies are buried

[skanksta]

I like Mason but I will be beyond chuffed if Noakes wins.

x2.
I'd love Sam to win, but huge fan of what Mason will (probably) become.

[Kilburn]

Mason hasn’t beaten anyone great, but it might not matter. I really hope Noakes makes it matter.

Gives the impression he is looking to take it into the second half.

[MightyWarrior]

Sam looks like he’s having an out of body experience

[MightyWarrior]

Not sure about Abdullah’s chin. I hope Sams got a good chin. Otherwise he might get blitzed here.

[MightyWarrior]

Good start from our boy

No nerves

[gregregegg]

good close round. not gunna score, but very compeditive.

[Kilburn]

Couldn’t ask for a better opener from Noakes. Kept it tight, definitely didn’t freeze. Looks fine so far.

[MightyWarrior]

Sam, swinging those hooks to the top of Mason’s head, could spell trouble for Mason

[gregregegg]

This is a really good fight. back and fowards momentum. different styles jelling nicely.

[Cyclops]

Noakes looks very stiff yet is landing.

[CaptainSpacerod]

work his body Sam

[Kilburn]

Maybe Mason can be strong like this for 12 rounds, but he ain’t proven it yet.

[MightyWarrior]

I really don’t like that American phrase defensively responsible

[gregregegg]

bad head clash. horrible shame. gunna effect the fight one way or another.

[Kilburn]

I hope that bloody silly tongue Mason keeps poking out gets punched.

[MightyWarrior]

Firefight Noakes in trouble there, but he is coming back and not f*cking around

[MightyWarrior]

I think we’re going to find out Sam has got the better chin here

[Cyclops]

How are you all scoring this?

[CaptainSpacerod]

Mason sinking in some sickening body shots

[MightyWarrior]

Funny, you can tell the American commentary team want Sam to win this

He’s got some chin on him and he needs it here, Mason can bang
