I think people have to give Rees his dues, he's fast, awkward, decent reflexes, very good work rate, people already quick to say he's rubbish,
and i think thats very unfair, give the kid a chance, he has just proved everyone wrong tonight, and i think whoever said he's a poor mans hatton is right, very similar, a little bit more flashy, but good comparison.

I'm sure Rees could make 135 if he tried. But fair play he got his opportunity at the higher weight and took it. I can't see him beating many in the world top 10 mind you. He's just too small for the division.

Just reading what people were saying about the Arthur fight. Was he a good distance ahead at the time of the stoppage?

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:09

Slightly ahead because of 2 knockdowns the first of which was definitely a slip, and a point deduction for Gogoladze for use of the head.

Allrite Jock Mcscott!! Why you not watched it??

Yeah, well up, two 'knockdowns' and a point taken off Koba for a headbutt

And for that reason, and that reason alone... I don't think he would beat many in the domestic top 10. He wouldn't hurt the likes of Lynes, Daws, Morrison, Mutley etc and utlimately I think they would try a bit more than Mbaye

At Lightweight - would be a different story. He is a quality fighter as Boxing Gloves states.

He should be a Super Feather though.[/b]

Nice to see the Sports Network house ref looking after the big fight.

allegedly's running of the sport is reminiscent of a wrestling story line with Mickey Van as his own ref and that

Good match this. Come on Enzo.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:22

First 2 rounds to Enzo here. This one is warming up nicely!

TT · Post by TT » 21 Jul 2007, 17:25

This isn't going the 12

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:26

Any time Braithwaite looks to counter you get a feeling of danger. He certainly looks in the mood for a fight.

thepocketrocket · Post by **thepocketrocket** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:26

Enzo looks class when attacking but is walking back in str8 lines with his chin when he is backed up

thepocketrocket · Post by **thepocketrocket** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:29

3 round to 1 for Enzo...

Deserter · Post by **Deserter** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:30

Great start by Enzo - lovely jab and he's starting to bring the uppercut into play as his big rights are sailing over the top, but Duke's spot-on regarding the way he's hanging his chin out to dry at some points. He's also moving back in straight lines as he's doing so, which makes me nervous!

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:30

Enzo looks pretty vulnerable but won the first 3 rounds for me. That fourth was about even. Good fight!

TT · Post by TT » 21 Jul 2007, 17:33

Get in! C'mon Enzo. Saved by the bell

Sorry mate, hadn't seen your post as I was writing.

Great shot form Maccarinelli there! He was losing that round then too. Come on Enzo!

No worries mate..

With Jirov coming back down there could be some exciting fights ahead...

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:42

Jesus what an uppercut. Braithwaite has a hell of a chin no question about that he has taken some huge shots tonight so far.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:42

Macc has been excellent so far... The jab has arrived in his arsenal.

However, getting tired... Braithwaite looks fresher.

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:43

Round 8. Unless David Haye fought a punch perfect fight, I don't think he could last versus Braithwaite.

thepocketrocket · Post by **thepocketrocket** » 21 Jul 2007, 17:46

Still, if Haye wins he is the man at Cruiser
