Sam Eggington vs. Ashley Theophane - 11 December 2020

[Ruthless-RKO]

6 people thought Theophane would win by decision..

[brilo33]

Sort of did and didn't get the stoppage. On the one hand it was one way traffic and was just going to be another round and a half of the same but on the other MJ Hall was not in any trouble or immediate danger

know what you mean you could bash hall all night doubt he would go down, but mckenna is going places looks better a ko on the record

[Neil Gee]

I was looking forward to seeing Scott Welch's son's debut but they ran through the rest of the card giving each fight maybe a minute each.

You can't knock Channel 5 for picking up the baton for terrestrial tv boxing but why not show the undercard on Youtube?

Hall was supposed to have said that he was pissed off because he got a win and a draw in something like 20 fights last year because the win and the draw made promoters suspicious of him (because he is hired as a durable loser).

If Theophane calls it a day it’s been a good career.

Whatever he decides he’s one of my favourites.

Treasure.

well if mckenna had ko him , he wouldnt be able to box for a month sure he aint that botherd

[Stanny Onis]

Aaron Mckenna looks a very good prospect

[margaret thatcher]

McKenna is very sharp.

his brother fighting next , i think is better steve

you think steve is better? to me steve looks a lot sloppier and less ring intelligent

can see him swinging from miles away

off course not ,all though i thought there was 3 brothers to be honest, steve is raw but very good potential. arron looks class, you know what maggie with the corna and lack of fights i forget a lot of fighters now like horse racing , i have to check back on previous posts . not looking forward to my 40s then

Good performance by Eggington last night although this stationary version of Theophane was tailor made for him.

The bulk of the undercard is, in general, one of my big issues with boxing. The McKennas were good amateurs and have had 10 and 5 wins respectively. Why are they fighting opponents who have a combined 7 wins in almost 150 fights? Surely it would be a better for a 10-0 fighter to fight someone who’s trying to win rather than what we saw last night?!

That’s how it is. My Mrs doesn’t even come to small hall shows now because she says it boring. She didn’t even watch BJS-Murray because she knew the score.....

It’s how it is on certain shows. There have been more TV shows since Covid that have had more competitive undercard fights. I don’t even mind it particularly if it’s a case of we’re 95% sure of the winner but at least the fight’s competitive because the other fighter is trying to win.

I don’t blame your Mrs. A good chunk of the small hall shows I’ve been to haven’t had one competitive fight.

I much prefer a good boxing matchup vs. an MMA fight but at least the vast bulk of MMA I’ve seen on TV or live has involved 2 fighters trying to win.

It’s worse when you can see the journeyman can really fight if he wants to. It’s as good as being corrupt.

[THEBUTCH]

Decent little win for Eggington. Theophane simply cant compete at this level at light middle weight.

For me into was refreshing to see a ten rounder with no meaningless title Feels honest and the viewer isn't paying hefty subscriptions to watch on Channel 5.

Ashley's had an excellent career and far exceeded what I thought he would achieve when I saw his 2nd pro fight....Southern Area title at best, but he went much, much further.

What a shame they didn't show the Midlands area title fight properly That was probably the fight of the night.

Someone at Channel 5 doesn't know what their doing and how to get the most out of the card for the viewer They've had a few goes at this now and keeping selling everyone short

Yep it is. Often see some journeyman give away most of the rounds and then occasionally make the last round competitive. Really frustrates me.

It’s one of my big bugbears of boxing. People say it helps the fighters go rounds but I don’t think it proves much - it shows they can rounds against someone not offering a threat. It’s very different going rounds in a competitive fight.
