And I would have thought this was the David Adelaye appreciation hour if I didn't know any better. If he had gotten knocked unconcious it would have been "What poise Adelaye is showing in laying there so straight like that, how gritty, he'll learn from this!"

Yh it’s just his voice.

He might as well be solo
It's good that he knew that Hrgovic had been training at Big Bear, he only mentioned it about 10 times

Hrgovic vs Bakole would be a solid fight for them both.
Great shout I’d enjoy that. Do you know who promotes Hrgovic? Do Queensberry have him or options on him now? Just thinking Bakole is with Boxxer.
He's with Queensbury now. Bakole should be trying to get out of his Boxxer contract or at least get on some Turki related cards against the likes of Hrgovic.

Good to see you're well :bag:

Hrgovic bossed that fight. He was landing thudding punches and 'theyre not hurting him'. Then they said they're arm punches. Then he dropped adeleye after wobbling him.

Adeleye landed basically 2 big left hands the whole fight and they kept referring to them rounds later as if it was competitive.
Yeah they're definitely always whole heartedly on the side of the British fighter, and it shows. Honestly though I wouldn't change it. British fight fans are some of the most rabid, and I think that may be part of the reason why. They really get behind their guys. They'll build cards around 'em with international talent as we're seeing here, but they love their homeboys.

I always remember the Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham KO, when they had been bragging on Graham, and how wonderful and marvelous he had been doing the whole night, and when he gets KO'd their comment is "OH NO!!!! That's what we were worried about!" :lol:

I don't mind them being disappointed in the losses because that's them accepting reality. The commentators are living in a different world sometimes. It's difficult to tell if they're deluded or they're not allowed to tell the truth for promotional purposes.

Hrgovic just throwing arm punches all night in every fight. Barely stops anyone who isn't a complete bum. Adeleye had nothing other than a telegraphed left hook and he still had him hurt. Awful performance from Hrgovic for me. At least we know Adeleye is poor. I expected more than a Euro level performance from Hrgovic.

Can't see Ashfaq stopping himself getting walked down and taken out in 4 rounds.

The quality of the commentary (bar Jones) really is awful. Cheerleading nonsense at times - just heard Smith at the end of round 6 talking about how much Adeleye will learn from this fight... somehow turning a pretty one-side beat-down into a wonderful developmental opportunity.

That was really bad from Smith but we except nothing less from the plonker

Adeleye didn't really have any business being in the ring with Hrgovic.

He had the cut and the moment in the 8th, after getting knocked down, where he rallied and stunned Hrg and landed a bunch of unanswered punches, but what came of it? Nothing.

Even with those moments, I still didn't personally don't think he won the respective rounds.

A shutout on my scorecard.

Adam Booth rightfully scathing in the corner: "You said you wanted this!"

Like others have said, I don't think that'll worry any of the main lads. But Hrgovic should get something off the back of that. A better fighter would have been able to capitalise on the moments Adeleye had.

Will be flown in or at the very least will be on the books of a dedicated regional firm IMO (most of them HQ'ed in Dubai).

I got Adeleye's next fight. Let's see him vs Justis Huni. I'd watch that.

DDD was landing flush on Hrg, and I rate Dubois' power.
So for Moses to stop him, is going to take something special.

I think Huni's still too good for him. Adeleye defending his British belt against Fisher or Clarke or Hughie or Allen would be much more his level and I think he might lose most of those too.

Adam is very good at telling you stuff over and over, that normally has nothing to do with what is going on in the ring
