Stuart Hall v Martin Ward

[nick885]

Surprise surprise with over 2000 Tyson/haskins supporters and a ref that constantly allowed haskins to hold and punch and to punch below the belt on a regular basis also constantly ducking his head below belt level which is against the rules the place would have been smashed to pieces if it had gone to hall, and it would have been mayhem if it had kicked off due to the lack of safe entrances/exits. The atmosphere in the arena was intimidating with large groups leaving before the end to avoid any trouble can't imagine that the judges would have ever been stupid enough to give it to hall.

There would have been no riot if Hall had won and the atmosphere was not intimidating.

Where abouts in the arena were you

Where abouts in the arena were you

About 5 metres from the ring.

I'm a big pussy and I wasn't even slightly intimidated.

As might be but most hall supporters were.

Highly dubious statement. Any Darlington guy could hit it off with the Fury crowd straight away.

And the trouble that has happened in darlo both sides do not get on

Rules of the forum stopped me adding to my last post, but the whole arena that was watching the Haskins hall fight thought haskins lost, and when you are ringside as I was you can see the scoring punches. The ref was appalling allowing Haskins to punch low and, as he always does punch whilst holding. Haskins was out on his feet at the end. Haskins is a dirty fighter who has been allowed to get away with dirty tactics for to long.
People slag hall off all the time and don't rate him, this happens a lot and its mostly by people who have never been near the inside of a boxing ring armchair warriors who know nothing

Hall looked a beaten man at the end, no celebration from him and Al Bernstein had Haskins winning comfortably by at least 4 rounds. The judges are ringside too, closer than you were and they all had Haskins winning by wide margins.

Fury's from Manchester/Morecambe and he's a traveller, Haskins is from Bristol and isn't a traveller, the two fanbases don't overlap, most people will have been there to watch Fury, not Haskins and I doubt the arena was full at that point. The judges score each round as they see it, based on what happens in the ring, not the threat of a riot, then tally the scores at the end, they don't change them because it could kick off, not that it would anyway.

None of which Haskins had anything to do with, they were there to watch Fury, Haskins isn't a traveller, so that point is completely irrelevant, as is every other thing you've said since coming on here.

Fury has a lot of Darlington connections. Seen as though I suspect you're a troll, I'll leave it there.

Yeah but expe did you not see all those low blows in the channel 5 clip? No? No neither did anyone else except 1 person sat 10 yards away.

The cameras cruelly distorted it all.

Strange that 90% + where cheering for haskins, and the arena was packed, standing room only. Talk to some real faces and they will tell you how easy it is to influence a judge. As you didn't know the arena was packed I take it you weren't there and therefore are not in a position to comment on what the camera's didn't show and also to the state of the largely drunken crowd.

[Boxing Prospect]

...are you Stuart's brother or something?

[nick885]

Strange that a lot of people don't know how bent the boxing world is and that camera's only show one angle, also how many feel free to post about events they did not attend and are really not in a position to comment on what went on outside the camera's field of view, wonder how many have stepped onto a ring.

Stu knows who I am and that's all that needs to be said

[mickey1975]

I've been around enough arenas, pissed, to know the crack, if Haskins lads were at it, fair enough, but don't drag Tyson's lot into it. Like I say they would ALWAYS back the North East.

Not a troll a relative, take it you were not in newcastle for the fight against ward, Darlo fans let Fury know how they felt.

Fair play then, mate. I've seen Stuey right from his early days in Micks gym. Just surprised the Darlington connection wouldn't get back up from the Fury lot.

Without trying to sound like an ass, that does sort if give you a natural bias. Its great to see you here defending your guy though :) passion is great even if your view isn't share by many

[davie]

If this fight was made for the British title, i'd be disappointed and demanding to know why they had ducked Lee Haskins or Paul Bulter.

The fact that it is for a world title strap is beyond comprehension.

all the best to the lads, but it is one of the many fights that makes a mockery of world boxing and the ABC titles.

in fact, even in the world of ridiculous titles and rankings, having the 2nd and 5th best bantamweights in Britain contesting a world title takes the effing biscuit!

Ah another one that has never been in a ring, if you had been at the Haskins hall fight you would know that hall was ripped off as ring magazine said hall had the first five rounds and everyone there saw Hall smash him in the last three rounds even haskins fans thought he had lost the fight. Only reason haskins really got the nod was the Tyson fans would have wrecked the place. Haskins should have been given at least two warnings for low blows he is seriously dirty fighter.

"Ah another one that has never been in a ring"........

Got that far and stopped reading!
A pish opinion that undermines every other word written after it

If you stopped reading you wouldn't have been commenting, Haskins/Mcdonall fan then.

[Horse]

If you stopped reading you wouldn't have been commenting,

How'd you work that one out?

[palooka]

I'm not reading all this shite.

Hall is a decent fighter who is improving. Haskins beat him and so did Mcdonnell. I saw the Ward cut and it was a bad one - Stuey seemed too big and strong but Ward came for a fight.

It's good when fighters mates and family come on here and they will argue black is white for their pal. Hall will fight hard to keep his belt though there are better fighters in the division. If I were a mate of Haskins I'd be cheesed off.

Although to be fair to Hall after the Haskins loss he went on a run of wins, whereas Haskins got stopped by Jamoye, and his promotor must have put up the readies to bring Malinga over. I am guessing Malinga came over because he thought it was a good deal, and he didnt see Hall as too much of a risk.
