if Tom Baker fills out and gets some power he'll be some fighter..

He's a tidy boxer but just doesnt have IT I reckon

This fight needs IJL

Baker vs Buglioni would be a great match of styles
Think F Bug. would look outclassed early, but come back to stop Baker late..

IJL

I totally forgot this card was on tonight. Is it worth catching the repeat?

Watch Mitchell Smith KO and the Ovill fight with your scorecard.
The rest can be deleted.

Not really,the main event was good but the ref spoiled it by allowing persistent fouling by Askin

Miles Shinkwin dismantling Richard Horton was excellent and Mitchell Smith's KO of Antonio Hovatic was brutal but the other 5 fights were tripe

Shinkwin was good - a touch of the Froch about his style.
Romeo Romaeo (sp?) was vaguely watchable

Baker wins 97-94

Good last couple of rounds where Greenwood had his moments but it was effectively a shite fight

x2

Does Romaeo look any nearer to getting chinned??

Thanks everyone

Defo. How he got away with it for the first 5 rounds is beyond me. Was blatant but effective.

BN commentary calling for a rematch. Eh no thanks.

Say what you will about the Wlad-tactics, Askin and his strategists have taken home the belts. Well done to them.

Except they didn't, unless the wrong winner was announced.

Have you been on the sauce for breakfast Sklar

Na as much as I was frustrated watching Askin spoil, the blame falls mainly on Marcus McDonnell who failed to enforce the rules and allowed Matty to keep fouling,it wasn't just the grappling,he was going in with the head too

Askin boxed well when letting his hands go and I was a bit surprised I had McKenzie winning when I tallied up my card at the end but he(Matty) let that get away from him

As for a rematch, no thanks,Ovill has proved himself domestically and if he can't get a title shot then an eliminator will do

I read through this topic and somehow got the impression Askin had been given the decision. For those who remain in any doubt, I've now officially lost the plot.

Speed reading will get you nowhere.

DD sorry mate I thought it was a certainty that askin was ahead.even mckenzies corner knew he was chasing it.what were the official scores last night?

116-109
115-111
113-114

I had Ovill edging it.

Askin boxed well but got the balance wrong in some of the rounds when it came to spoiling and fighting,he'll be feeling like he let it get away but great perseverance from Ovill to claw it back

Matty should have been DQ if I'm honest but the ref let him away with it all night yet was quick to pull up McKenzie, it spoiled the fight

PS-WTF was going on with the scores? Does Mark Burdess not know what MD is and one of the scores was clearly wrong

I had it by about 2 points to McKenzie but I backed him to win by KO so obviously I was biased!

The holding just ruined the fight and when the ref took a point from Orvil I thought it wasn't going to be his night. Managed to get 7/4 in live betting on Orvil just to win the fight around the mid-way stage, so I came out about even.

I don't like to see DQ's but Askin was, well, asking for it

Can Warren not find someone better than Burdis? He has no talent.

Agreed,hes woeful

Look at fights from the 70's and 80's , fat bloke comes out introduced the boxers, told us who the ref was , and then that was it.

For me I blame Buffer, as everyone now tries to copy him, and fail badly

Same as I got 17/10 about round 7 or 8 on Ovil. My banker was Ovil KO/TKO/DQ I was screaming for the DQ

Should be Michael Pass or the Scottish guy who has done the Frampton fights can't remember his name though.
