If Warrington had fought someone half decent then he'd have probably looked more impressive and learned something.Shambles wrote:I just have high expectations of Josh and bought in to the hype. I guess if I'd ignored that side of things I would have enjoyed the fight for what it was.
The whole "Event" tonight was pretty pathetic.Shambles wrote:Warrington is just no where near world class and will never win a world title as he possesses so little power. His left looks poor as well, like he's slapping it. He should have had the brave little Filipino out of there early, Selby certainly would have done.
The production from Sky was appalling, why would we want to hear from the crowd or Vinnie Jones and why on earth is Nelson still presenting? He fluffs his lines to such an extent that it became cringe worthy at the end.
4 minute round followed by a 2 minute round. All in all, not a great advert for boxing.
Bring on allegedly and Andy Lee later

Who the fcuk would want Vinnie Jones to walk them into the ring?
The 4 and 2 minute rounds. The beach ball in the ring. And Halling spouting constant nonsensical bullpish.
Roll on the ppvs........

Caught up with it this morning, ended up fast-forwarding most of it. The Warrington fight was just ridiculous, presumably he's going to continually be fed undersized opponents a la Scott Quigg.
Wtf was all that nonsense with Johnny addressing the crowd? Trying to play to a load of fat, middle-aged, pissed-up, coked-up Leeds football hooligans? A new low for Sky boxing.
He's already vacated the British title, Ryan Walsh and Samir Mouneimne are fighting for it. They won't put him in with any sort of live opponent until next summer when they can have him fight Selby at Elland Road, or they'll manouver him into a mandatory position and have Selby move up in weight so he gets the vacant title.Broomhall wrote:All this aside. They have done an amazing job with Warrington and for a kid with no power to speak of he also has built an amazing following. That would be a scary place to box him and if you beat him not sure you would get out alive. It would be a very brave judge who scored against him in a tight one.
It would have been nice for him to get a Lonsdale belt outright, but I am geussing that is not a title he wants to defend given the risks.

Vinnie effing Jones ?! Johnny and his usual suited and booted cronies spouting the usual bollox ringside, halling droning on and trying to convince that we're actually seeing something meaningful, rather than a load of substandard crap....1000's of pissed up football fans, and one of the worst boxing cards you're ever see .
THIS is boxing on Sky
But he's nowhere near as skillfulhandsofstone wrote:His power isn't that different from Selbys
