there's money to be won here my man, 6/4 on the more experienced world titilist romaro to beat the great ebb "bang em out (if they are 1-11)" bridges!

the fighters bridges stopped were 1-11, 3-9, and 0-0. she has fought 3 fighters with winning records, and widely lost to one, got a gift vs the other, and only won an md vs the 3rd (who now has a losing record). seems like the epitome of a manufactured fighter and every bit of her hype has 0 to do with her boxing ability.

i dunno, i just dont know what any of this is based on. her being favourites with world titilists (even if women's boxing) and being called the damaging puncher seems like a bizarro world to me, but maybe women's boxing is that bad

More damaging... Not damaging unless your comparing her to a 39 year old with zero stoppages.

Neither are good. But I'd say bridges should still be ok the way up (old ish but only started a few years ago) where as Argentina should be well on the way as down.

I think it's razor close but I'd favor bridges. (Once again having seen 2 bridges fights and zero of the Argentinians. Although just watched weigh ins and Argentina looks like a fighter and now really have my doubts.

I personally wouldn't bet Argentina because it's a decision going against the grain and she can't hit for shit so winning rounds without hurting your opponent against the ground is hard.

British judging... And if Romaro does go the distance, no surprises, will she get the nod?

Oh, now you've got me discussing it

'if romaro does go the distance'.......heck, you're right, why am i even considering this hypothetical that a fighter never stopped could last the course with hammer hands ebb

it's interesting how within 3 fights, 2 of which she clearly should've lost and the other a win over a 3-9, ebbs went from being seen as a joke to a favourite in a world title fight over a champ who's won numerous title bouts. that's women's boxing for you

when given 6/4 on that, i gotta have a bit of a play for some fun. hell maybe that's the secret to make womens boxing interesting, you just gotta bet on it,, ive never analyzed a bird fight in such detail

On top of that, with all that he has done, always away from home, often treated badly too, I will be rooting for him tomorrow, despite Warrington being one of my favourite fighters at the mo.

Yeah,i have felt the same about Kiko since- well, since he came over and flattened Bernard Dunne (thus proving once and for all in the forum's Dunne vs Munroe wars- remember them?!- that Munroe was the better man )

and you can just keep adding them to the list after that, dudes who Kiko went away from home and took out, from the opponent's corner

i made the mistake of not being switched on for the galahad fight as I thought that was the 'fight too far' for Kiko

I think this fight is a fight too far, as well (even if Josh is in some trouble he'll prob headbutt his way out of it), but I'll certainly watch.

If Kiko pulls the trick and sparks Warrington I'll be in boxing heaven

You weren't the only one.. After a few rounds, I just felt like each round was gonna be a repeat of the previous with Kiko being out-boxed. Kinda switched off a little and then BAM right at the end of the round, that surely woke me up.

Romero is better than Ebanie and should win the fight. I agree with you and placed a small bet on her because you have to keep the politics of boxing in mind.

Chance Kiko comes out rapid trying to blow Josh away early doors?

Romero is not good in the pocket so that should be Bridge’s strategy. But I do agree that Romero is the favourite. I’m so conflicted, I want to see Bridges win and stay in the sport for my personal entertainment, yet I want to see her get her tits smashed up too.

Think the first Josh and Lara fight is the only reason their is question marks over this. Like Galahad was toying a bit with Kiko, but even when he was it looked like a risky game. Don't know what Warrington we are getting is the x factor, kiko is what he is.

I'm at work so can't watch the fight at home so I'll get my fishing rod out now while the tide is out and see if a get a nibble........??

Anyone else notice Bec’s nipple?

Despite Romero being an experienced world champ, she is still poor. However the Aussie is def worse, she needs IJL and our Tel judging.
