Not as bad as when Jim Neilly said that Barrera was honouring his great friend Johnny Tapia by having Tapia on his shorts.
I agree, I predicted Hall, Brophy and StalkerBoxerbeetle wrote:Well the show wasn’t as good as I anticipated unfortunately, but perhaps that was my own fault - I was expecting the 4 fights at the top of the card to all be a lot more competitive than they turned out. Still enjoyed a fair bit of it though.

Ok. Who won between Fielding and Brophyrossij8 wrote:Butler, UDTaansend wrote:Who won the main event?
Great boxing display - looked decent on the back foot
Chisora messed around for a few rounds, even the opponent got sleepy and kept trying to cuddle chisora. Ref stopped the opponent on his feet as was just a pointless fight.

I still don't think Davies has this massive power that people claim. Sure he landed on Farrell and he looked hurt but was able to carry on for a few rounds.TheCobra wrote:Annoying that they put Fielding on so early as that was probably the one I was most interested in seeing.

Other fights - Stalker vs Dodd - decent enough fight to watch but could have easily predicted it would go like this, not sure what all the nuthugging for Stalker was for, he's a weak pro with zero power, don't care what he did in the amateurs.
O'Hara Davies vs Farrell - Very predictable, a prospect with no power fed mostly on low level guys vs a very good British/Euro level guy with massive power in Davies. Only one ending and that was what happened. Should have been stopped sooner.
Butler vs Stuey Hall - Was anyone really bothered about this fight? Hall way past his prime, after 2-3 predictable rounds I stuck Match Of The Day on. I agree an initially promising looking card turned out to be very mediocre.
He's a LOT better than Stalker in all departments, let's get that one clear. There seems to be have been a large amount of disrespect for Dodd in the build up, the condescending comments from some in the 'boxing community' about how he's come from nothing, no amateur background, therefore it was gona be easy street for Stalker if he just 'stuck to the boxing'. What a joke. And yes Paul Smith I include you in that.Naandrew wrote:Masher Dodd should get more credit than he does. I was very confident he would beat Stalker and he won pretty easily.
He's not good technically but he has really grafted to get where he is. He is comfortable British level and there is no shame in that. I would like him to fight the Barrett Ritson winner for the British title which should rightfully be his anyway.
Yeh I only really talk about power at levels. I think Davies is very heavy handed at British level. He's also crude though, so those with real skill and a bit of a dig themselves will no doubt beat him, like Taylor did. At the level he was pitched last night, he will smash most of them to bits. I can defo see O'Hara getting a British belt though at some stage.Naandrew wrote:I still don't think Davies has this massive power that people claim.

At the moment I'm not convinced he is British level. He turned down Tyrone Nurse for the British title last year so how can he be higher than British level ?
I said after the scarpa fight he wasn't that good and I still stand by it. He will be matched VERY carefully as he was last night.
