And is this the first time a boxer has won with 3 inside the distance wins?
How good is Rocky Fielding?
Cheers.

Yeah it was good, not a dull fight.

It was a prizefighter record, winning by stoppage in all three fights.

Fielding is a good prospect, did well as an amateur. Some of his punches are still quite amateurish but he still had enough to get all his 3 opponents out last night. He's got a lot of room to improve, which is all the better for him as he's done well as it is.

Is a ticket seller too.

Prize fighter was good last night, but they need to look at the scoring of the event. I know from a good sourse that the referee's must not make the fight a draw, thats why in the Reed fight, the two judges had it first 2 rounds to Joe and the last to Reed. Marcus McDonald had it 29 - 28 that means instead of a 10-8 for Reed he gave it 10-9, which is aceptable as the last round was close apart from the knock down. If he had given it 10-8 the contest would have been a draw 28-28. IJL scored the last round 10-10 giving a score of 30-28 to Joe, thats wrong, you can't have a drawn round with a knock down being involved, IJL is an honest guy maybe he meant to give it 10 -9 to Reed making the contest 29-28 to Joe. I do believe but don't quote me, that if it is a draw they go to a 4th card the referee's card. I think that the judges on Prize Fighter are told not to make it a draw, thats why we've never seen a draw in any of the prize fighter contests, don't know who gives them this rule SKY or BBBC. Its does need to change to make it fairer to all involved. Saying that I don't think Reed would have went any further than the semi. Still a great event the Prize Fighter, come on BBBC have a look at a fairer way to score.

Gotta say i enjoyed the fight. Enjoyed being part of P/F and if there ever was a DARK HORSE in British boxing it was Rocky. His punches were just so strong that it shocked me!

They werent painful at all, though VERY strong. I suspect he is a true Light Heavy. I spoke to Oliver (his coach) backstage and he said Rocky just campaigns there and is a S/M. But im telling ya S/Ms dont carry that strength in their shots at british/novice level.

Truth be told i was holding out for P/F The Middles but got fed up of waiting so tried my luck with Super Midds.

Im glad peeps enjoyed the fight and like ive always said with me, its DO or DIE.... last night well ROCKY was A STAR !!!!

WELL DONE BRUV ;)

Fight April 22nd......

Really enjoyable Prizefighter and a really worthy winner in Rocky Fielding, he was really impressive with his straight shots at range and in combinations. Some really exciting fighters there with Webb, Smyle, Fielding I think they could be heard of in the future.

Cheers Will certainly keep an eye on him but guess he'll be fighting up your way for awhile. 23 aswell.

After Audley got David Haye and Casey got Rigondeaux, I wonder if they can tempt Lucian Bute to fight the winner?

Fielding in few fights could be fighting for British titles. Not much in the division.

SORRY,back to 4 rounders for the rock.

Harrison promotions but we'll be talking to big boys soon.

There should be some sort of discipline action taken by the BBBC as it was just plain wrong for him to come up with that scoreline and only fuels the fire of people who think the sport is corrupt from the bottom to the top.
At the very least he should be made to explain exactly how he came to score it that way.

Soured a good nights scrapping

I've always thought he is a poor ref, who seems to panic, and is too keen to make overblown gestures. As an ex-boxer, he has surprisingly little empathy for the boxer, the way he let Pryce get kayoed by Hall and then grabbed his neck in an awkward way to pull out the gumshield spring to mind.

Has he been given any gigs by the WBC since the Klitschko-Briggs disgrace?

No. He's only been out of the UK once since, Jamoye's Euro Title fight.

Good point.

Even then, why not score it 10-9 for Reed? There would have been no draw and a lot less controversy.

This is why I think it's just a genuine f**k up. Everyone makes mistakes. But it does need to be explained. 29-28 was bad enough.

Yeah Rocky doesn't need to be rushed to much, He had an excellent night , is only 23 and has had 6 fights now. He just needs to be brought along at a good pace to learn the pro's now.

Rush him into big fights, and he could end up having a short pro career.

He's down on the schedule to fight next sat in Liverpool again - that will be 4 fights in 10 days.
