Sweet P,

I am with you, Lovemore got off to a good start, I felt he won the first 6 rounds, then Gairy got going and tried hard to peg him back.

I thought it was close, and 116-112 or 115-113 is the correct score, even though Gairy was disappointed in the outcome, he can be well pleased with his efforts, and it shows he is still someone to be reckoned with, maybe not at the highest level, but he is still a danger with his silky skills and gritty determination.

I cannot for the love of me, see how one Judge had 117-112, but give him the benefit of the doubt, I only watched it on TV, he was there in person, and it's always a different fight on tele.

Watching the fight now on Fox now. Excellent skills from both fighters.




If you think about it Brad, the only difference between his score and your 116-112 is one drawn rd - not that much of a stretch really

I actually wouldn't mind seeing a return bout between the pair. If Gairy didn't get off to such a slow start, it could've been entirely different.

Ippy,

Well done with Chooky, I thought you were a big factor in him winning this fight, he struggled early, but stuck to his guns, and your work in the corner from what i heard was terrific, and got him on the way to a win, take nothing away from Jack, he will learn heaps from this fight, and be a good fighter considering he's only had 2 fights, he was ahead on the cards before chooky over powered him.

Good fight mate, please pass on my regards and congratulations to Chook, He's a champion bloke in and outside the ring

Cheers Brad, I'll pass on your best. Believe it or not, it kind of went to plan. We knew Jack would start quicker. I was hoping Anthony would pump out his jab more earlier than he did. However Chooky has learnt to pace himself and I don't have any doubts he would've gone 8 if required. Chook has a peach of a right hand and when it started landing, I knew he was gaining the ascendancy. He knows that a State title is his limit but he's proud of his effort. His kids are taking the belt in to primary school for show and tell, so to me that's a success story! :)
