Official Liverpool card Round by round thread

[Finch]

Does Adam smith ever talk about what is actually happening in the ring?

[Boxerbeetle]

What's happening? I can't be bothered to watch.

You're watching Froch on Tipping Point, aren't you?

Can't believe Froch on Tipping Point has been scheduled to clash with this fabulous Liverpool card. I am fuming that I'll have to miss one of them.

EDIT

(Spoilers)












Froch has just been knocked out of Tipping Point. The scheduling clash has resolved itself.

[Sklar]

You're watching Froch on Tipping Point, aren't you?

I am now. This Tipping Point show seems pretty crap.

It's very crap. I saw Carl and Sam Janus when channel flicking so gave it a chance. Carl was rubbish.

[Final round]

Smith looking very ordinary, whatever the bias commentary is .saying

[ShadrachSimmo]

...someone told Stephen Smith that if he wins he has to fight Takashi Miura next?

Haven't seen too much of Muira but he'd wipe the floor with Smith on this evidence.

Yep, very uninspiring. More like a public sparring session than a fight.

I'd suggest you give him a watch, he's really exciting, tough as old boots, improving fight after fight, aggressive and has dynamite in his hands. He'd not only wipe the floor with Smith but he'd use Smith to clean the toilet with afterwards.

[Glass Joe]

Awful night so far hope it picks up

[Boxing Prospect]

Well done the ref for having it close unlike the crap comms.

[taffytoon]

Usual cr ap round by round thread that doesn't mention any rounds!!!! If you're going to put up a round by round at least comment on the b loody rounds...

Will do you reckon he'll rematch Uchiyama anytime soon? A super fight of sorts in japan?

Yeah I thought he lost a few rounds. Steve gave a pretty honest interview afterwards tho, so I hope he can improve a hell of a lot from that showing.

Fielding up next. For some reason people rate this guy as well above domestic level. I think he is around about domestic, British title winning level. He aint George Groves at all so I don't expect this one to be the blowout others think.

[Horse]

Why is Stephen Smith getting a world title shot? Pointless.

[Boxerbeetle]

Fielding could lose this one, only competitive fight on the card.

[Final round]

agreed

[jameswilson]

As we suspected Gonzalez has landed a good few. Fielding looks good in spurts, but I get the impression Gonzalez could keep it going better into the late part of the fight.

I like the Callum Smith fight personally. Significant step up from his best opponent previous, which with a prospect you can't moan at. Even if it does end up being a wide UD, it's kinda what he needs.

Bellew and Cleverly are in poor fights tho.

[Boxerbeetle]

There really needs to be some clear space between Sky & Matchroom, the close ties have led to the most ridiculously biased coverage I've ever heard.

It's the case with Sky and whoever they have commented on over the years.

It's been spoken about...and spoken about...and spoken about...both guys have said they want it but it seems further away now than it did on Dec 31st 2013 :(

I'd check out the Thompson fight if you want to see what Miura can do in enemy territory.

I'll be honest the depth Japan has at 135 is amazing. Miura, Uchiyama, Kaneko (REAL talent), Masao Nakamura and Rikki Naito

Agreed, they were always sycophantic towards Warren fighters when they were doing business, but it seems even worse towards Matchroom fighters, it's almost patronising.

[Boxing Prospect]

Just me thinking Paul Smith looks a bit...fat?

Wait until you see Tony Bellew.

Good stuff. A pillar of knowledge on the old Asian boxing. You live out there?

Nah don't live out there just follow the scene vary carefully...tend to find the good fighters have to prove themselves quicker than over here and instead of waiting 5 or 6 years to know how good someone is we can find out in 3 or 4 years.

[chrisbonnie]

I cant warm to Luke Campbell at all.

He struggled in that fight, and was quite frankly rather average. Then he just goes on and pretty much slagged his opponents off saying he was negative. Cheeky little twat
