Matthews vs Luis Discussion Thread

[handsofstone]

Selkirk wins in 6 ,brilliant finish from Joe,staggered Pompilio with a left hook and battered him with left hook after left hook with odd left uppercut

That was impressive considering Selkirk boxed with one hand,nothing wrong with stoppage,but I do fear for Selkirk's career with these injuries, he's a talented boxer,picks his shots well and does everything correctly when it comes to throwing shots and judges distance very well

He is absolute class; upper body movement and defensive angles are superb, remind me of a young pre 1992 James Toney, as ridiculous as that sounds. Very few European fighter have those kind of moves, quality

Yeah he's definitely super talented but looks as if injuries aren't going away anytime soon

Over in 1,Lewis looked very sharp, Smith down 3 times,first 2 right hands and finished with the left hook

Very good

A lad I know who trains ams at the MGM reckons Selkirk is far and away the most talented fighter he has ever seen in the gym. He is meant to be simply sublime in the gym; nigh on untouchable

Liam Smith vs David Ezequiel Romero

Romero been done in a round before

Bleak I think it was Vaughan yeah

[handsofstone]

Lillis says there's a good fighter who admitted he won't spar Selkirk as it shattered his confidence

[Bleak]

Liam Smith vs David Ezequiel Romero

Romero been done in a round before

Bleak I think it was Vaughan yeah

Thanks

[brilo33]

derry has one of the best walk on songs,thats for sure

[Boxerbeetle]

Smith looked like crap in rd 1 there.

[handsofstone]

Great fight,both guys landing bombs,Romero here to win but Smith looking strong now

[handsofstone]

Romero down in the 3rd,trademark left to the body from Smith

[Andrew]

Thing is Liam Smith has a fan friendly style about him, but he is 1/200 to win this fight needs proper fights badly.I doubt he has learnt anything since he fought Ochieng.

Just turned this on think Mathews Luis could be a belter. bookies have it 50/50 now.

[thepocketrocket]

'Selkirk in broken hand shocker'.

Seriously, I feel so sorry for this guy

[Boxing Prospect]

As limited as Romero is he's come to win, makes a MUCH better fight than seeing a guy come to survive. Credit to the Argie here.

[handsofstone]

Romero down twice in the 6th with the sweetest left uppercut you like then another left to the body

[Baboon]

Got to love the Romero fella, caught with somelovely shots and just keeps getting up and coming back swinging. Not sure what sort of test he is for smith, but cant fault the guys effort

[handsofstone]

Romero down again with a left downstairs, he's one tough sonofabitch

[JC]

Right now looks as though Liam Smith might turn out to be a Macklin sort of fighter. He's tough and fit, hard to beat, but his punch technique isn't brilliant.

[handsofstone]

Its over ref steps in,Smith is like a bull,he just never stops coming forward,from starting as probably the least talented Smith now looking the best,also has a great variety of punches and upper body movement, strong as an ox

I think he's got good technique,especially the body shots and uppercuts

[Boxerbeetle]

Much better fight than I thought it would be, good little scrap.

All this talk of world titles put him in with someone like Rabchenko or Clottey

Smith Vs Maciel would be a cracker

Just looking at the rankings him v Glen Tapia who fought Kirkland would be fun.... While it lasts

[handsofstone]

Maciel would be a good fight or Daniel Dawson

Has Jack Culcay vacated the European?
