I'm 3-1-1 now.
Thought LaBomba defo won the 3rd (?) when he got The Wee Pecker's eye.

[handsofstone]

Edwards grunting genuinely makes watching him more unenjoyable

[Steveh583]

Essomba won the 6. hes just not doing much.

[Steveh583]

Essomba 7th. Edwards needs to give him different looks

[Steveh583]

Edwards took the 8th

[Steveh583]

commentary praising everything Essomba does, but in reality hes being outworked.

[handsofstone]

Essomba having a bit of success orthodox

[skanksta]

I@m 6-4-1 thru' 11 - it could be anything ?

Certainly up for grabs on the final round...

[skanksta]

7-4-1 to the Ladies Tennis player, but If anyone got Essomba winning by similar I wouldn't argue...

[Steveh583]

commentary awful tonight. no acknowledgement of edwards jab at all. he should win it on workrate. they creamed themselves over everything Essomba did, even when he missed or half landed. Barry Jones was shocking tonight.

Yeah maybe I was swayed by that - judges had it a wider UD.
Close fight, but Ed did more.

[handsofstone]

Ive got it a draw 114-114, not an exciting fight but it ebbed and flowed, Edwards outworked Essomba for long spells, flicking out the jab, landed a few rights to catch the eye, Essomba avoided most but couldn't match the workrate of Edwards until the middle rounds when he was able to time the left hands on Edwards, Edwards picked up the pace again landed a couple nice uppercuts but Essomba switched orthodox and has his best spells imo down the stretch, think Edwards felt a couple right hands late on, thought Edwards had a good last to get a draw in my card, thought he'd maybe nick it fair enough but 2 of those cards were too wide, quality over quantity imo

[handsofstone]

Edwards use of the jab was impressive but the jab itself wasn't all that great and he never followed with the right cross nearly enough

[skanksta]

Wow !

[handsofstone]

Fckn hell ref

[handsofstone]

In all fairness to Ali he never went down

[skanksta]

that was some bonus fight ! Ali didn't look like a top amateur ?!

Don't like to be down on a guy annihilated in front of his fans and the telly, but he looked fat and rubbish - why was he some prospect ?

[handsofstone]

Good on Sams

[golden_labrador]

In all fairness to Ali he never went down

his soul visibly left his body though.

I just switched it on too. boom

[johnty1888]

That Ref wants looking at for letting that go on…
Absolutely shocking performance by the man in the middle

Well done to Sams though, he did a proper job on Ali

Absolutely he was concussed most of the fight

apparently this Hasnan Ali, was half decent in the youths, and he'd sold over 300 tickets

Same old story though, pakistani's (and South Asians in general) have horrendous glass jaws, and have a lot of desperate fans

His fans on youtube comments were saying 'future world champion inshallah' and all that lol


So embarrassing getting KO'd that quickly on your debut when you'd sold loads of tickets
