does the location favor either fighter- crowd support, biased judging??
just to let u no martin garys hit 8st 7 today mate weight is no problem as u no in the edmonds fight he was alot stronger at bantam this weight is garys ideal weight its his fighting weight i understand what your saying martin but if your basing your conclusion well some of it on being drained at the weight DONT because garys flying mate and is WELL up 4 this one but dont expect it 2 be a toe 2 toe war coz it wont either way mate i think were in for a good fight when you out next martin ????Londonirish wrote:neil hibbert wrote:he maybe strong but he wont be near as srong as gary especially when they have both had a good meal and plenty of fluids, i expect gary to prove the doubters wrong once again and show a certain boxing news writer that hes not keeping the belt warm for napa! 3 days to go!!!Des1 wrote:Another point I'll make is Napa's power is under estimated and his low stoppage percentage is decieving. I'm also sure Davies will be surprised at Napa's physical strength. One thing for sure, its going to be interesting. Young fresh hungry fighter V experianced cute skillfull.
Napa is much Stronger then his record show's thats without a Doubt.. Davis is very strong but lets wait and see how strong he is against Napa when both of them has to make 8s6, i think coming down so much will take it out of him, thats why i dont think he should mix it with Napa, coz Napa will Stop him, he fought Barrington Brown at a weight that he didnt struggle and drain him self to make the weight i think he was put over a few times in that fight fight?? Barrington Brown is also not a Puncher, Rocky Dean aint a puncher either and we know what happened when Davis fought him.. If Davis gets on his Boxing, use his height etc do what the Frence kid done which wont make a nice fight to watch but then i see him nicking it not by much tho as Napa is so up for this one.. Davis Will NOT stop him, if not i see Napa schooling him.. IMO
hopefully theres no biased judging either way and ide say the location bvest suits gary theres a load of us going for this should be fun cheersparryhook wrote:does the location favor either fighter- crowd support, biased judging??
very fair post that mate once again ill say look at the edmonds fight championship weight gary won 7 tko and had loads in the tank so i understand what your saying mate i do but cancel that out it seems alot of people are thinking garys going to be weight drained he really isnt hes at championship weight now ready to go and really looking forward to it cant wait2 days to go cheersTheGoods wrote:Cracking little fight this and one I have been umm-ing and ahh-ing about for some time. Not seen a great deal of Davies but seen plenty of Napa (good friend and former England team-mate of a good pal of mine Ian Cooper). Skill wise I struggle to see how Davies can top the 'Dappa' One. Napa didn't look himself last time out but basically knows if he loses this he has nowhere to go. He's fine at the weight but can we say the same about Gary? As Mickey Hunter showed last week there's a difference between being able to make weight and being able to box effectively at the weight. Am leaning towards Napa to put on a show here against a raw, inexperienced opponent. 13/8 Napa on points looks the bet to me. But as you gentleman know... it's not beyond the realms of possibility that I may tip up a turkey here

so is napa favourite martin ye and by alot m8 thanks lad leeLondonirish wrote:Any round for example thats 33/1 means you put on a tenner you get back £330 plus your tenner. Napa to win on points 6/4 means for every £4 you put on you get £6 back plus the £4. Davis on points 9/4, if you put a tenner on you get back £22.50 plus the tenner...

they showed 4 rounds on sky not being biased mate because was very close fight but not enough to take a champions belt a load of bollocks imo even sky commentaters said it wasnt enough to take a champiuons title but we will see and he was right get the full fight and watch it then come again plz gd fight thoDes1 wrote:Napa had too much experiance, and at this time too much ability. I bet Davies was suprised at Napa's physical strength...People shouldn't look at this guys record and take his strength for granted!
But Davies will learn from this, he will improve by having mixed it with a master boxer over championship rounds. He will come again.
Ok, I gatherd the rounds they showed was the story of the fight...yes, shouldn't assume that in hindsight. Didn't really catch the commentry, shame full fight wasn't shown. Either way Im sure it was a good learning fight for Davies, giving him more experiance and Im sure he'll be champ again.leeharding wrote:they showed 4 rounds on sky not being biased mate because was very close fight but not enough to take a champions belt a load of bollocks imo even sky commentaters said it wasnt enough to take a champiuons title but we will see and he was right get the full fight and watch it then come again plz gd fight thoDes1 wrote:Napa had too much experiance, and at this time too much ability.
