Vote was rigged don't know why we expected anything else.. No democracy here.. At least don't need my passport

3 fire alarms at counting centre in dundee, fraud team from police in Glasgow, footage of women icing yes votes to no, ballot boxes stuck in transit , man we live in such a corrupt union it's unreal, done with now and now all we need is for ronnie to come down and leave no chance of cheating, was told Troy is struggling with the weight from someone close to camp, hope he makes weight

No wonder Glasgow & Dundee were overall 'yes' voters!

To be fair, it's all been a bit quiet in the local news this time. The only recent article promoting the fight is based around quotes from Ronnie:

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/ ... ct-7737859

Troy made the weight at a second attempt in his other eliminator but was in great shape. Its on utube. Cant see him struggling with the weight both lads had plenty of notice for this fight. Hope their some cameras at the show as I can't make it. Know a couple of neutrals who r going so will trust in them if not.

All the best to those involved on both sides in this tomorrow.

Does anyone know where/when the weigh in is today?

I don't know mate.. Ronnie went down last night.. If you go on twitter and ask @boxingcutsman that's Dean Edwards, Troys trainer sure he will tell you

Cheers bud. I'll have a look on there.

2pm Carters at the SkyDome in Coventry

The results page says that James won on a split decision.

Would be good to hear how it went.

James SD, 97-94, 97-94, 95-96

Was very close.. Ronnie's work was cleaner.. Troy hot a lot of gloves had some success.. Ronnie hurt him in the last 2 rounds.. I had it 1 round to Ronnie a lot of close rounds I thought it had draw written all over it..

Thanks. Good fight?

You are joking ? Seems your the only person in the venue that thought that then mate.
Ronnie never hurt Troy at all, Troy took his foot off the gas the last 2 rounds cuz he was a good bit ahead, and other than maybe the 5th Ronnie didn't win a round, although he kept trying, he was just too slow and hitting fresh air a lot Troy out boxed him for 95% of the fight and pushed him back at ease when he wanted. The plan was to show Troy can box aswell has punch. It was a great fight and nothing but respect for Ronnie who most definitely can & will come again, he's a top lad.

This opinion is not just mine, for those that may think I'm being biased, many people were also there including tommy gilmour (Ronnies manager) Dave coldwell, Jon Pegg, the list is endless, it was never a split decision, the 1st 2 scorecards were not fair off tbh, Fuk knows what the 3rd judge was watching but for most in the venue Troy won by 3/4 rounds

If you score punched from hitting gloves then I agree.. Ronald hit with a lot of jabs throughout the fight.. You need to watch 9 and 10 again Troy was holding on.. The rounds were close Troy was the aggressor in the sense he held the centre of the ring but he was trying to counter.. I like clean punches fact is Ronnie hit far far more than Troy did.. Will say Ronnie got going far too late in the fight I had Ronnie winning 6 of the rounds.. 1 was close I liked Ronnie's cleaner work.. The atmosphere swayed the judges it was very close..
