Good show so far, Blackwell up next could be interesting
Cardle keeps going backwards in every fight I see him. He turned pro after a good amateur career and looked a quality boxer, despite that Gallagher seems to have decided to model Scott Quigg's style for him and he's slowly turning into a pressure fighter, sooner or later most of the head movement will be gone and everything will be done in straight lines, no more spinning off after throwing punches.handsofstone wrote:I had it 114-114 draw,quite a messy fight with a lot of tough rounds to score,just had to pick what you prefer,I thought Cardle salvaged it at the end but Evans probably could've won it if he'd worked a bit harder,he seemed to coast a bit late on,Craig's a class fighter though and usually got the last word in the exchanges,he frustrated Scotty at times and made him look poor but all in all a good competitive scrap
Warren has Liam Williams so could possibly do something with the pair of them,expe wrote:Don't think he can get there, apparently he absolutely killed himself to make the weight against Clark, took 3 attempts and that was only 9st 6. Realistically he needs to be fighting regularly against decent opposition for a while, then to come again at title level. Realistically that isn't going to happen because Warren doesn't think highly enough of him to put him out regularly on his shows and lose a bit of money on him for a while and if he goes back to Wales on small hall shows the budget won't be there to bring good opponents in.Naandrew wrote:Good fight for both. if Evans can make Super Feather he can pick up the British once Walsh moves up a level.

X2. Nothing wrong with thatexpe wrote:Haven't seen the replay yet but in real time the stoppage looked alright, Ryder wasn't really defending himself.
He was hurt, but the shots weren't landing clean. He was about to grab on when Foster intervened. I've seen worse, we all have, but that should have continued. How long was left in the round?expe wrote:Haven't seen the replay yet but in real time the stoppage looked alright, Ryder wasn't really defending himself.
Having watched it back not much was landing as Ryder backed off to the ropes but that seemed to be because Blackwell hadn't got his feet into range yet, there was at least 10 seconds with Ryder's hands down by his waist and he looked completely out of it. Could have maybe let it go a bit longer but Ryder was gone for a decent length of time, at one point it looked like he was holding his hand up to ask Blackwell to stop the assault.JimJim2009 wrote:X2.

Yeah I am chuffed for Nick come up the hard way real tough lad too.handsofstone wrote:Sorry but that's another poor stoppage from Howard Foster,no doubt Ryder was in trouble and just before Blackwell followed him onto the ropes I thought John was quitting but he came firing back,seems Howard made the same mistake as he did in Froch/Groves 1
Can't help but feel delighted for Nick,he deserves it and he showed what a tough,determined fighter he is,only 24 too
