He got a Draw with winless James Oliphant

Anyone see what wood vs bailey was like?
Was it stopped on the cut?

Shane doesn't like fighters from the rhubarb triangle

[the truth]

Guy should retire , going nowhere and should count him sled lucky he can call himself a former British champion , the cruiserrweight division in the uk is terrible to say the least

Why should he retire? He can make decent money as a journeyman who used to be the British champion.

you lost your marbles?

Still plenty to offer. I thought he was robbed in PF as well. Scored a legit knockdown and it wasnt counted. That was the difference in the scoring.

Yes it was stopped on a terrible cut over left eye

[DannyNaz]

Cheers spider how was it going until then?

Leigh won the 1st rd , and then the bout was stopped in the 2nd due to the cut .

Looked like Leigh was in fantastic shape and was confident although im sure he would have preferred a few more rounds .

Of the other bouts on the show ---

Terry Maughan beat Rick Boulter on points in what was a descent contest .

Jason Booth was superior in outscoring his opponent who if i remember correctly was Ryan McNicol .

Shane Mcphilbin drew with James Oliphant in a fight that i think shane seemed very disapointed in himself , i did score it as a draw but shane said after the bout that he thought he was lucky to get the draw , or words to that effect . To be fair rather than criticising shane id say that Oliphant made a nuisance of himself and smothered shanes work etc , made things uncomfortable , it wasnt great to watch but i think its only fair to give the opponent a bit of credit .



Also can i point out to whoever wrote the front page news article that you have added 10 losses to Ian Baileys record for some reason

[DannyNaz]

Cheers for the write up appreciate that mate.

Gutted for Shane, I know he was looking to get back to winning ways.

Saw Leigh at weigh in! Looked in tip top shape!

He got a Draw with winless James Oliphant

How come was at Heavy?

He didn't look great and admitted as much after. The bout had lots of holding/clinching and very little clean work. It was announced at heavy because both boxers were over the 14st 4 cruiser limit. Shane weighed 15st 8lb iirc.

It was actually announced as a cruiserweight bout .

although yes they both weighed around the same , shane was definately 15st 8 , Oliphant may have been 15st 6 i think

Thanks for the replies, just curious to know why he moved to heavy and I thought as much Oliphant isn't the most technical fighter

Shane hasn't moved to heavy as such. He just took a fight on an under card at an agreed weight that is above his usual fighting weight. Happens quite a lot on under card bouts.

Can I just point out shane damaged is shoulder at the end of the second round. He is going hospital tomorrow as it keeps giving him problems. I think a drew was fair really.

Ill probably give him a bell later , i do vaguely remember him mentioning his shoulder but in total honesty i was rushing back from the bar at the time as Leigh was just getting in the ring so i wasnt fully paying attention .

But like i said earlier in the thread , lets give Oliphant credit , he made it as difficult as possible and got the best result of his career so far .

with all due respect....james oliphant is one of the most unskilled professional boxers i have ever watched live. very very disappointing.

Sorry mis-wrote I meant why he decided to fight at Heavyweight on this show
