London O2 Sept 12th RBR

Post by Andrew »

Should be a half decent card tonight.

I know how Boylan and Connor went on shame that didn't make the live show should be on later.

Norman v Edwards should be very interesting.

I've found a link to Thomas Masson v Silvio Olteanu, European Flyweight title, starts at half 8. PM me if you'd rather watch that than the O2 show.

Looking forward to seeing how Edwards deals with the step up in class.

Definitely, usually only trains allegedly fighters.

Looking forward to this, long night of boxing ahead. Anyone planning on staying up for the Mayweather bill? I'm considering going to bed for a couple of hours & setting the alarm for 2am when Groves is due on, but not sure yet.

Martinez v Salido will be a belter I would set the alarm a bit earlier !

Is that not on at 3? Groves-Jack 2, Martinez-Salido 3, Mayweather-Berto 4 is what I was expecting.

The B0xnati0n twitter feed is saying Groves at 2am & Mayweather at 4am, so yeah I guess Martinez vs Salido will be 3ish?

Norman is going to have to do a lot more to win on a matchroom show.

Edwards is handling it well. I don't think he'll have a problem in the later rounds either, he isn't wasting nervous energy like I thought he might.

Edwards missing quite a lot. Norman missing more is how I'm seeing it.

Is it not obvious Berto will win thus leading to a rematch? :D

Such a shame that we don't get to see more of the genuinely good Flyweights in action on British TV. Fans would instantly loving watching the likes of Kogawa, Muranaka, Eto, Gonzalez (who is the exception to the rule and will be getting TV exposure), Estrada, Ruenroeng, Arroyo, Ioka, Reveco, Viloria, Mthalane, Tete, Yodmongkol, Saludar, Alvarez and Zoda. Instead we get...this..

Thought Estrada was meh against Alvarez but otherwise, he's been fantastic and is the division's #2 behind Gonzalez

If you get the chance watch Zoda Vs Petchchorhae II it'll be one of the best fights you see this year

Both seem tired and both will learn. Norman needs to show a lot more urgency to keep his title now.
