Gash07 26 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thought the Crolla-Matthews was good, stoppage was probably a bit premature but it would have been stopped on that cut anyway IMO.Was a must win fight for Derry and he delivered. Was good to see he was defensively a bit better on the inside than he was in his last fight. Marsili couldn't miss with his uppercut on the inside when they fought.Anselmo Moreno is quality. A fight between him and Mares would be excellent, even better would be Moreno v Donaire - elite defence vs elite offence. Unlikely to happen though because of GBP and Top Rank. I think Moreno v Mares will happen end of this year start of nextNot comparing them as fighters, but when I watch Moreno I can't help but think of Pernell Whitaker.Mares/Donaire would be a better scrap if we're removing promo bullshit, while it lasted. I really liked the look of Fran Vargas on the under. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash07 26 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Mikey Garcia and Celestino Caballero fight at purse bids I believe, Hope this comes off as it would propel Garcia right into the mix with the win I think he'll get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know P4P lists are mythical things but I think in a few years time Garcia will be one of the top fighters in the sport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLoyal 105 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Just remembered the Bellew fight was on. Got the stream up in round 5 just in time for the KO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLoyal 105 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Bellew looked very goodMacintosh was silly though, no defence at all and was stupid tacticsYeah, top fighters won't walk onto punches like that. Still, Bellew is really improving fast while Cleverly seems to be stalling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog19 16 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Billy Joe-Saunders wins by TKO in round 1.I think he'd beat the current Euro Champ Kerry Hope who I thought lost to Proksa. Hopkins-Dawson tonight. Going for Dawson to win on points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 338 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 You could sleep through the first six rounds of a Hopkins fight and miss nothing. I'm trying to pick out people in the first few rows right now, nobody worth noting yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 338 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 How many "accidental" headbutts do you get before they're no longer accidental? Hopkins is launching into him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 338 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Tell me about it mate, on the verge of keeping my eyes open with matchsticks.Hope Dawson lays into him. Hopkins has fought just a plain dirty fight with about three real punches mixed in so far, and of course they're all over his nuts on the HBO commentary.

TBagalag 722 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Dawson just needs to box clever, he is walking through these rounds, just needs to look after that cut. Hopefully this ends Hopkins career, always underwhelmed when I watch him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 338 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It's just tedious. All talk and clutch... he can't throw two punches to save his life anymore.I've got Dawson 5-2 right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 338 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Looks like I got it the same as Lederman, 7-2 with Hopkins in the 3&4.Hopkins has still landed about half a combo, and Kellerman's still getting down on his knees for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 338 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Should've just gone ahead and gone to bed when the wife did.

Shane 338 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 10-2Two of Hopkins' best hits were headbutts, another was the rugby tackle in the 11th.The judge that scored that even was clearly watching the darts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBagalag 722 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thank god that's over, roll on next week for some proper boxing, Can't wait to see Alvarez v Mosley, looking forward to that more than the Mayweather fight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good interview from Dawson, btw. Idol worship of Hopkins among the press here is absurd. He's an awful fighter and dirty as hell. Hope he stays home this time.
