KERRZO 5 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Easily the best prizefighter lineup to date. The quality in the competition is excellent!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyth 3 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Gary McArthur didn't look right at all there. A shadow of the McArthur from the last prizefighter. Gutted for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 That was awful from Gary M, don't know what he was thinking. He does have good defence, seen it in person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KERRZO 5 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Probably drained at the weight but he looked like a rank amateur in there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyth 3 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Brilliant semi-final there, Derry Matthews has improved so much! I remember Choi blasting him out a couple of years ago. Great final now if Sykes wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxi51 48 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 That was awful from Gary M, don't know what he was thinking. He does have good defence, seen it in person.the weight cut just looked to fuck his legs right up, but his technique was shocking.great prizefighter. wonder if buckland will chase sykes for the british title, doubt sykes will want a rematch any.

KERRZO 5 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I loved that they kept calling Sykes the best SFW in Britain cause he is British champ. Erm Ricky Burns is world champ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
