Price KO2 Skelton. Skelton ate some big shots from Price right but took them well and there was a lack off agression from Price following them up - perhaps weary of coming in and rushing it.

Catches Skleton with a sickening left hook to the body though near the end of the round and Skelton retreats to the ropes - Price bangs another 2 solid left hooks in on the same spot & Skelton crumbles, can't get up, and the towel comes in.

No talk of Tyson Fury tonight...? I just switched it on. Seems a pretty tame fight; usually Fury's fights are entertaining in some way or another.

He certainly looks like he trains a lot harder these days as opposed to the earlier days:

Fury's fight was never going to be entertaining tonight. Kevin Johnson is as negative as they come.

Hopefully Cotto vs. Trout later tonight will provide a bit more entertainment, but it's highly possible that fight will be lacking in entertainment as well.

Take a bow Austin Trout. Wins a UD against Cotto in Madison Square Garden. Excellent performance and fully deserved win. 117-111x2 and 119-109 are a fair reflection of how the fight went IMO.

119-109 is a fucking disgrace. Most of the pundits ringside had Trout by 2 rounds - which is how i had it too. I know there was alot of clsoe round which could easily have went to Trout for a greater margin, but 119-109 is a joke. Some judges are just shocking.

And btw, Oscar DeLaHoya tweeted he had Cotto winning!

I had 117-111 for Trout. Honestly, I don't have much of a problem with 119-109. There was some really close rounds and if the judge gives them to Trout then it's easy to arrive at that score. It was a bit wide, but I've seen a lot worse scorecards than that.

HA! Oscar is funny on twitter. He also said that Peter Quillin vs. Winky Wright was 'fighting at its best' so I wouldn't take much note of what Oscar said. Complains about Top Rank mismatches as well then goes and puts his 'Golden Boy' in with Josesito Lopez.

I have a hunch Marquez will win tomorrow.

You'd have to say from the 3 fights, he's pretty unlucky to be sitting at 0-2-1.

A couple of differences of opinion and that could easily of been 3-0-0, and it would be hard to argue with.

he's "luckier" not to be 3-0 down considering the judge that scored it a draw later admitted to fucking p the first round scoring it 10-7 & not 10-6.

depending on what you consider luck i guess.

but sure, a different set of judges and he couldve picked up maybe even all 3 wins.

cant wait for this fight tomorrow, Pacquaio has maxed out the 147 limit, with JMM coming in at great shape a very lean 143.

Quite a lot of boxing on tonight.

Barker v Hope on Sky Sports which is followed by Brian Magee vs. Mikkel Kessler.

James DeGale on Channel Five from 10pm.

And then the Pacquiao-Marquez card in the early hours.

(tu) good night of boxing.

no doubt it won't be till about 6am the marquez - pac fight is on? if so think i'll get up early for it, never usually make it and end up falling asleep otherwise :lol:
