daniel Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Just as groves was getting on top to a degree as well, groves unlike last time saved loads for the final few rounds, and then out of nowhere bang, game over! One of the best single punch knockouts ive ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best single punch knockouts ive ever seen! It reminded me of the Hearns vs Roberto Duran punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Saving for the later rounds is always a risky strategy as you have to get there. Raising your work rate in the second half of the fight is very difficult as you've had half a fight of another bloke hitting you. Enjoyable fight to watch, some good technical bits and the odd tear up, finished with a peach of a punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyOAFC Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thought Groves was getting stronger but Froch delivered a beasty right hook which sent Groves nearly out cold. Good right hook. Good fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Great shot, meant I could get the tube back to my hotel too so although I had backed Groves to win on points that punch probably saved me a fair bit on a taxi. Anyone staying up for the Brian Rose fight after the England game ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 As expected rose was totally out of his depth, nice bloke but maybe domestic or European is the level he is, which is nothing to be ashamed of, seen him a few months back at the trafford centre, seems a lovely bloke. On a side note ive just purchased tickets for July 12th at the liverpool echo arena, looking like a good card for that show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Crawford V Gamboa was a very good fight last night. Two of the best bang at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Aye, that size disadvantage was too much for Gamboa. He should go to 130 and fight Lomachenko. Crawford in the meantime should get himself up to 140 as there's some huge fights up there and he's got potential to clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Never in a million years were them scorecards right tonight. 117-111,117-111,119-109 all against Paul Smith. It was a 1 or 2 round either way fight. Boxing really is :censored: sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dish Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yep, Smith won it for me. Although it was two pretty poor fighters. How Abraham has even got a belt is beyond me - not even in the top 10 in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Sky's bias was worse than that 119-109 scorecard, at least the judges had the right winner. No way Smith won that fight. He gave a good effort, showed heart in there and did better than a lot of people expected and proved a lot of doubters wrong about what level a fighter he is. Isn't that enough? He didn't win the fight. Abraham blocked most of Smith's shots to the head, and Smith didn't go to the body nearly as much as he should have once it was evident he was having most of his success throwing to the body. I turned the commentary off after Nick Halling proclaimed that Smith "Hurt and shook" Abraham when it was clearly evident the shots caused King Artur no problem what so ever. And I scored it 116-112 for Abraham. Edited September 29, 2014 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I didn't watch the fight, but I presume Jim Watt was co-commentator ? I am :censored:ing sick of him. Watched Tavoris Cloud's fight from the weekend on youtube v some Russian fella called Beterbiev.....now he will give most guys in the light-heavies serious problems.

jburbri Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 After watching the fight back I had it a draw or 115-113 either way because Abraham shots where hitting the gloves and he looked to coast many of the middle rounds. The scoring was shameful and astonishing. It was worse than giving canelo a draw against mayweather, when mayweather dominated every round of that fight.

dish Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 For whats its worth I streamed it with Russian commentary so wasn't swayed by any bias. A lot of what Smith threw was blocked but, he must have thrown twice what Abraham threw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which club is that? Impressive line up of guests! Surprised about the Fury's though as Tyson's uncle (who was Hughie's dad and Peter's brother) passed away the other day. They still confirmed as attending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Friday just gone lad. Ah, fair enough, did you get the Comical down? Bet they'd have run a story on that. Anyone see Anthony Joshua's fight at weekend?Yeah, it was impressive but far from surprising. Backtov is a 5'11 out of shape, plodder, Joshua is a 6'7 Brick :censored:house. And Hearn's and Sky's hype machine bollocks irks the :censored: out of me. He's an excellent prospective heavyweight with a high ceiling but Ill reserve judgement until he beats up the heavyweights his own size who can throw a punch back. I'm sure he'll go far, and he's got the personality and marketability to be a promoter's wet dream. Its just far too early to be calling him Lennox Lewis mkII and stating he could beat anyone in the division, as Hearn did after the fight.

Yard Dog Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I didn't attend this one but the Chron have sent people in the past and the fella who runs the club is always in the paper so I think he's on good terms with them, so they may have had someone there. I was told tonight that one of the Fury family kids was fighting hence why Tyson, Hughie and Peter Fury were all there. Crolla is a sound lad and has been to a few of the club's shows. Eddie Chambers and Michael Gomez also there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Michael Katsidis training at Oldham Boxing this week. Will be surprised if Coyle beats him. Love his aggression and warrior style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Devastating KO loss that for Katsidis. Time to hang them up now, he doesn't need to be a journey man opponent for the Tommy Coyle's of this world. He really was a spent force after those losses to Marquez and Guerrero, both tough fights in which he took a lot of punishment and never been the same since.
