Yafai thinks he can beat Roman Gonzalez. He's struggling here against the 6th best Japanese fighter in the division.

This Japanese guy is very tough to be fair.

Big swelling on Kiko's forehead meaning he has to throw caution to the wind.

[Byrnie]

Martinez hurt him twice to the body in that round.

 

Have to hand it to Kiko, he blocks shots with his face.

I was ringside for Frampton - Martinez II. He took some beating that night. Don't think he's had the same punch resistance since.

 

It's bad if Warrington struggles to hurt him here tonight.

Higher weight as well isn't it?

Was at super bantam, mate.

[Captain Turdseye]

Kiko didn't throw anywhere near as much in that last round.

[Byrnie]

I have Warrington up by 1 going into the 11th.

 

What way did the Yafai bout go?

[Byrnie]

I gave the last two to Martinez.

 

I give him the bout by one point.

He definitely won those last two.

[Byrnie]

4 rounds. Fuck off.

Yafai easy points decision. The Jap was hard as nails though.

Did Yafai look good?

Not his best performance but the Japanese lad would make it tough for anybody, constant pressure and could absorb shots like a sponge

[Byrnie]

They seem like good lads those Yafai's.

 

Hopefully he unifies next and gets a few quid.

[DanDanShaw]

Warrington doesn't have the power to compete at world level, Frampton, Santa Cruz, Diaz, Selby and Valdez would walk through him.  Even Quigg and Mares would beat him handily.

 

I don't think his dad being his trainer helps either.

 

The only other fight I saw this weekend was the Eggington one, I like Eggington, he's basic and basically bulldozes his way through fights but he'll always be fun to watch and he seems like a good kid.  Provodnikov Vs Eggington would be a fun fight.

Looks like Joshua will be fighting Klitschko again, 28th October in Cardiff. Not signed yet though

[fowlerisgod]

Reading that Wach has pulled out from the Whyte fight? Not sure how true this is as it hasn't been confirmed yet but it'll be interesting to see what happens with Whytes opponent and venue now.

Talk of Paul Smith getting another world title shot this time against Tyron Zeuge. I like Paul Smith and hope he gets it and wins it but like fuck he deserves it. He has lost 6 times and 5 of them fights were against the only decent opponents he has faced (De Gale, Groves, Abraham (twice) and Ward).  

[fowlerisgod]

Actually, it's Whyte who has pulled out with a foot injury.

I guess they'll scrap the entire card, ticket sales were already bad - how they thought Whyte could sell out the o2 I'll never know.

 

Paul Smith has never beat a boxer ranked in the WBA's top 15 but here he is fighting for the WBA "world title" for the 3rd time.  They're just as bas as the IBO.

Yeah, they didn't open the full arena like but he's not big enough to headline a show (as the main guy)

 

I presume with tickets being refunded that this could be a plan just to get Parker over for July. I heard Hearn say July 3rd will be o2 again. Whyte v Parker for then?

It's a great news day for those of us that aren't fans of shit lumbering heavyweight boxing.

Could very well be because Parker tweeted "see you soon UK" recently.  The WBA did say that Parker has to face Fury next though.

 

Chisora Vs Helenius is another rematch none of us care about anyway.
