Boxing 2018

Can't see Warrington holding the belt for very long, he's bang average.

I think he'll have it for a while.

 

A guy who can draw 15-20k people is going to be fighting at home against average opponents for the next year, at an absolute minimum.

[Jay86]

They need a different way of scoring these fights, the scorings a disgrace more often than not. How was that a split? Warrington won that easily in my opinion.

 

By the way how shit is this production, Eddie Hearn will be pissing himself at how amateur this is. He’s a massive whopper and I can’t stand half of what he does and says but his boxing shows are 1st Class.

[Curly]

I had that at 3-9, 4-8 at a push. Had a stream with no commentary so thought I was probably well out.

You are probably correct from a business perspective but he's really nothing special.

[dickie mint]

Cracking bout.

[dickie mint]

Majority draw,it was close but Jack was just up I thought but no complaints it's was a great bout and a rematch is a cert,enjoyed it.

[Kevin D]

Thought a draw was a good result. Jack beat him up, but we score fights based on rounds won and Jack essentially gave the first 6 rounds away.

[Remmie]

Oh balls forgot about this, was looking forward to it as well. Any knockdowns? Jack really is proving to be a top quality fighter

Cuts or no cuts, Warrington won easy, as you say. It was a good fight, except it became a bit more dull when it was apparent neither one had the power to drop the other.

[loadsoftrophies]

Cracking fight that, was hoping Jack would beat that piece of shit but in fairness Stevenson came back strong in the 11(?) with that bodyshot that won him the round.  Surely Jack has to start the rematch quicker....if we get one.

[Elite]

Great fight. I thought Jack won by 1 or 2 rounds due to the onlslaught from rounds 6-9 where Stevenson looked done.

 

I don't think Stevenson will fancy a rematch after that.

[sir roger]

I wonder how boxers would cope if they weren’t warned about obeying the refs command at all times and to protect themselves at all times at the start of every fight.

[Elite]

Fair play to Ian John Lewis as well, took a cracking shot from Jack.

[sir roger]

The Stevenson Jack fight was funny listening to Paulies commentary louder than Macklins because he was shouting that loud 2 seats away.

[Dr Nowt]

Stevenson will always have a special place in my heart for making Bellew look like a giraffe on an escalator immediately before stopping him.

[DanDanShaw]

I had a weird feeling Warrington would do that all week, Selby's dead at the weight.  I doubt we'll see him again, the only reason he was half relevant was because of the belt.  He isn't a name, he doesn't sell tickets and now he'll be in a new division with fuck all to offer anybody.

 

Jack / Stevenson was boss from round 6 onwards, I had Jack winning but he never fights for the full 3 minutes of a round so all his draws are on him.  He showed Stevenson far too much respect at the start.

[The Woolster]

Yeah, its kind of fitting that him and DeGale drew, they both give away far too many rounds when they don't need to

[DanDanShaw]

Weird isn't it mate, Degale does it because I think he has stamina issues (even though Jim McDonnell repeatedly tells us he's a 15 round fighter" - but Jack seems to be a bit of a stamina machine, so it doesn't make sense.  I wouldn't mind a rematch between Jack and Stevenson but Adonis only fights once a year and if I was Jack I wouldn't be waiting until mid-2019 to fight again.

[Elite]

The interviewer made a good point when he was speaking to Jack, along the lines that the rounds Jack wins he absolutely batters his opponent but the ones he loses its by a small margin.

[DanDanShaw]

I’d love Warren to seriously rival Matchroom but this is abysmal production. The stadium is a third full, they’ve got the Kaiser Chiefs doing the walk on music and for some reason Tyson Fury is waiting in the ring. It’s just weird.

 

In fairness, the last time Hearn did a stadium show with somebody not named Anthony Joshua, he only managed to get 14,000 people into Goodison.

[The Woolster]

My feeling when watching DeGale is that its more out of a kind arrogance, thinking he is both better than the other fella, and also that his boxing skills will win him the rounds.

[The Woolster]

But he then followed it by asking if Jack thinks should that taken into account by the judges. Taken into account how!?!

 

You could maybe get the judge to give a overall winner if they've given a draw, but we don't trust a lot of these judges at the best of times!

Yeah, it's a round by round sport, the only way that it could be taken into account is giving 10-8 rounds but without knock-downs that's very dodgy ground.

Something like a 10-9.5 round if it's very close and a clear one gets a 10-9, could promote more action as well.

I don’t think maths is the strong point of a lot of these judges. Have you seen how long some of them take to work it out at the end? If you start throwing .5’s in there as well it’ll blow their minds.
