Hi Rob. :hi: Hey guys have been out of the country and out of the loop for the past week. Can someone give me a roundup on these points. Saw Hopkins vs Dawson is a rematch going to happen? Nothing confirmed as far as I know. Saw the first 4 rounds of Linares vs DiMarco but started to fall asleep with jetlag? How did Linares fall away? Linares' face was a complete mess and he just seemed to fall apart from the 10th (?) round, he started trading with DeMarco a bit more and then came off worse. It seemed all he had to do was keep his distance and cruise to a decision, no idea why he changed his mind. Bellew vs Cleverly. How did the majority score it, whats next for either man? I scored it 8-4 first time round to Cleverly, then 7-5 to Cleverly on second viewing. Look at the thread with a poll started by Wallet for how everyone else saw it. How did DeGale get on? Have heard he stuggled? DeGale was rocked a few times and looked to make the job harder than expected. Still cannot throw a punch properly. Was Quigg sensational against Booth? Quigg looked very good, but Booth seemed disinterested and like he had seen better days and at a better weight for himself. I think it may be the end for Booth, or a move down in weight. How was Williams vs Nortan? Don't ask. Awful. Whats Box Nations coverage been like? I'm enjoying it, it's a bit ropey - but that's to be expected at this stage. What have ringside talked about with no boxing on Sky? Haven't seen it. David Haye?

All of the above sums it up pretty well. Ringside spent alot longer on Booth/Quigg than they usually do and had a good last segment about weight loss before a fight. Norton/Williams was horrible, as sum1 said it looks like the judges finally got fed up of Nortons style. Had Cleverly by a round both times ive seen it but given him different rounds each time. Quigg looked very good but Booth should walk away, he doesnt need that type of fight anymore. Hopkins got his title back, rightly so. Boxnation coverage has been better but it did kick out during the seventh round of Donaire.
I thought the Ring Mag kept Hops as their champ. A few days later, I thought the decision was overturned to a technical Draw, and that the WBC reinstated B-Hop as champ
The WBC have ruled it a technical draw but they can't change the official verdict. The CSAC does that, and they're going to discuss it in December. For now though, the result is still Dawson TKO2 Hopkins.
:|:|:| I stand corrected. I thought once the WBC overturn the result the Cali State commision would follow suit
Saw Hopkins vs Dawson is a rematch going to happen? I think it is up in the air. Dawson can avoid a tough night and Hopkins can avoid the best opponent at 175. Saw the first 4 rounds of Linares vs DiMarco but started to fall asleep with jetlag? How did Linares fall away? DeMarco stuck with it and busted him up. Bellew vs Cleverly. How did the majority score it, whats next for either man? Opinions are split. I had it 6-6. How did DeGale get on? Have heard he stuggled? Competative and tough fight. He needs to find his style. He brawls but without the physical tools to do so. He needs to box sometimes and be aggressive sometimes. It all depends who he is fighting. Was Quigg sensational against Booth? Not sensational but dominant. How was Williams vs Nortan? Norton is boring. Williams did nothing. Williams turned it on and the judges gave him the decision. Many think its controversial. Norton pays for not engaging and the judges probably gave him round for just walking forward sometimes. Whats Box Nations coverage been like? I think there are still some teething issues but they will develop a format and stick with it. 2 or 3 cards a week is always promising. What have ringside talked about with no boxing on Sky? They don't seem to have blackballed non Sky boxing. They also spoke about things like prizefighter and quigg vs booth. They had good topic discussions on things like making weight.
