Chisora vs Pala/Kovalev vs Silakh/Stevenson vs Bellew Fight Night Discussion

Evening lads,

Firstly we have the Boxnation show:

Skeete vs Lynes is coming up. 10 rounds for the vacant English Welterweight Title.

Then Frank Buglioni vs Stepan Horvath for the WBO European title.

Then Chisora defends his European Title vs Pala who's a late replacement but a replacement of decent enough quality to give ''Delboy'' some rounds.

Then we cross over to Sky Sports for the HBO double header..

Kovalev vs Silakh followed by the main event.

Can Bellew make his dreams into a reality or will Stevenson make this a nightmare for him.

 

Is it me or is the ring in a mess? Looks like parts of the canvas aren't matted down and fighters could easily trip up?...

 

Skeete down in the second round after a looped right hand to the temple. He stayed down and seemed clear but Lynes will take great confidence from how easy it was to land that shot.

Not the stinker many thought it would be..

 

Skeete getting a bollocking from Alan Shaw. He's controlling the rounds but Lynes explodes to life and lands with the looping right hand because of Skeete stepping back in straight line, standing tall with hands down.

Lynes offering some head movement which is troubling Bradley.

 

Think Lynes is head hunting a tad. Would like to see him jab to the body. And shuffle in off that jab and then work Skeete over.

Skeete's got a lot of work to do. Think he's going to struggle on the step up if he doesn't sort these issues out.

Sorry bud . I did notice there's no rbr threads on here recently.

Nice to see Esham Pickering in Mitch Mitchell's corner. Good fighter in his day..

 

I hope so or this place may as well close down!. I agree though it seems dead here on fight night which is bizarre.

Frank B's problem for me is his feet. Flat footed and not creating openings with a side step either side. Hence why he gets caught with odd straight punch because he's straight down the line.

His hands move more then his feet at times. Good to see he's relaxed but the hands need to be more active in the punching stakes and his feet in creating the angles.
