Broner-Maidana, Thurman-Karass, Purdy-Bundu, Braehmer-Oliveira Fight Night Discussion

Lots of bad language in the corner tonight. Actually enjoying Conner VS Goodjohn, both have virtually no power but it's interesting to see an evenly matched battle. Conner is sneaky and Goodjohn is decent defensively but hasn't got a good engine on him.

 

5 rounds to 3 for Goodjohn for me. Connor could possibly pull this back.

 

Yeah I like his shoulder roll but sometimes he does it a little too often and sits on the ropes. His body is an open target sadly Connor hasn't thrown any shots.

He looks very relaxed though, but could he do well in a high pace fight against a pressure fighter? I don't know.

Still, he's doing well tonight and has managed to look good against a tricky opponent in Conner.

 

I liked that fight, I know people have slated the card but so far barring the Paul Smith snoozefest with Ambler, it's been suprisingly decent.

Yafai looks like he's getting complacent now his opponents are getting SLIGHTLY better and fired up and see him as a meal ticket, rather than just coming to survive they're seeing him as easily hittable and I think Lane did really well and might have won a round and tested Yafai with his body shots.

Goodjohn showed his class against Conner, in their trilogy and it was everything you want from a good domestic fight, both men had their moments but Goodjohn's work was cleaner and he had the better defence (and eyecatching punches)

The Ricky Boylan fight I'm expecting to be good, it's a shame they didn't show Floyd Moore because he scored a 4th round TKO in a pretty big upset against Ryan Taylor.

I'll probably not watch Jaime McDonell, his last fight was just awful, the Kevin Mitchell fight will be scrappy but entertaining as he'll want to make a statement.

 

Sets it up for Floyd Moore VS Matty Tew (Portsmouth VS Saints) in a classic Southern Area title fight.

I was impressed with Boylan when I saw him, I think it's a proper 50/50 fight, not bothered that they ain't skilled, the skills will come much later tonight!

You staying up for the Broner VS Maidana? Dunno how some of you people do it, I got Sunday morning football.

 

:good Going with Broner or Maidana? Heart wants Maidana but head thinks Broner will get a gift decision.

You must have been ****ed after that.

Looks like Ogogo has a bit of ring rust, can't figure out how to breakdown Blackwell.

 

Have no interest in Matchroom card with possible exception of Bundu-Purdy fight although if that clashes with Braemher vs Oliveria fight then i won't watch that either.

Also interested in Kubrat Pulev vs Joey Abell fight. I know Abell will almost certainly lose but have followed Joe's career from start and it would be amazing if he managed to pull of the upset of the year especially as he has tremendous power matched with a horrible glass chin.

 

Pulev will demolish Abell, he'll play it safe in the first two and then step it up in the third.

 

Abell nearly did it, had Pulev down in 4th but unfortunately wasn't enough and the moment passed.

Pulev came back and won after Abell retired end of 4th round with an injury.
