Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte & Filip Hrgović vs. David Adeleye + Nick Ball vs. Sam Goodman RBR.

I don't know about you guys, but this has been a pretty good card for me thus far.
I am quite enjoying myself here. Tsutsumi fight was a bit too one sided, but the finish was entertaining, and the fight was short.

 

Ah we talking about the same Sam Goodman?

 

Nicholas Ball vs. Samuel Goodman, 12 rounds @ featherweight

 

I think Hrgrovic, always has a suspect engine and although he hits hard he could hit much harder if he turns his body in more (esp his uppercut is bad) to much arm punching. He's very good though in long left rights en the short right hook.

For this fight his engine was quite good, however i don't know why he drops his hands esp later on in the fight. He did give Adeleyde a change just dropping his hands esp his right hand, he was open for a left hook lot of times. i thk Adelayde's just bad with some decent power but bad workrate

 

i can barely understand Ball. Brits, tell me, what region of the UK is that accent from? Good lord. (I'm American, and yeah, I know we have some rough ones too -- ever meet anyone from Mississippi?)

 

Shogun had great hands and natural power. Probably could have been a good boxer had he gone that route.

 

Bin dipper

 

Oh, and it is indeed "Nicholas" Ball. (sleuthed some old articles from his amateur and Muay Thai kickboxing days...he switched to going by Nick at some point but was in fact born a Nicholas. )

 

Liverpool

 

had to google that. Manchester?

 

Liverpool.

 

IVE PLAYYYED THESE GAMES BEFOOORE
Ive seen a nick ball fight beofee

...

 

He's from Liverpool around the north east of England. I get the Scouse accent is grating but you haven't heard the accent of someone from the Black country, Birmingham or Newcastle/Sunderland yet.

 

Yes, you scored in the Ball vs. Doheny RBR, in the thread I quoted @CST80 from above. ^

In that same thread, C also said this:

Has your stance softened with the passage of five months?

 

accents don't grate me; i just have an issue understanding certain ones i guess when i haven't had a lot of exposure to them.

i will say, my knowledge of Brit slang has increased substantially due to Propa.
