    What do you make of Huck? He's quite raw but a real handful for anyone. Seems to fight in spirts though so could probably be outpointed by the right fighter.

    This was a good domestic scrap, was entertaining in parts and you didn't know what was going to happen next.

    Friday fight night has had many entertaining fights over the last 12 months and I applaud them for that.

    Huck is alright. He's a bit crude and wild with his punches. I doubt if hes thrown a straight punch in his life. He already has been completely outboxed, and then his stamina shown up to the point he was stopped on his feet against Cunningham. And from what I've seen he hasn't learn from that defeat, he fights the same.

    Good European level fighter.

    Dolan was already Commonwealth champ

    Oh yeah I was aware of the Cunningham defeat but what I meant was it wouldn't even take someone of that caliber to beat Huck. A well schooled fighter, such as Dolan, would have a chance. Not yet though obviously.

    Should have jumped on him start of the fifth and he might have had half a chance. Didnt really look fired up on the way to the ring either.

    I dont recall him throwing one hook or uppercut all night. Against a fighter like Norton he should have been pressing him with a tight defense bit of head movement and drop bombs on him. Left hook leads followed up with that big right hand that he had success with.

    are we all in agreement that it was a headbutt that dropped norton 2nd time in the 4th.

    norton has a joke personality but my god that guys style is all over the place,



    dolan seemed gunshy really doesnt have any confidence in throwing punches, maybe it was the style of norton that made him so hunkered down, but he is just not showing any pisaz

    I rewound that second knockdown several times and it was a cute short left hand that Norton walked onto. I thought it was a headbutt at first but after looking at it closely he definatly catches him.

    I was getting a bit ahead of myself. I'm sure he will win it at some point. He's only really competing with Norton, and Norton is old, its inevitable.

    Enjoyed this one, Norton's a very awkward fighter, which sometimes leads to him being in weak fights. He's got skills though. Dolan looked decent.

    He's one to watch imo.

    gets hit a bit too much but hopefully he can address that.

    Very basic boxing but a half decent scrap due to the ebb and flow.
