Why the **** would he be fighting Macklin?, Macklin couldn't make 154 :-( JM may have been weight drained and gassed (I don't buy it) but the shot that put him down the first time Rhodes had been looking for and trying all fight...dip under the left hand and a right hand hammer over the top. I have no real reason to doubt Moorseys word, but the KD was ****ing savage and the way he went down in stages suggested to me that he wasn't getting up...but then he climbed off the canvas and went at Rhodes like a lion, not the actions of a man who was either drained or gassing.
FFS Ry Dog - your pugilistic knowledge can be written on a *** packet. Run along - cartoon network's on.
Not asking you to buy it pal just speaking the truth. And the shot that put me down WAS a great shot, but i believe if i was even 70% that night i would have won. But lets not dwell on the past ey. And yes i did go after Rhodes after the knockdown, but it was hardly like a lion! More like a cornered little pussycat who was desperate to get away(WIN).:good
Like I said, i've no reason to doubt your word :deal...I was 4 rows back and I honestly thought that you badly hurt Ryan just before he stopped you. Anyways, in my eyes definately domestic fight of the year without doubt, even though i'm sure thats no consolation to you at all. Good luck up at middle :thumbsup
Cheers fella. And yes if it gets british fight of the year i'll have 3(Jones III, Macklin and Rhodes), dont know if anyones done that before??:think:good
It gets my vote. ****ing awesome fight. Thought you could have taken it but hey thats boxing. Plenty fights out there for you get in contention again. Would love to see Macklin II.
Someone earlier in teh thread mentioned originality Dan! I can take it away becos people like always in this country heavily hype people and then hate when they get exposed and i think we should all chill with rhodes cos he aint gonna be a world champ and hes extremely lucky to of won the european belt!
Read before you reply you egg... i said, the moore who fought... macklin,piccirillo would destroy rhodes!!
It would possibly have gotten my vote for fight of the year if it hadn't have been for Anthony Small vs Thomas McDonagh. could you not have stayed at 154 for one more fight and put the Brit Forum (and the rest of the world) at peace by ending Small ?
Ry Dogg, Clarify what exactly you mean by saying Rhodes was extremely lucky to beat Moore. You are clearly lacking in pugilistic knoweledge young man. Now I did tell you earlier to go watch Cartoon Network. I'm not gonna say that now cos its way past your bed time. When you start five finger shuffling, please clean up with a tissue.
