im lookin for smigga to be back in the ring by july magees got a defense in may against some russian smigga wants to win the lonsdale outright so another defense b4 Magee
only way hes giving up that lonsdale belt is for a world title shot what ever happened to swiftys english title shot that was supposed to be last week.... i reckon hes not far off challenging lindsay and simpson for their british and commonwealth titles
he said after his fight that with there being 3 title fights on the bill already, frank couldnt put another one on. But has been promised next fight is for the english!!
did u go last week ? if ya left straight after the smigga fight ya should of stayed to see joe selkirk that was a knock out and a half
i did mate, and was with 6 other people who all wanted to go for a pint, really wanted to watch it, heard was a good stoppage.
****ing unbelievable knock out was worth staying the extra 20 mins only lasted 2 mins he knocked him spark out
gutted mate. You know what, i have watched smiggas fight back a couple of times now, and some of the quick shots he landed, although not of knockout power, were quality. Not a quality fight all in all, but there are signs there that smigga has maybe got sopmething extra to help make him competitive at world level. There was a fair bit of holding, and in the first 3 rounds, i would say smigga was as guilty as dodson, but as the fight wore on, dodson was just coming in with his head down, and holding on. There were a couple of times smigga had dodson rocked, had he have stood off a little bit more, i am sure the stoppage would have come. Smigga also took an excellent shot from dodson, think it was the 6th, an uppercut, which was a class shot.
i havent had the chance yet to watch it back must watch it on youtube in the next few days to be honest i had it a lot closer than the judges did on the score card
so whos next u think? maybe it COULD be anderson or maybe a rematch with quigley like warren said :think
after watching lindsay last night, i reckon ste's a couple of half descent opponents away from these guys. lindsay is good but he has little power and all of his shots are hooks. when ste gets some experience, he could clean up this domestic division.
doubt there will be a rematch with quigley he is dropping down to middleweight now and i reckon he will stay there as for anderson hes the only real option out there along with dilks only other 2 ya can think of would be groves or degale but they need a bit more experance under their belt
thats what im saying get the english title have another 3/4 fights he'll clean up in 2011 in my opinion
cant see it bein dilks personally, hes way behind paul!! i think it will either be groves or anderson because theres no need for frank warren to put degale in with another one of his fighters... it would be like giving one of them up!! whats up with the 'dery destroyer' john duddy bythe way? any closer to a title shot? i havent really been payin attention! :think
