11/19 JoJo Dan vs Selcuk Aydin II - WBC eliminator - Mayweather's Mandatory

just saw the vid knockdown looked clean to me, but obviously not a damaging one

 

The first fight was ugly but close. Dan was pushing with the shoulder to obtain the distance and Aydin was hitting after break command. At the end of the fight either decision was possible without calling it a fraud.
If Dan will add some power to the hits and Aydin will add some work rate to his power punches, it will be an entertaining fight.

 

Jo Jo Dan looks big for a welterweight. And Diaconu should drop down to SMW.

 

bump!

 

Come on Jojo ! **** him up ! :twisted::twisted::twisted:

Hey, where is Trilu ? :twisted: We want Trilu back ! :twisted::twisted:

:hat

 

Trilu is me ,
Got banned for a month and I had to make Trilu up.
He's my alter "Non-biased" ego me.

 

I know dude I was kidding. :yep

 

Trilu was a decent bloke ! RIP :|

“Well for the first fight, I was sure I was going to win,” said Jo Jo. “I was a little bit nervous for the scorecards, but I was thinking I won. I punched a lot and Aydin did nothing. After the first half of the fight, after the 6th round—he did mostly nothing. I was confident I was going to win the fight. Even my corner, my guys from the corner…they were so happy. Before the decision (My corner) said ‘Jo Jo you did a good job and you’ll win for sure!’ But it didn’t happen.”
On the official scorecards, judge John Keane of England scored the contest 116-111 in favor of Jo Jo Dan. Judges Daniel Van de Wiele (Belgium) and Bela Florian (Hungary) however, scored it 114-113 for Selcuk Aydin, giving the hometown fighter a split decision victory. More frustrating even, is the fact that had a bogus knockdown not been called in the opening round by referee Ian John-Lewis, the fight would have been ruled a draw…the extra point for Aydin tipping the scorecard in his favor. In that particular sequence, Aydin hit Jo Jo on the back of the head, during a break. This was after Aydin had already attempted to hit on the break moments earlier. That it was ruled a knockdown was absurd.
“Well, I was surprised when I see the referee start counting,” said Jo Jo. “I didn’t expect it. He hit me on the back of my head. When I see the referee start counting I said ‘what happened man?’ It’s not fair. Not fair.”
Now, roughly a year and a half later…Jo Jo gets his chance to settle unfinished business…and he’s doing so going back into enemy territory. The fight will take place at
the Hayri Gür Arena in Selcuk Aydin’s hometown of Trabzon, Turkey. A sellout crowd is expected, and the fight will be broadcast live in over 30 countries internationally. Additionally, portions of the proceeds from the event will be donated to help victims of the terrible earthquake that hit the province of Van, which is located roughly 400 miles southeast of Trabzon.
Although there is always skepticism going back to the same region of a controversial decision…Jo Jo is confident the outcome this time will be different.
“This is my job. My job is to fight and go back in the ring and to fight him and do my best to win that fight.”
Judging the rematch will be Belgium’s Roger Tilleman, Switzerland’s Fabian Guggenheim, and Montenegro’s Predrag Aleksic, with Italy’s Enza Jacaponi supervising. Controlling the action inside the ring will be Italy’s Massimo Barrovecchio, who most recently was seen refereeing Vitali Klitchcko’s knockout victory over Tomasz Adamek in Poland this past September.

The date on the thread title is misleading , Blame Kirk.

 

It is a foregone conclusion that Jo will get robbed again as he won the last fight 9 rounds to 3 at worst, IMO. He has to knock Aydin out to win, and I'm not sure if he can do that.

 

Neither of those 2 guys will ever fight Floyd.

No money in that fight. I reckon he givs up the belt rather than waste his time with them
