    score it? mate i cant count for 2 people over the course of 9 minutes how many good punches landed


    felt that undrwood did some good work but the cleaner sharper shots where from jonas.

    Nah, meant more your overall impression not punch for punch. Thats how I saw it too, good workrate from Underwood but not enough clean shots.

    I reckon the Jonas v Underwood fight was one of the better fights of this tournament so far (that I've seen) in both men's and women's.

    I missed the first few flyweight fights but what I've seen I've really enjoyed so far. Good skills and entertaining fights.

    Wow the Nigerian got the decision. A bit lucky I thought, still...WHO NECKS?!

    I'm not against the idea of women's boxing on principle, just tend not to like it as much. (at least in the pros...with a few notable exceptions like Hanna Gabriels)

    I will probably be tuning in for Marlen Esparza, the American flyweight who was featured on FNF.

    There's also a lot of hype around Irish lightweight Katie Taylor.

    I think it definatly lends itself better to the ams where the lack of power isn't really much of a factor. Makes pro fights less exciting though.

    Taylor is supposed to be the female Lomachenko. Apparently she's so commited to her career she's never had a boyfriend
