I’m shocked that’s there not more uproar in regard to this. I predicted Warrington to school but I was completely wrong. I think Barry done an absolute number on him and Warrington had no answer.
Galahad didn’t do enough to win the belt imo, lots of spoiling, I’m happy with josh still being the champ but wouldn’t have moaned if it was a draw I think quigg would give Warrington a good fight
Didn't do enough? What does that mean? Did he win the fight???? If it wasn't a world title did he do enough? What did josh do to KEEP the title?
Honestly I think Warrington is being very hard done by here. Warrington landed plenty. I forced myself to rewatch it this morning. Awful fight to score, but far from a robbery. Warrington landed loads of jabs throughout. He made KG miss plenty too, which people are completely overlooking. This was not a robbery. The scorecards were wide, but each and every round was close so that can happen. I've heard people make utterly ridiculous statements comparing KG's performance to that of Mayweather. Big difference is Mayweather would have landed cleaner, and wouldn't have shipped half those shots. Thing is, KG had the beating of him. He has no one to blame but himself.
I knew Galahad would spoil and neutralise Warrington’s biggest assets but for me that decision could have gone either way. If I had to pick I’d say KG didn’t do enough to force the win. His output was too low in the second half. I also disagree with the poster who said he felt Josh was connecting with more punches than most people think. Granted I only saw the fight once live, with all I saw was Josh hitting air really.
I watched it last night with a half dozen beers in me, had KG 5-3 going into the ninth but can't remember how I scored it from there. I watched it this morning minus the beers and was surprised at how well Warrington landed the jab. Took loads of KGs shots on the gloves too. Made me reconsider rounds I had given to KG but they were still far from decisive either way. I just completely disagree with the word 'robbery' being passed about.
Agreed was defo not a robbery. I’ll take your word regarding Josh’s jabs. I’d have a watch of the replay but not sure I can bring myself to watch that again lol.
Warrington deserved to keep his titles. And I say he deserved to keep his titles because it was quite a close fight but Galahad simply didn't do enough to take them off him. Galahad looked the slicker boxer but he didn't let his hands go nearly enough and spent most of the fight hugging josh. When he did throw is was one or two then another hug. Josh was the aggressor and the one on the front foot throughout and whilst he didn't land a right lot he was at least letting his hands go and looking to fight. I think it was very close, a draw would have been a fair result but you cant take the titles off a man with that kind of performance he just didn't do enough work.
Kid Galahad won the fight but he didn't do enough to overcome the hometown decision. I think him and Ingle accepted this was the case and dealt with defeat amicably.
It's boxing. Not street fighting. As boring as it sounds it's about be hitting and not getting hit. Galahad did that. People say he spoiled, did ref deducted points? No he didn't so I'm escence he did nothing wrong so he won the fight. Why was Warrington so bad though? No the same fighter as was against selby and frampton
I had KG three rounds up going into the tenth but I don't think he threw a punch in the last three rounds but Warrington didn't land much either so I probably had the kid nicking it. No rematch I hope.
I think it's another example of the outsider doing a fair bit better than people thought he would, which naturally makes people think robbery when the pre-fight favourite wins a very close decision. Hard fight to score but overall I felt Warrington did enough.
