don't know bout u but the smith quigley fight was disappointing and I think the degale bout was stopped a bit too early.
Quigley won that. Darke was making excuses before the decision saying he scored 3 rounds even and Watt....oh **** dont start me. Anyway. Quigley clear winner there, he must be gutted with that decision.
No early stoppages tonight, degale hit his man cleanly twice and was going to empty him many more times, thankfully the referee did his job. Gavin was excellent too, he is looking better everytime I see him. Bellew looks so sharp, quick and heavy handed - I would have money on him to take Cleverly - who I really believe is over rated.
I remember Rob saying he was the mando for the european title :huh He hasn't fought in ages he would have took both of them tonight i think
Chall: Mads LARSEN (DK) Vs Dimitri SARTISON (DE) Apparently thats the vacant title match and Magee is 5th/7th behind them
Quigley was certainly better than i thought he would be. better than the dodson fight anyway. For smith, apart from the last few rounds, it was the same old story. fighting well within himself just because he's knows he's better than the other guy. He talked before the fight of being more dedicated to the sport, dont really think we saw any evidence of that. He only really turned it on those last 2 rounds because it was obvious he needed them to get anything out of the fight, but even then he was too tired at that stage to land anything substantial. probably would've scored the fight a draw myself. couldnt believe that last scorecard though. really does need a rematch. Quigley needs to step down to middle. some cracking fights for him there.
got the fright of my life when i saw saville in the gavin fight. some reason i had down as some pale white guy, then realised i'd mixed him up with steve spartacus! quite the weight difference aswell atsch
could of went either way. smith really has declined as a fighter. his timing and balance is not what it was. lack of dedication is probably the cause. he doesnt seemed assed. what the ****s going on in his head
I think Quigley won by a few rounds, I also think the low blow was what ****ed him in the last two rounds, it was a **** fight.
i haven't read the whole thread, but i got to say anyone who thought quigley won the fight, needs their head testing. I did read someone saying smith needed to counter punch, well he was. i agree about darke and watt though, those two clowns need to be ****ed right off by sky. Smith win, no doubt. Just feel the people who saying quigley won, like watching a guy who gets hit, then draps himself all over his opponent and then pushes him to the ropes. at time there isn''t a lot a lot of fighters could have done with a spolier like quigley
Mate I think you let your heart rule your head when it comes to Smith, you always defend him despite countless bad performances, most people think Quigley won it was close no doubt but if Smith is as good as he thinks he was Quigley should have been a easy night.
Smith did win IMO, but it was an awful spectacle...Quigley must have a decent engine because he is carrying at least one weight class around with him more than he should be
Only just watched this and I've have to say that the highlight was that Rogan vs Sexton 2 WILL BE ON SKY!!!!!
