Clinton Woods

Great fight in what was a class night/early morning of boxing, also was my first experience of boxing on Setanta, I was pleasantly surprised, kept the advert breaks to a minimum unlike ITV

 

Bless Clinton he's such a trier- and a pretty decent fighter. I really like him and although I don't consider him anywhere near the best LH in the world the guy has worked hard to get where he is now and deserves any success he gets..... Anyone who watched him soundly beaten by David Starie wouldn't dream of him been a 'genuine' world champ in his mid thirties.

 

Woods v Erdei? Gives both men a shot at unification, maybe a little more money and the winner could be set for a fight with someone like Dawson.

 

A great fight if you hadnt seen the first one I would argue. But all the same stuff happened in the first fight, it was almost like watching a re-run. Gonzales didnt have the power to trouble Woods, he landed clean blow after clean blow on Woods head & body & it didnt faze the champ, just like the last time. Thats what I found unexiting, Woods knew he just had to go through the motions to get the job done.

As for not watching, Im a sucker for punishment Im sad to say!

See, the trouble with me is I cant get that image of Woods shitting a brick when Calzaghe was on the phone offering Clinton a fight live on the BBC, Clinton wouldnt even speak to him!!! What was that all about? Thats why Im not cutting Woods any slack for facing of against the Gonzales of this world time & time again when the chance was there for a massive fight with Calzaghe & he bottled it in spectacular fashion.

 

The Setanta broadcast team were amusing discussing possible opponents. How the belt holders were not attractive for Woods.

They know Dawson would do him in, but would dare say it.

Old rubbish like Tarver only please.

 

i wouldnt be so quick in writing woods off against dawson.i remember rico hoye coming to england as the future of the light heavy division and look what happened to him
