Commonwealth Games Boxing Starts 5th October

Didnt see him mate, what weights he? Looking forward to see how Weaver progresses, the kids on a tearaway this year. Gutted Khalid Yafai got hurt last month he woulda beat Selby and Khan

 

weaver lives 20 mins up the road from me, he's sparred my mate before aswell. Yafai was a good chance for gold, shame

 

Maybe a future claim to fame there buddy! Think he's got a shot, so's Stalker and Smith. Ogogo? Tricky division I think

 

aint seen ogogo yet, what he like. its touch or go if i finish work in time to watch them

 

Ogogo is in against one of the most impressive fighters I have seen in it so far. Saying that though Ogogo was no slouch himself.

 

Whos that man, Hooper? If so yea that'l be a beauty. Anthony looked good LP but Hooper did look good as LHL said and theres the Indian lad too

 

few good fights to look foward to

 

Aye it is Hooper, looked quality in his first fight. Interesting clash of styles with Hooper being very slick and fighting in the pocket. While Ogogo has that tight guard and just explodes out of it with his combinations. (I'm basing this on one fight each so this could be very wrong tomorrow )

 

Lol with the miniscule coverage the ams get its as good as most have to go on mate!! Can see Anthony winning by the odd point blocking the flurries and pot shotting more than in binhces like his 1st. Seems to be a decent tactic with the economical scoring, tidy combos get you 1 point in these big meets

 

These am's have really confused me, jabs used to be scored like crazy when i watched it a while back but I haven't seen much counted in these games. Body shots as always are never scored though i seen one today get scored even though the one he landed before was just as good. Then like you say no matter how many you throw in a combo only one will get counted. It's great to watch but the scoring the top corner really puts me off once i see a clear one and look up and see nothing you can't help but get annoyed.

 

Fight of the games so far, was screaming at the tv, talk about nip and tuck!! i have watched conlon a few times now the kid is gona b top class hes only 17 r 18 his bro is a good pro 4-0 (2ko's).

 

still aint seen this - not impressed

 

Thats a good account of it really. It does seem like in the smaller events you get everything scored but in the worlds/euros/commonwealths they're stingy on the scoring. What you say with the body shots is dead on and the English lads/Rob McCracken have cottoned onto that I reckon. Like we said with Agogo and today with Stubbs they're keeping their guards nice and, Selby threw loads to the body to get him to drop it- zero points scored. Although scorings been like it for years its still frustrating

 

Anyone know where to get a timetable for when fights are on don't want to miss McCarthy or Ogogo's fights

 

Scotland's Aston Brown won his fight and England's Callum Smith outpointed Australian Hammond 4-2 in a very competitive fight - good win for Smith.
