Dennis Hogan vs. Gavin Prunty RBR

So yeah, it was a no-call on the knockdown in the eighth...not that it mattered.

 

See? These guys are not of like height. :bart

Hogan improves to 14-0-1 (6). This was his third outing of 2013, and he is penciled in for two more this winter including his first 10-rounder. Based on this performance he isn't world class but looks decent enough and that's a great activity schedule to get himself into some meaningful action. He looked to me perhaps the best light middleweight in either his native or adopted home nations - although neither domestic scene is exactly thriving at present in this division. To wit - I would favor him over Sam Ah-See, Daniel Dawson, and Lee Murtagh. The Commonwealth title held now by Liam Smith is perhaps a bridge too far, but is best case scenario for him at 28 years old. Maybe Smith will have moved on already with someone less daunting filling in the vacancy when Hogan is ready to contend for it.

Gavin "The Pimpernel" Prunty, who is also Irish-born and now residing in Oz, falls to 5-4 (3). This was only his second time back in the ring following a three-year layoff, dropping a decision to a 4-0 prospect last month.

 

In this case you could almost forgive his geographical confusion, all the Shamrocks and Irish flags in the audience.



...almost...


How does a grown ass man, in his late forties, worth tens of millions of dollars, think Australia is located in Europe? :!:

In terms of anatomical ignorance rather than geographical, it would be like thinking a woman's spleen is located inside her clitoris.

 

That was the main event. :verysad

I got into work late, or else I would have caught the co-feature.

A kid name Liam Hutchinson acquired the vacant QLD state light middleweight title by UD. Before that (it was a triple-header card topped by three 8-round attractions for vacant minor belts) a Frenchman named Faris Chevalier scored a slight upset in beating chinny local boy Shane Parry by TKO7 and claiming the QLD super middleweight title.
