Hall vs Spike O'Sullivan - Bad decision

I had it 116-113 OSullivan, could have gone either way though, wouldn't say robbery

 

What did both fighters weigh

 

i sparred spike a few times when he first turned pro and thought he would of got further in his career than what i think now, lucky to have gotten that decision imo but it was one of those fights i guess

 

Spike 160. Hall 158.

 

It proves nowt, but at least it would show us what rounds we agreed on and what rounds we didnt and then at least could focus on the rounds that we disagreed on and see if they were close or not, its more adult than just screams "my Dads bigger than your Dad" at each other! :good

P.S. everyone knows you are biased towards Manchester fighters! :good

 

boxinscene had it level.love how brit posters are cryin robbery.yeah an irish man fights a brit on british soil wit brit judges and he gets d hometown decision.as if!

 

Okay, here is my scorecard. I had it by one point to Spike. Let see how many Brits spookily had it identical to Paul Smith (not that they would be influence by his commentary of course, far too intelligent and superior for that ****, indeed!). As I said on my twitter page at the time if it had gone Mattys way I wouldnt have grumbled at all and certainly wouldnt have been crying "robbery".

Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : Spike O'Sullivan wins by WIDE UD. 117-111, 115-114, 117-111. Too wide against Hall but right result in my opinion. ‪#IrishBoxing‬

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R12 - Spike's boxing improved in the last, Hall tagging him with long lefts as well. I'll give that to Spike to win it by ONE round on mine

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : This is the footwork and movement that Spike SHOULD have been using all along. Has he left it too late?

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R11 - Hall has zero respect for O'Sullivan's power. Pushing him back, whipping d body shots in. Good round for Hall. All square with 1 left

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R10 - Nothing in this WBO Euro title fight. Spike clipping Hall with some nice shots but 2 secs later Hall crunches ribs. Even round. 97-96

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R9 - Hall is unstoppable and relentless. Pushing forward for every second of the fight. Hall shades that one for me. 87-86 O'Sullivan.

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : @frankiegavin1 get well soon mate. close fight, couldnt argue if it was being scored to either fighter.

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R8 - Finally Spike lets the hands go. Success with the right OTT and uppercut. Enjoying this fight. Spike round. 78-76 to O'Sullivan on mine

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : Very close scrap. Battle of wills. How you seeing this @frankiegavin1 ?? ‪#OSullivanVSHall‬

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R7 - Another close round. Hall's left hook the difference. Bemused at Spike tactics & lack of footwork. Tiring. 67-67 All even again.

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R6 - Half way point. Spike struggling with Hall's peekaboo style & not enough work rate. Very even round and I scored it a rare even. 58-57

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R5 - Better from Cork's Spike. Eye catching work early round enough to take that for Spike, Hall stronger late on. 48-47 O'S ‪#irishboxing‬

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R4 - Hall's aggression paying dividends now. Spike needs to stop pawing the jab and standing infront of Hall without firing. All square now!

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R3 - Hall grinds out a good round there. Whipping in hooks to the body and pushing inside. Hall round. 29-28 O'S ‪#Irishboxing‬

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : @PaulSmithJnr Spike is a Light Middleweight as well mate, not a Middleweight.

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R2 - Spike having a lot of success with the right paw. Picking Hall off. Toe-2-Toe action. Spike round. Close fight. 20-18 O'S ‪#irishboxing‬

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : R1 - Neither Spike or Hall have to go looking for each other. Spike a little sharper with his work though I think. 10-9 S ‪#irishboxing‬

14 Jul Boxing Ireland ‏@LoveIrishBoxing : I know both fighters pretty well and they are VERY alike in terms of personality. Two tough tough hombres! ‪#OSullivanVSHall

 

Think you made a mistake with your score card, u gave O'Sullivan 11points for round 8. Think that means you had it a draw.

 

are you the real roddy?

good spot btw

 

I think I gave it to Hall by 1 round. Every close fight seems to be labelled as a robbery these days ffs. Couldn't argue with the fight going either way, but the scorecards of 117-111 should be the main talking point.

As already mentioned, I think the fact that an Irish fighter was fighting a Brit, on British soil, with British judges and won a close fight seems to have rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way...

I would expect Spike to win a rematch, if it ever happened. I wasn't aware that he only had 2 and 1/2 weeks notice. So fair play to him

 

So I did! Well spotted. I guess that proves I aint biased after all.

Like I said, I wouldnt have grumbled if it went either way. Certainly wouldnt have been a robbery.

Rematch in Cork? Arnie?

 

Nah, he was on tv when i registered and just used him as my username.

 

A ****** card in Ireland would be pretty good alright. Maybe throw Ormond Appleby rematch on aswell.

 

appleby goin t lightweight

 

If spike is a light middle and hall is a light middle, they should have a rematch at light middle.
I know that vacant belt was on the line and thats why they fought at middle but its common sense they should both fight at their natural fighting weight if the rematch happens.
Also this has got nothing to do with spike being irish and hall being english as some bulbs on here are suggesting, the vast majority of people are getting fed up of poor scorecards and satursday night was another example of this.
Hall won the fight and deserves a rematch
