The commentators are shite but they are probably right. The fight is much closer than the scorecards will have it. Bute is probably 2-3 pts ahead in reality after the KD. On the cards he's probably pitching a shut out
Good effort from Magee. No shame in that and a good stoppage IMO by the referee. No need to leave Magee to have his ribs smashed in any worse
Magee had no answer to those body shots. He showed great courage though. Time for bed:verysad:verysad
Disappointing ****en evening, Casey completely outclassed no complaints there. I thought that the Belghecham stoppage was way too early, this guy lasted the distance with Lee and Barker and there was a lot at stake, in a fight like that a guy should always be given a chance and it's not as if he was in any serious trouble, most of Fitzey's shots landed on the arms and gloves. Interesting to see how far Fitzey can go now... I thought the commentators on the Magee fight were a complete shower of idiots. Such biaised gob shites. I had Bute winning 87-83 going into the 10th round and he obviously would have took the 10th had it gone the distance so no major complaints but I thought the stoppage was a bit premature. ****en gutted the way the Casey fight went, I wonder were he goes from here, it's not good for the sport either, it almost makes RTE look justifiably smug for not paying to air it. Hopefully there's a way back for Willie but I'd be worried that he;ll have difficulty selling tickets for his next fight. A lot of people would have spent good money going to the fight and the causal fan is hardly going to be inclined to go to a show again any time soon..
Magee done well the hardest fight he could of had fighting for a World Title its a shame that Bute wasnt part of the Super 6 as there would of been a better chance for Magee to win a world title against some of the others. His last 2 defeats were against 2 great fighters so head up Magee you done yourself proud.
slap what u make of fitzy lee now that he stopped belgechem u goin t abuse him for askin for the lee fight like ye did b4
I recorded the Magee fight and then the ****in programme ended right at Magee getting dropped with a bodyshot in the 7th.:twisted: Sky+ bollocks. Magee gave a very good account of himself and Bute just looks so strong at the weight. Bute v Froch would be a great contest.
