    Donoghue to win, the others have Russians, so tough. Joyce maybe but I wouldn't write off any of them. The Nevin fight should be interesting, clash of styles and two top class performers.

    Ya I'd fancy wilie to win too

    McGivern will have it very tough

    And Joyce and Nevin are 50-50 fights imo

    Even the Russians looked suprised by that. That Russian will have nothing left for the final I taught he was going to collapse when the ref raised his hand

    I dunno, I didn't give the Russian a round. Thought the Russian cornerman got a nod at the end before the result was announced, and he grimaced!
    I hate crying "Robbery" but what the heck "ROBBERY"!

    Ya it looked like a robbery the Russian corner looked disappointed. There fighter looked completey exhausted and didn't think he won at all. In the first round and a half I saw I didn't think the Russian won any of it

    Come on lads Russian was a bit quicker to the punch first two rounds very close rounds though. Johnny won the 3rd but was very close fight could of gone either way. Joyce is small for r the weight so he will grow into it.

    It's all a wee bit depressing, hopefully things will balance out, but so tough on Joyce. I think he would have beaten the Scot too.
    Anyone interested in whether "The Smoking Man" or myself have lost it, go to 1:50 0n the stream; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiQRORt1W_c

    Thing is in the first two rounds joyce controlled center ring and look in control and there was barely any scoring punches thrown by thr Russian if any. And he looked like he was going to collapse when the ref raised his hand

    He controlled centre ring but didn't land anything himself thought the Russian caught him with more tbh just about mind you not much in it defo no robbery could of easily went either way. I'll watch it back . As I said Joyce is fairly small for the weight and only recently moved up so he has plenty of time to grow into it. The Scottish lad beat Joyce I think a few months back and he is a lot taller than Joyce aswel.
