    I'll give the 6th to Brunker. He's adapted well after the 3rd round.

    That's what makes boxing interesting for me, different styles.

    Warrington carries no power but is technically very good so he has developed a style that is very effective and makes the best of his attributes.

    Warrington won on the scorecards already and Brunker isn't about to get a KO so formality rounds from now on.

    On the other hand Brunker and Tubeiron were so bad that you basically so a feather hand fight hit people who were human punch bags. The different styles argument works when they are similar levels but Brunker is just so ****ing useless.

    This is so impressive, Warringtons technique is very good, does all the simple things very well, really well schooled.

    Maybe, this was seen as a close fight by quite a few people, and yes Brunker is made for Warrington, he was made for Selby too.

    Warrington can only beat what is put in front of him and he is doing it in style.

    I was wrong about Warrington. I thought he was a lot worse than this

    The "can only beat what's in front of him" point says it all though, he might as well have a heavy bag in front of him. Brunker looks clueless, as he does every time he faces anyone who doesn't just stand and trade with him.

    There is a lot to like about Warrington...but on the other hand for a guyg to throw the out put he does still...have such full fights is a mystery...doesn't help that Sky are trying to act like Brunker is some world class fighter when he's little more than a fighter with a hugely padded record (and a few lucky wins on there too)

    :lol: Sky make everybody sound world class

    Warrington does not carry power, 4 stoppages in 21 fights before tonight, he has won every round, not much more he can do really.

    There will be far far tougher tests for Warrington and we will find out just how good or average he is but for the performance tonight I can't find fault.

    Warrington is really weird. He lands 100 power punches per round and doesn't even come close to a knockdown. He has minimumweight kind of power in his hands.

    :lol: I know, it is a real shame, if Warrington carried half decent power I think he would be a handful for anybody.
