Lawton v Kirakosyan RbR Thread...

Surprised at him getting caught. Looks a good fighter but punching technique isn't that good.

 

He's not overly impressing me at the moment. He's not making as much of an impact as I'd expected on Jordan and he's getting a bit sloppy and frustrated at times.

He's got some good tools to work with though.

 

The guy looks like a giant Casamayor from some angles.

 

For all the hype was expecting a more complete fighter, has some good attributes but really looks nothing extra ordinary. I thought he was going to blast this guy out but he is looking very weary of his shots now

 

The right hooks as teddy keeps saying is giving porter second thoughts. Nice body work from Porter from the looks of it he has now real meat on the punches because they are landing at will without any signs of hurt from jordan

 

This guy is starting to look like he fancies the job as Jim Watt would say. Pretty worrying from Porter's camp POV.

 

Based on this you wouldn't exactly **** your pants if Kell Brook or Ryan Rhodes was to fight him, would you? He's got a lot of development to do.

It's starting to look like 'will' he stop him rather than when...

Collazo beat in round 8

 

Shocked to say the least didn't do my home work on Porter but i was expecting a lot more. He looks lost at times doesn't know what to do other than if the head isn't there work the body.

Jordans not a bad fighter but Porter is making him look a lot better, he can't keep distance for **** and seems to have porter on the inside

 

Bit disappointed with B-Hop just pointing out the obvious Porter has a long way to go before he is ready for a real challenger

 

Terrible point deduction, anyone with a jab could give Porter real problems seems too easy box also he doesn't look as if he closes the distance well. Quick but no real substance to his punches

 

Yeah disapointing.

Wide scores, pretty generous.

 

Porter won but as you say a few points wide. I remember seeing Angulo at this point in his career completely different animal. Whats the Telemundo card not sure wether my eyes are up for it but its worth a risk.


Kessler or Froch TFFP looks as if Mikkel is pissed after Ward could be a murdering

 

Angulo would kill him, not even a contest. Still think Angulo is destined for a title at some point.

I dunno, Froch/Kessler is a genuine 50/50 now IMO. I would have heavily favoured Kessler if Kessler looked a little more like his old self against Ward. I don't mean he had to beat Ward for me to favour him, but he didn't move like he once did and he wasn't as fast as he was. Compare to the Andrade fight a few years ago its night and day in terms of overall sharpness. That could allow Froch to get closer to him and grind him down perhaps.

I'll still tentatively favour Kessler. Really all 5 outcomes are possible.

 

Kessler/Froch is increasingly becoming a fight that i'm looking forward to more and more.

There is so many possible outcomes that are realistic.

 

No doubt about it at 15 fights I really thought Alfredo was going to be a murder he was something else at that age. Not sure what his promoter was thinking matching him against Cintron who (even though i'm a cintron hugger) I think he will give Williams his toughest test outside of Margo maybe, but his power and an open chin spells danger.


I'm not a huge fan of either Kessler or Froch but I'm looking forward to it either way. I think/hope Kessler comes back stronger but really he showed no sign of a plan B in the Ward fight which worried me.

Loved the part in the new Super 6 episode with Kessler in the corner "Can you see???" Kess "Yes and no" Doc "You want to quit" Kess "NEIN!!"
