Go look on Jon Peggs twitter.. he retweeted loads of people saying they thought Macklin won. You seem to take the biased pro cheese Sky commentators word as gospel. Watch without the sound on. There's no way Cheeseman won the first 5 rounds straight, Eggington won one or two of those rounds. I had it 7-5 for Eggington and I could have easily even gave him 8 rounds, he seemed like the stronger man in there who did the better work and was the better fighter. It was the same with the Fitzgerald fight, for some reason the sky commentators are extremely biased to Cheeseman, always talking up what he does when it isn't even much and not mentioning his opponents good work. Probably cause he's from the Matchroom gym.
Welcome to the board. I don’t listen to matchroom commentators nor take their word as gospel. I’ve moaned a lot on this board over the years at their clear biased agenda. I can score a fight. Sam gave it a good go but ultimately he was beaten by a better boxer who landed the better, cleaner shots. He breezed through them first 5 rounds.
