Taxton Lost UD = he floored the guy in the first round and nearly knocked him out. got the impression the other guy was a superbum with a crap record but after the 4th round the guy got a boost in confidence and turned into a superman. Wat a fight that was. I cant explain how superbum got all this heart and skill from at the end of the fight. Billy joe saunders win TKO2 = stopped the other guy. showed good combinations, but reminded be of aurtto gatti. Frankie gavin = very feather fisted but very skill full. many many bodyshot landed clean. he got caught a few times in the first round but it didnt effect him. ref stops the fight in the 4th round becuase frankie was punishing him badly. James Degale is about to fight =...... Round 1 = Degale come in nice n slow, feeling out with a jab. Lands a nice 1-2 combination showing his power. looks very confident, feeling the jab out again and throwing some good body shots. (degale taking it a bit too easy) Ronud 2 = degale starts of with the jab again, droping nice light combinations (like JC),. a lot of pitty pat punches but is catching opponent. nice uppercut and t'ing of with the left at the end of the round. Round 3 = degale starts quicker, looks like he is opening up a bit more with a good combination, throwing too many flicking and soft punches. get warned for throwing back hander by ref, lands a good comnination but no power, carrys on with jabbing for the rest of the round. (unimpressive) Round 4 = Is opening up more, throwing 1-2 more often, opponent finally fires something back and misses. crowd booing at degales walk in the park performance. tapping away at the jab and 1-2z. more booing, wen degales hand is raised. DEGALE WINS DECISION
Thaxton needs to retire. French guy deserved to win, was convinced he was getting robbed when they were reading out the scores.
yea i was saying the french dude won my respect but there gona rob him. good to see the judges didnt do that to him. taxton should call it a day, I feel he wont reach his goal of getting a title shot. he just not got the style
Scored Thaxton a draw.. if it was going to be a victory for either it would have been the french guy. Tyson Furys fight was a waste of time.. like hitting a heavy bag.
Thaxton and his corner were terrible tonight! I can't believe a pro fighter of his years dropped his gloves and hung his chin out like that, I had him behind by two rounds. It's time to hang em' up now a world class operater would have put him to sleep tonight.
degale look so much bigger than the guy hes facing. not much too talk about so far. some nice speed and combos to the body
