the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

Thank my You Tube quota ol.

 

Watched a few domestic fights today, involving a few fighters who had impressed me with stand out performances/results.

Started with Nathaniel Collins, there was the YouTube marathon on Frank Warrens channel so did 2 of the 4 (do like that concept, building into fights -Collins has a European title fight this weekend).
A 1st round blowout vs Raza Hamza, within the first 20 seconds, basically the first meaningful punch. Reminded me of a Zolani Tete title defence and I believe it was a Eubank Sr defence too.

Next a more substantial fight vs Zak Miller, a very good opener to one of Frank Warren’s Magnificent 7s which tend to have good match ups. Miller impressed me early landing some sharp counters and was competitive despite being a bit overwhelmed at times with pressure and the sheer level of the fight. I was pleased and not too surprised to see that he has picked up a belt since then, I think there’s more competitive and very watchable fights to come involving him. This was a fight fought in good spirit, which is a contrast to the next one.

I’ll try and summarise quicker, boxrec led me to Tete vs Cunningham, the import of Tete onto UK soil was an interesting patch which ended on a sour note. A brutal knockout of Cunningham, the thud of his head off the floor was vicious. Then there was the Peds situation, I don’t remember the details but I’m sure it was one of the most alarming of recent times.
Rounded off with Liam Davies vs Cunningham, the young exciting fighter beat up Cunningham in the 1st for a statement victory. Cunningham has had a very respected career with good victories, unfortunate that it was concluded in this manner alongside the Tete controversy.
