    Richard Williams vs Shannan Taylor

    Taylor started off well, pretty much outboxing Williams for the first 3 rounds without doing anything effective. Williams always looked comfortable though that his power was going to come through and it certainly did in the 4th as he caught Shannan with a great punch early in the round and continued to up the pressure until the referee jumped in.

    Bobby Vanzie vs Steve Murray

    Bobby looked as if he was out of it when Steve caught him with a peach of a punch in the 1st round, but he somehow got up and even though he got floored again (after the 2nd knockdown he was staring out into the crowd and looked like he didn't know what was going on) survived the round. After this, he began to outbox Steve for the rest of the fight, throwing fast combinations that bloodied his opponents face and spoiling up close to avoid getting caught again by his hard hitting opponent. In the 7th Steve looked very fatigued and Bobby caught him with some great shots to floor him. He got up, but another flurry from Bobby caused the ref to jump in and stop the fight.

    Also watched Laing vs Lueshing the other day (Gaz I'm still going to do that report for the Welter thread!).

    vanzie was gazing into the crowd because his brother got punched a few times by harlow hooligans and bobby was more worried about his brother than murray, small hall classic

    i watched guzman funeka 2, guzman makes me sick, he knew the only way he could beat funeka was if he weighed in as a welter and still it was close ish, cant wait to see guzman fight someone in his own weight class

    Cheers for letting me know, the commentators thought it might have been his girlfriend being hysterical or something.

    yeah i remember this but in the next weeks edition of boxing news i read his brother was attacked and hit a few times during the first round, did you see when vanzie celebrated after stopping murray about 30 fans were about to storm the ring, it really did nearly kick off that night, harlow has a tough rep

    Taylor vs Lacy (don't ask why)

    You know you're shot when Jermaine Taylor carries you. Lol The funniest moment in this fight was Lacy's reaction at the moment the score cards were read - the "fraud" actually thought he won this whitewash on points, LMAO. This further illustrates my insistent point that Jeff Lacy had no fuc*** clue of boxing x's and o's and was strictly a BUM - HAM'N'EGGS - OPPONENT - TOMATO CAN - WALKOVER.

    Bye bye Lacy - Glad you retired, just would've been Friday Night Fights poster child...you Olympic "anti science" mirage!

    It maybe harsh, but i'm convinced Pascal is heading the same way.

    Your card is more or less the same as the British newspapers who had it a draw or one point either way. The commentary team were in accordance as well with Rocky Gattallari and Peter Wilson at ringside having it even after 14.
    My dad thought he'd done enough to get it but is not bitter. He is bitter about Ray Mitchell's card though which was a disgrace. Peter Wilson of the Daily Mirror called it one of the worst judgements since the days of Bloody Judge Jeffries.
    I would love to have seen a breakdown of referee Vic Patrick 70-63, doesn't seem to make sense to me and I've even wondered if it should of been 70-68.
    Fighting an Australian national hero in Australia with 3 Australian judges, bizarre. The odds were stacked against my dad from the start. Someone should have been looking out for dad and I blame the British Board of control as well who should of insisted on at least one British judge. Peter Wilson was talked about as a judge and was qualified to do the job. He'd judged at the Jofre-Caldwell fight in Brazil. If he'd got the nod instead of Mitchell history would of been rewritten.
    Sorry about the rant but it something close to my heart. Dad came that close to being world champ in that golden age of bantams and as he's said himself "It makes all the difference to be introduced as the former World champ on how you are remembered".
    Here's the final round and decision, it chokes me up to watch it sometimes specially when I look at him now, that little old man.
    By the way nothing against you Australians out there. Dad was treated wonderfully and has been invited back since and met up with his old mate Lionel.
