    James Toney vs Mike McCallum 2.

    toney's fights are just a nightmare to score. You either score for toneys usually harder, more accuate shots or his opponents activity and work rate. I scored this one 115-112 in favour of toney. Couldnt be bothered scoring anymore of his fights anytime soon:D

    nice, I had it 115-113

    or was that the first one? **** I can't remember but what I know is the one in which McCallum used all the right tactics, using lateral/circular movement and the jab to try and play to Toney's weaknesses, I had it to Toney to by two points. That's testament to how good Toney was, that an ATG like McCallum actually came with the right gameplan, implemented it, and he still did enough to win.

    Conteh-Saad I?

    If you've already seen it, see if you can get Conteh-Schmidtke or Conteh-Finnegan I.

    If you've already seen all of them, Betulio Gonzalez-Guty Espedas or Tae-Shik Kim-Peter Mathebula are both on the tube :good

    Seen quite a bit of John Conteh, but certainly not recently, so I'll give them a watch :thumbsup

    Watched Gonzalez - Espadas last week, but I'll watch Tae Shik Kim - Peter Mathebula later, cheers Flea :good

    Tavoris Cloud SD Gabriel Campillo

    Great fight, Campillo shows great skills, I especially loved the straight left/right uppercut combo he delivered three times in the early rounds and I loved that when he gained in confidence he came inside and start fighting two-handed up close stepping off onto that horrible little angle to leave Cloud floundering.

    He boxed beautifully in round 8 which is when he pulled level on the cards for me after that disastrous first round when he got dropped twice. Be worthwhile looking to see what adjustments he made to slip that right hand from the second onwards? Cloud did help him though, inexplicably going backwards in round two for no apparent reason, I watched it a second time just to make sure he didn't get hurt and I can't find a solitary reason for it, why?

    I do think, on first viewing though, that it was not a robbery...I have it a draw.

    CLOUD:1,4,6,11,12
    CAMPILLO: 2,3,5,7,8,9,10

    113-113

    The rounds I was a little uncomfortable with were 4,5 and 11, two of which are Cloud rounds, so I'd be happier with a Campillo card based upon these swings, but I could see a Cloud card if he had round 5 scored to him.

    Good, absorbing contest and I hope they do it again.
