Tony Doherty - finally back in the ring!!

Mcintyre doherty really should be made

 

Intereesting to hear what Doherty had to say in respect of Kell Brook. Unless Tony makes some big noise, I can't see that one coming off. Brook-Jennings will be scheduled again, of which I expect Brook to come through. I would then expect Kell to go onto the next level.

However, I'd be all for a Doherty-Brook showdown, but Toney needs to get some bouts under his belt firstly. No matter how much training & sparring he's done preparation, there will be some ring-rust to shed!

 

Yeah would love to see a rematch

 

He was stopped tonight in the 3rd round by journeyman Geraint Harvey, a devastating blow to his career. Will he return or will he retire, i've got a feeling it will be the latter.

 

Although weighing 11st he didn't look too bad for the first 2 rounds considering he'd been out for 20 months.

Then got caught in the 3rd and went down, legs looked unsteady when he got back up. Got put down again but Harvey appeared to hit him 2-3 times when he was down. To be fair he got back up but Harvey was landing cleanly and i thought referee Wynford Jones should have waved it off a few punches before he actually did. Saying that the ref could have disqualified Harvey for hitting Tony while down, or at least given Doherty more time to recover.

Apparenty Doherty had balooned to nearly 16st since his last fight, so has had to lose 5st, that can't have done him too much good!

 

To be fair to Harvey he was landing a lot of clean shots. It wasnt a case of him landing a ''lucky'' shot to finish it. I'm suprised his record is as bad as it is, as he's clearly a good boxer. That's two TKO's in three fights for him now, so there a bit of power in his punches.

He did hit Tony twice when he was down, but it happens and you would never see a ref giving a DQ for what happened last night. He was warned which was the right decision, but Tony's night was already over after the knock down.

Tony must be gutted, but after reading a few interviews he did pre-fiight, he knew this was going to be a tougher fight than Harvey's record suggested. I wonder where he goes from here though, he must be devastated.

 

Beaten by Harvey WTF,:? not going anywhere after that

 

I once saw Harvey cut up Kell Brook (on the way to a loss). He is gutsy and experienced, better than his record testifies.
"The Doc" can come again.

 

Damn... You mean one of the most talented fighters i've ever seen was beaten by a decent journeyman. Wonder who could be to blame.

 

Why dont you tell us?:? Got me interested now. Who trains him now, I knew he was Calzaghes for a while but dont know where he is now??

 

Not usre whose training him but that looks likely to been the blamee

 

Oh right Jeff, thought you knew who it was, a bit of inside knowledge if you will:yep

 

Doherty is still with Enzo Calzaghe.
