Finally!

Super stuff here.

Just catching this now.

Tennyson / Geraghty is a nice scrap.

Geraghty needs to use his right jab instead of hooking wildly with it. Every time Tennyson throws his own jab it lands and is made look worse by the fact that Geraghty tries to counter it with a wild right hook which always seems to miss.

eoinzy2000

2 good boxers. Both fast even at rnd 5 after taking significant shots. This is dead good

walshb

And that's why having some decent power can be so important. Geragthy has none. Tennyson has some. Unless your Pea Whitaker or a steel chinned Wayne McCullough, a lack of power or even sting will see you really struggle.

megadodge

Beautiful knockdown by Tennyson.

Good fight.

duffman13

Decent fights, enjoying this. Some nice shots from Tennyson

eoinzy2000

Aye. I reckon a good stoppage. Geraghty mightve got badly hurt otherwise. He shouldve feckin tried to back off n recover more from knock down instead of stating in that brawl. Spose tennyson wouldntve let him though

duffman13

The head on this little Argentinian, looks like a little Street fighter. 40 years old, Paddy should knock him out in two

eoinzy2000

I cant see Barnes goin too far in his pro career. This is nothin special against a clearly lower class opponent. I hope im wrong. I am usually full of sh1t so its highly likely

walshb

All the way from Argentina! He's atrocious.

I see what you mean... but let's wait and see.

duffman13

Paddy needs a big round here, not showing much to say he should be fast tracked. Doesn't look to have the power to hurt him. Hopefully he opens up a bit

Barnes is and always will be feather fisted. That's just what it is. His talent is his work rate and good engine.

snowflaker

Paddy unlikely to challenge at the top level. A European title prob

No issues with that but if he struggles to hurt guys at this level, a big puncher will walk through him to land. As you said though, it's definitely a wait and see job with him.

eoinzy2000

He being caught too easily. Hopefully he gets better, real fast. Commentators pure trying to make that argentinian sound like the best journeyman fightr ever

walshb

Only his second fight, but there's an awful lot more to the pro game than pitter patter punching. And at the upper level that's where it's found out.

If I was making a prediction I'd say British/Euro level at best.

snowflaker

When you're explaining your losing. Too many excuses

Box nation trying to pump him up. Really hard to tell, I think a few 8 rounders over the next 4-6 months will sort out where he will fit in terms of level.

Saying in his interview his corner told him to take it easy and work the ring. We'll see more from him next time apparently

Morrison J

Very much a work in progress. Wouldn't rule out Paddy by any means. He'll be a tough out for his opponent at any level.

Not at all. I understand what you mean though. Its so obvious the difference between amateur and pro. Framptons probably right though as well. The argentinian didnt want to win and was somewhat negative. If there was someone against him that wanted to win, it would be a better spectacle.

A better boxer would make short work of it

Until Barnes steps up and gets cracked hard on the chin we can't know how he'll fare. In the pros there's dozens of nobodies out there who can take a punch and punch a little. So many permutations. If Paddy's chin proves to be solid he has a good chance of holding his own against many.

She sure does!😜

This has the production values of a club show

eoinzy2000

Look at the attendance. It has the attendance of a club show also

snowflaker

I'm done

duffman13

Conlan looks a little leggy in the round, needs to work the body and keep his hands up! Getting tagged regularly

walshb

Just not seeing anything from Jamie tonight.

duffman13

Jamie needs to knock this lad down, I'd say it's level on the card now but that knockdown is gonna hurt the scoring for Jamie. He's been poor enough to be fair

walshb

Another example where a lack of power can hurt you. This lad just has no fear of Jamie's punches. Jamie's not landing heavy enough leather to discourage this lad.

duffman13

Box nation fairly sure Conlan took it, wouldnt be surprised if Cardoza takes this

Morrison J

114-113 Conlan for me. He's tremendous value every fight. Proper warrior.

highgiant1985

Split decision: 115-112 Cardoza, 114-113 Conlan,115-113 to the winner... @JamieConlan11!
