Have yet to see Rodriguez but he must be **** hot if he's 1/5 to beat Butler away from home.

Looking good.

walshb

Rodriguez lighting quick..yet very nonchalant.

Butler looks uninterested.

walshb

This won’t last.

Sprinter Sacre

Nice to see someone who misses weight get a dose of medicine.

Morrison J

This Rodriguez is class. So unrushed in his work. Can see why Burnett didn't want him.

walshb

Over inundate? Good one, Froch...😒

walshb

This guy is good, but being made look it as well. Butler looks asleep in there.

Sprinter Sacre

Rodriguez is barely breathing, completely at ease. He does look very good though although Butler is w*nk.

You wouldn't think Butler was a man that was 3.5lbs overweight yesterday.

Was thinking the same myself.

Had to laugh at the weighin announcer and his “small bit overweight.”

3 and a half fooking lbs...

Sprinter Sacre

Butler has literally shat his pants.

walshb

Pointless exercise this..

megadodge

I'm not really seeing it lads.

Rodriguez is good, but 'class' I don't think so.

His speed is decent but that's it.

I'd fancy Burnett if they were to meet. Much physically stronger than Butler and more of an all-round game than Rodriguez.

walshb

I am not hugely sold either...

Maybe he has more?

Burnett surely present more than Butler?

Sprinter Sacre

He looks like he has a lot left in the locker. A fight with Burnett is very interesting although I think he might be fed to Inoue after he beats McDonnell in a few weeks.

Morrison J

Bantam is being lined up for the next Super Series. Semi-finals of Burnett, Inoue, Rodriguez and Tete would be amazing.

walshb

The celebrities are in the house...

An inbetweener and a tiny temper?

walshb

FFS, it’s 2018...

Do these foreigners not learn the language of the world in school?

Don't forget Jan Vertonghen who was apparently badly injured + ruled out for the rest of the seaon a few hours ago in the Spurs WBA game

That's ridiculous. I've yet to see an English speaking boxer who can speak another language.

Only his speed is decent? Thought his jab and judgement of distance looked proper elite level. Head movement superb too.

Butler is no mug but he made him look like one. One of the better performances from a foreign fighter on a UK show in recent memory I think.

Cox v Ryder. Who do you's all fancy? I'll probably be in the minority and fancy Cox.

I can safely say, I don't fancy Cox!:pac:

Morrison J

Don't mind Ryder and think he was weight drained for a lot of his career. Looked decent since moving up to super middle so I'm siding with him. Honestly still have no idea how good Jamie Cox is though. Complete enigma of a fighter.

I was replying to a poster commenting on his speed and the commentary team also. I didn't think he was particularly fast.

I wasn't isolating it as his only good attribute.

megadodge

I'm really looking forward to the Cox / Ryder fight. I've been going back and forth all day on who I think will win. I'm hesitatingly going to go with Cox, even though I'd prefer Ryder to win. There's something about him I like as a person.

No worries. I worded it kinda badly.

brendanwalsh

What time is first gloves thrown lads??

Richard Hillman

There's a case of a boxer that wanted to stop but didn't want to look like did

megadodge

He was badly hurt. His legs were really wobbly. It could be one of those 'get up barely after the count and complain', but I think he misjudged it cos he was still dazed.
