    Metcalf showing a surprisingly good jab so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,888 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    Tabiti is just a good athlete. Very average boxer.

    Very messy fight but Dorticos taking over

    Massive KO from the KO Doctor


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,888 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    KO of the year contender for sure. What a shot.

    That's a satisfying one. Tabiti is awful to watch.

    Dorticos has to be the most unCuban Cuban ever. He fights more like a Mexican.

    Byrd making a mess of this Breidis fight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 636 ✭✭✭Angliru


    Eh what


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,357 ✭✭✭megadodge


    That was a rather chaotic second round.

    Interesting to hear official opinions after that.

    Only caught the replay, how is that not a DQ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,357 ✭✭✭megadodge


    Whatever about the elbow, the fact that the Pole was knocked down heavily ages after the bell rang should have been taken into consideration. He should have got a timeout of some sort at the beginning of the next round.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,042 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Breidis describes his Elbow as a ‘dirty punch’ 😂😂
    He then admits to hearing the bell at the end of the second.
    I winder will there be repercussions to this win?

    Should be either Breidis dq or a no contest and refight. Byrd should be forced to retire along with his crappy wife. Not sure you can get a worse refereeing performance than that.

    The thing is I think Breidis would win a rematch but Glowacki’s team can surely argue that the elbow caused the concussion which led to the first knockdown.

    Agree that Byrd should retire. He bottled the elbow situation and Everyone heard the bell at the end of the second but him.

    He even wanted them to fight in after the 2nd Knockdown in the 2nd which was bizarre.

    I'm not making excuses for him, but hearing the bell on tv (where it is miked up to the tv system) and hearing it live in the ring when you have thousands of Latvians screaming their heads off is a completely different situation entirely. It has happened many, many times over the years when there is big crowd noise, just not for as long.

    Breidis himself said he heard it!

    This is very scrappy, not a great watch but Kid Galahad is doing well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,357 ✭✭✭megadodge


    Warrington struggling with Galahad's southpaw style. Can't impose himself like he normally does. This will be very close.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,735 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Brutal scrap imo. KG fighting the right fight to get the win though

    I think Galahad is winning but the rounds are close. Galahad is making Warrington fight his fight.


  • Registered Users Posts: 577 ✭✭✭mada82


    Ronald Macintosh needs to shut up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,331 ✭✭✭jeremyj1968


    It's like an Okolie fight, all arms and shoulders.

    Very hard to score it. Galahad should probably have been docked a point for holding at this stage.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,331 ✭✭✭jeremyj1968


    Anybody scoring it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner

    7-5 Galahad but not with any confidence. Not a great fight and a horrible fight to score.

    Given the nature of the fight and the way Galahad fought, and the nature of the press conference, I would worry about how they get Ingle and Galahad out of there if he gets the decision. :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭iebamm2580


    Id give it to warrington


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,342 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    The judges saw through Galahad's incessant clinching. That was a tough fight to watch at times, glad Warrington got the win although it could have gone either way.

    The two youtube live commentaries I'm watching are calling this a "robbery"!
