    Am not the hugest fan of women beating each other , to be honest.

    So who's Katie's next target? Is there anyone decent left at lightweight she hasn't beaten?

    Chantelle Cameron would give her a decent fight given an opportunity. Though her last opponent was a joke.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I totally understand someone not liking boxing generally... but why women specifically?


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


    I just think the better boxer would show over 3 minutes.

    It could or it might just be the fitter fighter that outlasts the other. Hard to say. lot of the female fighters aren't full time pro's too which makes it tricky to expect them to go 12x3 minute rounds.

    A second fight against Jessica McCaskill could be a possibility? I was really impressed with McCaskill in their first fight and she has won her five fights since, including beating Braekhus twice.

    That wasn’t even a punch!

    "War" is a strange name to pick as your Confirmation name all the same.

    Caught him right above the ear going by the replay.

    Parker put some some decent shots together after that knockdown.

    Has to be Amanda Serrano.

    10 x 3 or 8 x 3 then.....

    That's a bad fight for Taylor tbh.

    I think she's declining, and I'd be happy to see her rematch Jonas, beat her again for a decent pay cheque and retire.
    I very much doubt that'll happen though. Taylor will keep going till she loses at least 1.

    I thought it was 10-9 must scoring system. Winning a 10 rd fight by a point with no 10-8 rds is strange for me

    **** sake chisora looks like he'll cough up a lung on his stool next. Jaysus.

    10-10 rounds happen.

    It's 10 point must system.
    10-10 and even rounds are allowed to be scored.

    Very rare you see them in the US, they're a lot more common in Britain.
    There's a judge in Luxembourg who gives a few of them in most fights !.....even when it's obvious someone won a round.

    Andy Lee was on Second Captains the other day just saying he wouldn't be surprised or mind Chisora winning the first few rounds... seems like it's playing out that way a bit, Parker looking a bit better the longer it goes. Might have started gaining momentum a bit late though, needs to be winning most of the remaining rounds from here unless he gets a KO.

    Chisora is getting ko'd heavily later on

    Agreed. Would be very fearful for her in that fight but circumstances could well dictate that it's the next fight on table. I can see McCaskill calling Katie out also and she has a lot of credit in the bank after those Braekhus wins.

    I'd also be happy to see Katie rematch Jonas, beat her and retire undefeated. She doesn't have much to prove at this stage.

    Looking like it. Parker much fresher

    Looks like he might just collapse if the fight goes a few more rounds!

    <edit> turning in to a real slug fest here now. Chisora hanging in there though.

    Good scrap from both fighters there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭generalgerry


    Could you imagine going drinking with Chisora? You would end up in more bar saloon fights than John Wayne.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭generalgerry


    Is anybody scoring this ?

    Chisora is a hardy bastard.

    He reminds me of a cross between George Foreman and Danny Glover's Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon! "I'm too old for this ****!"

    Possibly why he doesn't drink anymore :D

    Maybe 5-3(77-74) Chisora.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭generalgerry

    I was wondering about that as I posted it. Probably for the best!

    Gave up when he joined Haye and found Jesus or something

    Like to see Parker go for this more. Lee telling him to jab and move. Feels like Chisora is there for the taking if Parker was to put his combinations together more.
