Jason Booth-Michael Hunter rbr thread...

[ishy]

Starts on SS1 in ~15mins

Jeffries, Groves and Price all on the undercard as well as the Dickinson brothers and Gary Sykes in a keep busy fight.

[TFFP]

Let's go :bbb

[kosaros]

Looking forward to all of the fights that will be screened, apart from J-L Dickinson who is terrible :verysad

So sad I had no money to go to this....Booth vs Hunter, Groves, T Dickinson, Price and Jeffries all on the bill = good card.

[Pottypete]

Sounds like the Price and Jeffries fights are on live tonight as well as Booth-Hunter.

[Flea Man]

AS last week, am out the shed havin a smoke, thanks to everyone who keeps me informed. Watchin Froch-Pascal at the mo, can't see Dirrell coping with this.

[gasman]

Good card tonight. This will be my first glimpse of Price fighting live. Hope Jeffries opponent is a tough one, he could do with getting a few rounds under his belt.

Who do you fancy for the main event?

[kosaros]

Good card tonight. This will be my glimpse of Price fighting live. Hope Jeffries opponent is a tough one, he could do with getting a few rounds under his belt.

Who do you fancy for the main event?

Booth should win, has looked very impressive in his fights at this weight so far.

[TFFP]

Jeffries opponent has done rounds with some decent fighters. None as aggressive as Jeffries though.

[ishy]

Sounds like the Price and Jeffries fights are on live tonight as well as Booth-Hunter.

Yep, they've just said 3 live fights.

Oh fuck!! Dave darts is back :twisted::patsch

[ishy]

Price fight up first. Facing a Euro with only one fight (a draw).

[TFFP]

Yep, they've just said 3 live fights.

Oh fuck!! Dave darts is back :twisted::patsch
He's one of those jack of all trades. Like Rosenthal, but not as much of a smug cunt.

[gasman]

3 live fights on sky, they have pulled up their socks, hope this continues.

[TFFP]

He does a great Wlad impersonation. Particularly with those shorts.

[ishy]

Doesn't look very 'fluid'.

[BigEars]

Going out tonight so will miss the fights, but have a massive £3 on Booth by stoppage at 4/1. Lets hope the rumours of him being ill are exactly that...rumours.

[TFFP]

I'd like to see Price jab more often. He's got the physical tools and the technique to do it, but he should throw it more. Completely dominate with it and soften guys up rather than just land the odd one.

[Flea Man]

Price has the kinda chin where you never know wots gonna happen. Hasn't fought in a while either, wonder if he gets that big right hand out :good

[dan-b]

Price looks in very good condition.

[Kid Lucky]

Price started slowly but won first round. Needs to throw a few combinations to open the fella up.

Dave darts hasn't thrown the imaginary dart yet but it's only a matter of time

[TFFP]

Watt is spot on. He's pushing the jab and not really putting force into it. If he did he'd stop this guy from doing anything.

[DAVEMAKER]

[quote=TFFP;5176551]Watt is spot on. quote]
theres a first

[TFFP]

Why the hell was he pulled out?

[ishy]

The German's quit :huh

[safc1990]

What the fuck? Has the German guy just quit?

[AffectedToaster]

surprising retirement

[gasman]

bollocks to that, it was shaping up into a nice little scrap

[sitiyzal]

These cold rumours about Booth are irritating.

[TFFP]

Not too impressive from Price. Did a few nice things but lacked authority in the jab and couldn't stop his man walking him down. Basically didn't use his advantages very well. Ring rust probably contributed to his tentative display.

[Flea Man]

Take it we learned little about Price? Did he get tagged at all?

[Kid Lucky]

Not too impressive from Price. Did a few nice things but lacked authority in the jab and couldn't stop his man walking him down. Basically didn't use his advantages very well. Ring rust probably contributed to his tentative display.

Agreed - not impressed with Price, benefit of the doubt though as not fought for so long and only 2nd pro fight. Needs to get back into the ring as soon as he can.

[TFFP]

^^Not really much to be learnt. Not too impressive and not bad either.

Hunter looked WAY bigger at the weigh in.

[ishy]

Booth fought Froch as an am?! :shock:

[Pottypete]

Agreed - not impressed with Price, benefit of the doubt though as not fought for so long and only 2nd pro fight. Needs to get back into the ring as soon as he can.
I think Maloney just said he's fighting again next week.:good

[Kid Lucky]

Hunter v Booth - I think this could turn ugly ;)

[safc1990]

Nice of the Jeffries fans to get the 'If I was young and I had no sense' song going. :cool:

Michael 'The Hunter' Hunter- original nickname, surprised that some of the crowd were booing him, given he's a North East lad.

[gasman]

right, pick your winner

[safc1990]

Booth

[Pottypete]

Hunter UD.

[DAVEMAKER]

prices footspeed is terrible, and doesnt jab often enough....

[DAVEMAKER]

hunter, early

[safc1990]

Nice of the Jeffries fans to get the 'If I was young and I had no sense' song going. :cool:

Michael 'The Hunter' Hunter- original nickname, surprised that some of the crowd were booing him, given he's a North East lad.

Although then again, from what I've heard and read from people who live on Hartlepool on the football forums, he's a knob.

[gasman]

hunter looks the bigger guy, this will be an interesting one...I'll go with hunter too...

[Chinny]

Hunter v Booth - I think this could turn ugly ;)

:goodhehe

[Flea Man]

Would Fury do Price? Booth for me, points. Then onto Munroe or maybe Dunne.

[nufc16]

jesus, size difference is massive.

[sitiyzal]

jesus, size difference is massive.

Hunter's in for a bit of a tickling!

[TFFP]

Hunter trying hard but missing a lot.

[safc1990]

Booth's round for me

[ishy]

Cleaner work was from Booth in the 1st. Throwing a nice jab (even though he's the smaller guy)

10-9 Booth

[gasman]

hunter finished the round strong, but they both landed some good shots, very open...

[Tuavale]

Thought Hunter got it.

[nufc16]

thought hunters legs stiffened a bit at one point during the first round when booth hit him with a good shot.

[Flea Man]

cAn someone give me a comparison to let me know how much bigger Hunter is?

[nufc16]

basically like a featherweight against a bantamweight.

[sitiyzal]

There goes the stream...

[ishy]

Hunter is open to the short left hook on the inside.

[TFFP]

Watch their feet. Booth is a far better mover, its making all the difference.

[ishy]

Watch their feet. Booth is a far better mover, its making all the difference.

In a Lennox Lewis voice: Definitely :deal

[safc1990]

2 rounds in the bag for Booth.

[TFFP]

Booth is too smooth.

Counterpunching well, outjabbing the bigger man, landing the clean punches, tieing it up on the inside and showing smartness.

Maybe Hunter's aggression is pleasing the judges and the home crowd but I don't think he's landed anything of note.

[gasman]

hunter doesnt move his head, and is open to hooks either side

[ishy]

Booth 2-0. He's looking the shizzle.

[nufc16]

still think hunters size advantage could be a factor the longer the fight goes on if booth has been struggling with a cold in the build up. needs to find some rhythm though.

[TFFP]

still think hunters size advantage could be a factor the longer the fight goes on if booth has been struggling with a cold in the build up. needs to find some rhythm though.
Could be, but Hunter is wasting a lot of energy here and getting little reward. That is demoralizing mentally and physically.

[safc1990]

Booth 3 up, he simply can not miss.

[ishy]

Damn! Booth is Too Smooth and he's not even a natural SBW!

3-0 Booth

[DAVEMAKER]

boy was i wrong, tbf to myself ive never seen either and was going purely from there records:D

[TFFP]

I'm very happy with my bet on Booth by TKO at this stage. Can't miss with the left-hook, Hunter looking ragged at the end of that round.

[nufc16]

looking like hunter doesnt have it at all anymore. can see his corner pulling him out if he has too many rounds like that.

[djoc175]

I'm very happy with my bet on Booth by TKO at this stage.
Likewise

[ishy]

I can see the corner stopping this soon.

[safc1990]

Can see Hunter's corner pulling him out now. Booth 4 up.

[TFFP]

First class from Booth. His renaissance has been spectacular.

:happy:happy

[ishy]

I'm tempted to stick on a Booth avatar after this. He looks even better than he did against Moran IMO.

[safc1990]

Did Hunter's corner basically say that they're giving him one more round?

[TFFP]

Did Hunter's corner basically say that they're giving him one more round?
Pretty much and this round has been a shocker so I think its all over.

[Flea Man]

Booth is damn good. Lookin 4ward to watchin it in a bit. Would Booth beat Rendall? Assuming Hunter gets stopped.

[ishy]

Good move by the corner, they've stopped it.

[TFFP]

The size difference between him and Munroe would be ridiculous.

You have to give him a solid chance, still.

[AffectedToaster]

booth to win by KO/tko at 4/1,:happy:happy:happy

[djoc175]

:bananamaniac:bananamaniac:bananamaniac

:dance

[Beeston Brawler]

That was excellent from Booth.

Punch perfect, can't fault that at all.

Trust muggings to only stick £5 on by KO :patsch

[TFFP]

booth to win by KO/tko at 4/1,:happy:happy:happy
I got 5/1 :happy:happy:happy:happy:happy

Beauty, £100 in the bank.

[dan-b]

Brilliant performance.

[safc1990]

Is it just me or did it look like Booth and Hunter were talking shit to each other then?

[Flea Man]

Fair play to Booth. Assuming he can make it maybe the winner of Davies-Napa and then onto something bigger. Should he stay at 122 or go down to Bantam?

[TFFP]

Fair play to Booth. Assuming he can make it maybe the winner of Davies-Napa and then onto something bigger. Should he stay at 122 or go down to Bantam?
Wherever he can get a good offer I'd think. He can compete at either, not like he relies on power or strength.

[chrisfinch]

"He needs to change his nickname to FAR too smooth":patsch

Oh that wacky McCrory:rofl

[LHL]

Brilliant by Booth :happy

Thought he hit his peak in the moran fight but that was just amazing

[ishy]

Brilliant by Booth :happy

Thought he hit his peak in the moran fight but that was just amazing

Agreed :good

[LHL]

Would be great to see Booth get the Euro strap

[dan-b]

He looks ancient, facially.

[scurlaruntings]

Jason looked marvelous. Iv always liked both brothers but this was quality British/domestic matchup and performance. Hunter just doesnt have it in him anymore and im surprised he came back. Looks like the weight killed him as he looked like a bag of bones and was tense throughout the fight. Anyone see how fat Nicky has got?!?!?!?!?!

[scurlaruntings]

He looks ancient, facially.That was the first thing i noticed. Fuck me he looks old. And he's only a year older than me!

[BigEars]

Knew I should have put a few more quid on Booth, oh well. It's £12 I didn't have I suppose.

[Flea Man]

Think he and Munroe are stablemates aren't they? Remember Booth saying he'd like to fight him though. Make it!!!

[LHL]

Was wondering if it was him or not some transformation that :lol:

[PatrickP]

Would Fury do Price? Booth for me, points. Then onto Munroe or maybe Dunne.

Why would Dunne fight Booth? He has nothing to offer Dunne. I can't see Dunne fighting at 122 again anyway if he does decide to continue boxing.

[nufc16]

think booth definitely has the talent to get a euro title at super bantam, but he's probably too small to take it any further than that. such a shame he lost good years of his career with his out of the ring problems.

[Beeston Brawler]

My thoughts exactly.

It's weird how even when you win, you are still pissed off that you didn't load up.

I felt far more confident about this one than I did about Simpson vs Truscott, yet I staked twice as much on that fight :nut

[TFFP]

My thoughts exactly.

That's the problem with being a gambler. When a good price comes in so fucking easily and it looked so obvious you always wish you did more! :yep

[trotter]

Superb performance by Booth

[Harry Chibber]

Hunter was shot but what a great performance from Booth, I love watching the guy fight he's just.... well.... 'too smooth'. I don't even think he got going tonight but when he starts connecting with his combinations it just looks so natural... beautiful boxing.

Really enjoyed listening to the interview afterwards, seems like a real respect between the 2 boxers. I'd love to see it but don't think Maloney will match them

[safc1990]

Which twat thought it would be a good idea to call Jaffa 'The Mackem Mover'? :oops:

Bollocks, the Mover is in the ring, twat.

[TFFP]

I thought the Mighty Mackem was good.

[LHL]

There's only one mackem mover
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

I like how they don't announce the full record when its abismal.

We're all so wise after the event,son

[safc1990]

Jim Watt loves Jeffries jab doesn't he? Every fight he purrs over it.

[ishy]

It is a good jab, he doesn't fanny around with it.

[Beeston Brawler]

I don't think Munroe vs Booth will happen personally - would be a good one though.

Maloney has to move Jeffries on though, four absolute patsies in a row :-(

[TFFP]

Its a nice jab. He reminds me of Kelly Pavlik. Very jab/right hand orientated, natural heavy handed power. Little bit more fluid though.

[safc1990]

I don't think Munroe vs Booth will happen personally - would be a good one though.

Maloney has to move Jeffries on though, four absolute patsies in a row :-(

With the tickets he can sell? Not a chance of it happening unfortunately. Hope he fights out of Sunderland for the next couple of fights.

[dan-b]

Jeffries is average.

[calumbo]

niall quins wife looks a bit of a ride!

MILF!

[DAVEMAKER]

niall quins wife looks a bit of a ride!

MILF!
hahahahaha... your not wrong tho

[safc1990]

niall quins wife looks a bit of a ride!

MILF!

She is superb. :yep His daughter ain't bad either. :hey

[TFFP]

Jeffries looking a little bit stale here. Lost for ideas. Needs to work his openings with feints, vary his punches to head and body to make openings.

[dan-b]

He looks like he's getting the hump because this bum doesn't want to fall over for him.

[znaak]

Jeffries looking a little bit stale here. Lost for ideas. Needs to work his openings with feints, vary his punches to head and body to make openings.
And to keep his distance, not falling in over and over again.

I just don't think he's very good. Throws slow punches like Craig McEwan.

[safc1990]

I don't like the fact that Jeffries keeps looking at the referee everytime they get in close. Looking very average tonight, not at all convinced by his defence.

[DAVEMAKER]

I don't like the fact that Jeffries keeps looking at the referee everytime they get in close. Looking very average tonight, not at all convinced by his defence.
like sven ottke its pissing me right off, hoping this bum knocks him the fuck out

[dan-b]

@calumbo. Stop spamming the thread with pictures of irrelavent cunts. Please.

[LHL]

Jefferies looks like a normal sky "prospect" here. Need to see something new

[jc333]

Jeffries needs to keep it at distance. He's looking a bit lost in there.

[dan-b]

Jefferies looks like a normal sky "prospect" here. Need to see something new

Yup, boring. Watt always uses the excuse that said prospect is "too intent on getting his opponent out of there".:lol:

[calumbo]

@calumbo. Stop spamming the thread with pictures of irrelavent cunts. Please.

sorry mate! tryinhg to watch the fight but mrs quinns baps are falling out!:roll:

[TFFP]

I just don't think he's very good. Throws slow punches like Craig McEwan.
I think he's alright technically. Not great physically/

That's why I said I think he's the least talented of the Olympians but the one that can be moved along quickest, as I don't think he has much talent. What you see is mostly what you get, with a few refinements needed. I'm sure they'll milk him but I think he's ready to move along quickly.

He's a solid fighter but his success will come down to his toughness/stamina/heart. If he's got that he can do okay, he wouldn't be the first basic fighter that trades on limited attributes.

[Harry Chibber]

I just don't think he's very good. Throws slow punches like Craig McEwan.


Fair comment, there's a lot of simialrities between McEwan & Jeffries

[dan-b]

sorry mate! tryinhg to watch the fight but mrs quinns baps are falling out!:roll:

Allow me to introduce you to the lounge. [Only registered and activated users can see links]

[jc333]

I just don't think he's very good. Throws slow punches like Craig McEwan.

I know what you mean but McEwan would be too good for him at the moment.

[LHL]

To be fair the German hasn't went into a shell like so many do. If this was another prospect i think they would have him out of here by now. His jab is solid but thats about it tonight.

[dan-b]

TFFP, you're a God among Gods. I think you've summed it up perfectly there. I'm certainly not enthused to watch his fights if they're going to look like this though.

[TFFP]

I doubt Jeffries would have any problem with McEwan. They are quite different, McEwan tries to be cute and counterpunch whereas Jeffries is just basic, there is nothing ambitious in his approach.

Jeffries is a fully fledged light heavy and a big one, McEwan could probably make 154lbs.

[dan-b]

I know what you mean but McEwan would be too good for him at the moment.

Of course, it would be a very ugly fight though!:lol:

[LHL]

Jefferies could do with a big straight right after some of these jabs. Don't think he works off the jab as much as he could.

[dan-b]

Jefferies could do with a big straight right after some of these jabs. Don't think he works off the jab as much as he could.

His right hand is terrible; falls short and he falls in with it.

Nah man, McEwan is a solid middle. Jeffries should be at 168 imo.

[LHL]

His right hand is terrible; falls short and he falls in with it.

your right there just something he could work on. Nothing i enjoy more in boxing than a solid one two that could cause a knockout like Lewis had.

[Flea Man]

Does Jeffries need a new trainer? Just for some tweaks? He's a good lad would like to see him do alright. If he has a good chin he can be moulded into a decent fighter I reckon. I say this without watching the current fight :good

[nip102]

fair play to that journeyman he really earned his paycheck Jeffries needs work who's his coach

[safc1990]

Does Jeffries need a new trainer? Just for some tweaks? He's a good lad would like to see him do alright. If he has a good chin he can be moulded into a decent fighter I reckon. I say this without watching the current fight :good

Didn't he have a reputation in the amateurs for not having that good a chin?

[jc333]

I'm looking forward to seeing Groves.
How do you guys rate him?

[TFFP]

He was going to fight Alfredo Angulo at 154lbs and its been long discussed about moving there so his camp must have thought he could. He's an average sized middle at best. I don't think he'd beat Jeffries, McEwan has had his shit nights too.

[LHL]

Didn't he have a reputation in the amateurs for not having that good a chin?

Heard that as well. Was he dropped in Beijing

[LHL]

I'm looking forward to seeing Groves.
How do you guys rate him?

Best prospect for me in Britain. Never seems out of ideas in the ring (waits for Groves to have a shocker here :lol:)

[dan-b]

He was going to fight Alfredo Angulo at 154lbs and its been long discussed about moving there so his camp must have thought he could. He's an average sized middle at best. I don't think he'd beat Jeffries, McEwan has had his shit nights too.

Fair enough. I'm fairly sure I was making the point that I think both are poor though.;)

Jeffries has never gone 12 rounds, at this stage I'd pick McEwan.

[faisal]

bloody hell its a friday night shouldnt u guys be going out partying or getting some pussy instead u choose to stay in and watch bum fights involving nobodies

[Flea Man]

bloody hell its a friday night shouldnt u guys be going out partying or getting some pussy instead u choose to stay in and watch bum fights involving nobodies

Get fucked nobhead.

[dan-b]

bloody hell its a friday night shouldnt u guys be going out partying or getting some pussy instead u choose to stay in and watch bum fights involving nobodies

I suppose you're writing this message from the club whilst a hot babe sucks your clit, right?

[safc1990]

bloody hell its a friday night shouldnt u guys be going out partying or getting some pussy instead u choose to stay in and watch bum fights involving nobodies

So why aren't you out? And it's a Saturday night which is party night up here, unfortunately though I have a trial shift tomorrow night.

[TFFP]

Groves looks smooth, very relaxed in the ring. Against more ambitious opponents he'll pick them apart.

[jc333]

bloody hell its a friday night shouldnt u guys be going out partying or getting some pussy instead u choose to stay in and watch bum fights involving nobodies

I'm a fan of boxing, watching boxing and drinking good whisky.

Now fuck off.

[dan-b]

So why aren't you out? And it's a Saturday night which is party night up here, unfortunately though I have a trial shift tomorrow night.

His Friday night must be infinitely worse than ours, given he's attention seeking from us.:yep

[Flea Man]

Anyway, I'm in bed on a Friday night because I'm busy tomorrow....but why? It's slipped my mind.







WAR FROCH!!!!

[Beeston Brawler]

:zzz :zzz :zzz

Throw a punch please.

I want to see a fight, not Nelson-Akinwande II.

[jc333]

Groves looks very composed. He has the look of a natural about him.

[Harry Chibber]

bloody hell its a friday night shouldnt u guys be going out partying or getting some pussy instead u choose to stay in and watch bum fights involving nobodies


my 'pu55y' has fallen asleep beside me on the couch... finshed a takeaway, can in hand and boxing on the tv... fucking bliss mate!!

[dan-b]

Groves looks smooth, very relaxed in the ring. Against more ambitious opponents he'll pick them apart.

Nice on the eye after that horrendous display from Jeffries.

[TFFP]

It's a long time since I've seen a Brit as relaxed as Groves in the ring. Refreshing.

[jimcox88]

of all the uk prospects ive been most impressed with groves. very classy

[Flea Man]

Take it jeffries won on points then? Nice to see all these lads getting airtime.

[TFFP]

Nice on the eye after that horrendous display from Jeffries.
Yes.

You should check out his sparring with Fragomeni. That convinced me he's the real deal.

[ishy]

Groves needs to be moved on a bit quicker. He clearly has the talent and maturity, definitely Britain's best prospect.

[2tall2slow2]

bloody hell its a friday night shouldnt u guys be going out partying or getting some pussy instead u choose to stay in and watch bum fights involving nobodies

Oh the irony. What exactly are you doing then? Some of us did that years ago and have someone waiting in bed for us right now.

On topic.
You can really see Booth & Hayes influence on Groves. He's got the same loose style then loads up.

[dan-b]

Yes.

You should check out his sparring with Fragomeni. That convinced me he's the real deal.

Is the footage on YouTube?

[Flea Man]

What kinda opponent could you envision Groves competing with? Is he at 168?

[Beeston Brawler]

Groves did really well in that round.

I'm with the previous posters though, move the kid on.

No need for the bum of the month club.

[jc333]

This guy is very good. It's nice to see someone look relaxed in the ring. He punches very accurately.

[dan-b]

I hope they do move Groves quickly. I never see the point of a fighter having his record padded with cans when they're clearly better than that.

[TFFP]

Is the footage on YouTube?
I'm fairly sure it was posted here from YouTube but I can't locate it. :huh

There is a lot of good footage of Groves sparring on YouTube, against Domenico Spada and a heavyweight too.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[jc333]

Who would you like to see him in against? It's pointless just padding his record.

[Harry Chibber]

tough opponent but Groves looks excellent, not much defence but his punches were coming from everywhere... looking forward to seeing more of him

[chrisfinch]

Seems a wise head on Groves as well, no trash talking like a lot of his fellow prospects at the mo.

[dan-b]

Good stoppage. He's got the personality to go with his talent. Figures crossed for him.

[Bodysnatcher]

I haven't missed David Price, have I?

[Beeston Brawler]

I'd stick him in with someone like Dilks or Billy Boyle next.

[ishy]

I haven't missed David Price,, have I?

You have, he was shown first.

[Flea Man]

I'll chuck a name out there that would be a decent gauge of just how good you guys think he is. Paul Smith?

[dan-b]

I haven't missed David Price, have I?

'Fraid so. It was right at the beginning, live.

[Harry Chibber]

I'll chuck a name out there that would be a decent gauge of just how good you guys think he is. Paul Smith?


fighting next week aint he?

[Bodysnatcher]

'Fraid so. It was right at the beginning, live.

Cheers. I assumed they'd go straight the main event as usual.

[Flea Man]

fighting next week aint he?

You misunderstand. As I'm not watching and everyone is saying Groves needs to be moved up I'm saying how would he fare against someone like Paul Smith? Assuming Groves is fighting at 168?

[TFFP]

Beautiful performance from Booth, made the show in itself. 3 live fights was a bonus, Groves the most impressive by far.

Thanks lads.

[G.A.V.]

Lol'd at Groves fighting, he just fought exactly like Haye.

I was hoping Trevor Crewe was fighting on this bill but I guess it's not to be. How was David Price btw, as awful as he seems?

Disappointing performance by Jaffa too, he needs to stop fighting in Sunderland for a while, he needs to get some patience, defense, and some clinching savvy, he just looked lost when the bloke was holding onto him. He would not like to fight a Light Heavyweight Ricky Hattonesque fighter.

[dan-b]

Beautiful performance from Booth, made the show in itself. 3 live fights was a bonus, Groves the most impressive by far.

Thanks lads.

Yup, it was a good FFN.

Take it you'll get to see tomorrow night's fights?

[jc333]

Not a bad card at all. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Thanks, yet again, for your words of wisdom lads.

[dan-b]

@G.A.V. Price looked okay. He's yet to make that jab a weapon but, given his time out of the ring, he did a decent enough job. His conditioning was very good also.

Yup, it was a good FFN.

Take it you'll get to see tomorrow night's fights?
Absolutely.

I have ARD so I can watch the Abraham/Taylor fight on TV.

I'm signed up to a particular website for all boxing ;)

I enjoyed tonight. Seeing Price and Groves brought back memories of the Setanta days.

I was hoping Trevor Crewe was fighting on this bill but I guess it's not to be.

Same here, last time I saw him he looked as though he had genuine one-punch KO power. I'll be intrigued to see if this trend continues or whether it was a one-off thing.

[icemax]

He looks ancient, facially.

Thats what the beer does to you

Groves looked like a class act. He was patient, boxed and moved well and once he picked up the scent he was clinical. I liked his efficiency too, he didnt waste many punches. Jeffries and Billy Joe Saunders could learn from Groves performance tonight, as they were a bit reckless and untidy with their recent efforts in trying (unsucessfully) to take out tough journey men. Cant wait to see Groves in action again, he is fighting in 3 weeks time, what bill is that and I wonder if it will be on Sky?

Sky's domestic coverage is excellent at the moment, not only was tonight's bill an excellent one, but we have quite a few more good Friday Nights to come.

Any ESPN US fights tonight... BTW ESPN doesn't seem to show any fights these days

[RyDogg123]

Nah man, McEwan is a solid middle. Jeffries should be at 168 imo.


Wrong Mcewan beat vera at 154!!

[kosaros]

Good news: Jon-Lewis Dickinson wasn't shown.

Bad news: Travis Dickinson wasn't shown.

Anyone know how they got on?

Also, Booth and Groves were quality.

Cheers Slip was wondering why they hadn't showed anything :verysad

[paddymickey]

Booth boxed well he is peaking. Maloney is not interested in him fighting Munroe but perhaps he will pit him in with Paul Hyland. How did Jeffries get on tonight I missed his fight! as for McEwan - How about McEwan V Barker?

[G.A.V.]

Good news: Jon-Lewis Dickinson wasn't shown.

Bad news: Travis Dickinson wasn't shown.
To me, they're both boring.

Saw them on both cards, they're terrible.

[sitiyzal]

:roll: not everyone here is a wet behind the ears 17 year old.

Jon-Lewis won on points, Travis won by a 1st round TKO.
