RBR Norton Vs Dolan, Renda Vs Samuels ii

[LHL]

Already one round into it, the brit forum is slacking lately :-(

[Losfer_Words]

Let's face it, it's just not the same since Ishy stopped/retired:-(.

[rooq]

Already one round into it, the brit forum is slacking lately :-(

not much hype about this show....first sky boxing of the new year as well.

dolan took round 1 i think, but norton will steal round 2

[LHL]

Is i just me or is the whole front row the sky sports pundits or top notch lookalike's :lol:

Terrible fight so far Dolan charging in Norton countering and holding when it gets close

[LHL]

Dolan round 2-1 Dolan by me, he should hit the body more especially when he had norton in the corner. He landed two good body shots and had norton holding a lot and the second norton took a tumble after it.

[sidthehat]

this is so shite

[LHL]

Body shots :happy about time

[rooq]

this fight is shite.

i have it 4-2 dolan.

Why are there so many retarded British fighters why can't they change their tactics when it is clear it isn't working and why do so many neglect the jab and just swing fuck me I wish someone would bring in Buddy McGirt to keep telling them "pop the jab baby pop the jap"

[LHL]

Yep really really shite, Norton needs to throw more than 3 punches too win rounds.

[LHL]

:rofl Ray Hatton looked like he nearly jizzed when Norton landed that big shot at the end

Dolan's fight to lose imo a good few rounds a head and Norton looking very tired

[royalt0208]

Yep really really shite, Norton needs to throw more than 3 punches too win rounds.

And there isn't much on the Sky schedule thats comming up that is worth getting to excited about either.

[Flea Man]

Berto vs Mosley?

Will the devastation in Dre's homeland have the same effect on him that Buster Douglas had when his mother died?

I hope it can be push him on in a positive sense...not there's any positives about what's happened out in Haiti but i hope he can do his homeland and people proud and fight the fight of his life...he will need to because Shane won't let anything stop him trying to win that fight.

[royalt0208]

Fair play the last quarter of the fight improved a lot and the last round was a decent round.

[LHL]

The fact norton is pleased with this sort of makes it look shit, as long as norton Vs Dolan 3 doesn't happen anytime soon ill be alright

[shaun_brown]

I gave that 115-114 to Norton. Dolan got caught more times as he walked down Norton than he threw jabs all night. And I thought that overall Norton did the better work. Dolan's work rate is to be applauded but I didn't see results from it often enough.

[BigMike000]

Is the fight still going? If not, who won?

[rooq]

stream cut out just as they were going to announce the winner. who won?

[LHL]

'kin stream isn't back. is renda - samuel on now?

[LHL]

yep 1st round ending soon

[royalt0208]

Fucking hell these two should fight every week.

[Mandanda]

Renda is gunshy and in big trouble. I was right he came out boxing but he can't box for shit and needs to just gunsling otherwise he's getting stopped. He's in a bad way already. To think Renda could of been fighting for British Title soon...

[LHL]

Those uppercuts from Samuel at the end of the 2nd were brutal

[Mandanda]

Fuck me love these lads...warriors.

C'mon Renda!!!! he's brave as they come this lad.

That bodyshot hurt Samuels....that was just like Gatti and Ward when Gatti was hurt and winced and stayed up. Quality Fight

[Flea Man]

Thought Samuels experience would come in handy as I was certain Renda had no other facets to his game.

[davidjay]

Fuck but Jim Watt is an arse. After seven he reckoned Norton was well in control, at the start of the ninth Dolan was in charge and in the tenth Dolan had been on top all night.

[LHL]

Fuck me love these lads...warriors.

C'mon Renda!!!! he's brave as they come this lad.

That bodyshot hurt Samuels....that was just like Gatti and Ward when Gatti was hurt and winced and stayed up. Quality Fight

Samuels calling him made renda think twice :lol: Great fight so far

[royalt0208]

Another great round seriously loving this these two aren't great boxers and may struggle to win titles but they will give it all and always give exciting fights.

[Mandanda]

6 rounds....how these boys have made it this far into the fight. To think i said Samuels punch resistance was shot to pieces...

[daveyboy1609]

Does it show how good Groves is that he beat Samuels inside a Rd in like his 3rd fight cos Samuels isn't terrible?

[LHL]

Smauels is conserving his energy can't wait until he unleashes it in the last 2 round :D

[royalt0208]

Trilogy lads :yep

[rooq]

where did round 7 go?

[LHL]

Early stoppage imo, seeing what Samuels can do when hurt backs that up for me but at the time i thought it was right. Very good win for Groves but.

[LHL]

where did round 7 go?

I thought 4 or 5 went as well, hate when sky does this.

[royalt0208]

Samuels wins would love to know the scorecard.

[rooq]

I thought 4 or 5 went as well, hate when sky does this.

i missed them anyway.

samuels gets the decision. fuck knows if its right or not as i only saw 2 rounds of the fight :patsch

[Mandanda]

Yeah sky are a disgrace for doing that. No need for it at all. Spend more time listening to Ricky's piss poor excuses then watching fight's. O[Only registered and activated users can see links] Samuels wins!!!!!!! i wonder if he will fancy a third fight....or will he try for one last chance at British Title. A third fight could be a main event on a non tv Hatton show or a chief support shown live next time!!! sky fix up for fuck sakes.

[royalt0208]

I wish Sky would increase the legnth of the show by half and hour because there are loads of decent fights on this card and they can put pressure on promoters to put on more great fights on the undercard like Ricky has been doing.

[rooq]

mark thompson - kevin mcintyre next.. from round 8...ffs

[chatty]

anyone knw the undercard result for the higginson gethin fight

[Mandanda]

How can any of these guys like Thompson and Renda and any half decent fighter get a following if there fights are shown for two rounds. People won't get any feel for the fighters or get to know them out of the ring because there's no interviews...they really should take a note from Setanta's book. It's not hard to actually show some interest....oh live pga golf's on next....says it all.

[rooq]

looked like it might have been a decent fight as well.

my predictions have gone to shit...

[Mandanda]

There's interviews from Thompson and Norton up on the Brand Hatton Website.

[ishy]

I missed this last night :fire

My internet (well router) has been playing up. It was working till about 9.30 and then fucking stopped :twisted:

Still, my new router came today :happy

You didnt miss much last night the main event was shite, although Renda v Samuels put on another good show

[Beeston Brawler]

On paper it looked like a decent fight..... in the first contest there were KD's galore.

Not sure whether it was the main event last time though.

Sky have really bucked their ideas up in the past six months (since Setanta went bust really) - but a few errors have let them down.

Haskins vs Broadhurst wasn't enough to carry a show on it's own.... the fight was expected to be half decent but just sucked.

Then the single time in recent months Maloney put a decent show on, two of the title bouts (from 3 in total) only got brief highlights.

Their policy of title fights only for main events generally works well, but they ought to have category A, B & C - Rhodes vs Moore was category A, and could carry a show on it's own..... whereas last night couldn't in my opinion.

Plus they need to show more undercard action - as many people have said before.

I agree with all of that it would be nice if they could add on an extra half hour so they can throw in a few more minutes of undercard action and also include their little promos and interviews.

I would also like to see them push for a revitilisation of the commonwealth and push to bring back some quality foreign opposition throughout the commonwealth, the reality is that there aren't enough fighters in each division in the UK to guarentee a great fights all the time involving the British if we saw the best fighters from the commonwealth then we would have many more quality main and co-main events.
