Ryan Rhodes v Jamie Coyle and martin Linsey V Derry Matthews Thread

[alba]

so who do you fancy?

i fancy matthews in there fight...think he will be hungry to get himself on the title trail and for coyle and rhodes i think rhodes.i do want coyle to win it but he has never fought over 6 rounds before (according to boxrec) and i think rhodes experince will be enuff

[rooq]

i'm going with rhodes in the title fight.

lindsay-derry is 50/50. first step up for lindsay but i'm hoping he pulls it off and establishes himself as a top 5 domestic featherweight

[dwilson]

Just about to phone up to see if I can get a last minute ticket. Wish me luck, I'll be gutted if I miss out on tonights card.


I think Rhodes has picked a very useful opponent for his defence of his British belt and it should prove a good tune up for a shot at Vuma. Coyle is a very capable fighter, seen him on Sky a few times and he has always impressed but I do not think he quite has what it takes to pull off a surprise. Coyle has the height advantage but Rhodes is used to fighting guys bigger than him and his experience and power should come into affect sooner or later. I would pick Rhodes by 7th round KO but he will need to be focused on the job at hand.


Derry vs Lindsey is a great fight and a real hard one to pick but I have to choose Derry. He may get alot of hate but I still quite like the lad, decent domestic standard and a fair bit of experience on his shoulders. This should set up a fight with Appleby and Derry could surprise a few in that fight too and win. Derry by UD.

Josh Wale vs Ramagoadi is an ok undercard fight, disapointed in Marc Callaghan having to pull out but this should offer Wale a good chance to show his ability.

[alba]

aye all things consiodering it should be a good night


does anyone have a link to hayemaker promotions website?

[Flea Man]

Michael Maguire is fighting on the undercard, got the potential to become a World champ in my eyes, got a gimee in his first fight, but at least we'll get an indication his style as a pro (his amateur style was pretty ferocious anyways!)

He could have a pretty decent domestic scrap with Josh Wale if all goes well, who's looking a decent prospect too. Looks like the next wave of Super-Bantam stars could be British!

[maka]

big jamie coyle on points......... good luck jamie boy fly the flag :happy

[kerrminator]

Come on Coyle...

I seen Jamie out running a while back and he looked as determined as I've ever seen him. He was a fantastic amateur (one of the best imo) and its a shame about the eye trouble that stopped him getting his license at first coz the domestic scene would have been totally different if he had been around sooner.

His ABA camp was second to none and has produced some good fighters (including the man in my avatar )

[rooq]

lol@them flashing coyles stat up instead of those of woodhouses opponent.

[Flea Man]

Anyone know if Micheal Maguire won?

[D-MAC]

lol@them flashing coyles stat up instead of those of woodhouses opponent.

You sir are a liar.

How dare you make such a preposterous statement.

They don't make such mistakes on Setanta.

Their head technician is one of the best in the business. Here's a picture of him: :nut

[nufc16]

lindsay down in that second round. matthews really must struggle to make this weight, just doesnt look healthy.

[nufc16]

good 4th round from lindsay. hit matthews with some good shots, shame he doesnt seem to have much power. had choi hit derry with those shots he'd of been flat on the canvas.

[nufc16]

5th going to lindsay again. looks to have sussed matthews out. matthews cut aswell.

[kerrminator]

Its good to see a dirty prick like Derry Matthews getting leathered.

Ever since the Simpson robbery I've looked forward to his demise :)

[kerrminator]

ps. Why the fuck are referee's still allowed to score fights in the UK.

They have a serious job as it is without being able to decide who wins a fight that they are actually employed not to look at objectively :?

[nufc16]

close round the 6th. probably level.

[nufc16]

7th again close. matthews probably edging, but he's not looking good. same old frailties we saw against choi

[bizzer07]

any links??

[nufc16]

8th matthews round. lindsay looking a bit dispirited now, think he realises he's gonna need to knock him out, and he doesnt have the power.

[nufc16]

matthews down and out!

lindsay proved me wrong big style!

wow!

[antcull]

Lindsay Yiu Beauty!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

[kerrminator]

well done Martin Lindsay what a crackin KO

get it right up the dirty bassa

[rooq]

jeezus! massive ko. hope derry is ok - he looked out before he hit the canvas

[nufc16]

matthews completely sparked out, worse than khans.

matthews not looking in good shape, doctors with him at the moment.

[antcull]

shit hope matthews is ok

[rooq]

i had matthews 2 up going into that round. looked like he was going to coast a ud

[1stcontact]

Damn:bbb :scaredas:

[kerrminator]

For what its worth I still reckon Appleby will destroy Lindsay :)

[nufc16]

matthews head banging against the bottom rope. similar to watson against eubank. thank fuck the safety standards are better these days.

[antcull]

what a ******* though, wasnt expecting that, well done martin. Derry is done.

[rooq]

i really didn't think lindsay had the power but that punch was perfect

[nufc16]

eh? does that really go down as a tko as the announcer said?

[rooq]

why did they just announce the result as a tko when derry didn't get up?

[Flea Man]

'Not a banger'

'He needs to be looking for the Hayemaker'

When commentary falls into place like that it's wonderful. Glad Matthews is O.K, that is highlight reel stuff, absolutely beautiful. Julian jackson-esque (though I'm not at all suggesting Lindsay will ever do that again!!!)

[antcull]

you couldn't get anymore of a KO then that, TKO?????
Great fight.

[Flea Man]

Was a very good fight indeed. Looks like Hayemaker are gonna be putting on bills British fans can be proud of.

Still, does anybody know htf Maguire got on?!?!?!!??

[Betty Swollocks]

premature stoppage that. Matthews looks ill though, frail as fuck.

i've bet on Coyle at 8/1.

[rooq]

looking forward top lindsay-appleby now. surely another cracking fight.

[D-MAC]

Go on big Martin. Well done:good

[Flea Man]

Actually think that might've been a better domestic stoppage than Alexander-Takaloo. Brutal.

Wonder where Lindsay got that from? He isn't a noted puncher looking at his record. He'll give Appleby a very good fight that's for sure.

[PaddyD1983]

Thanks for the updates folks, stuck in work so cant watch this. Looking forward to seeing the replay of the Matthews KO though.

[Flea Man]

Before it starts, I'm picking Rhodes by K.O within three. Just got a feeling.

[rooq]

has there been any sign of david haye btw...or is he out looking for an opponent?

seems to be adam booth holding the fort

[nufc16]

coyle so pale :D has he been training underground? :lol:

[nufc16]

i know nothing about coyle, but this is looking like a complete mismatch atm. rhodes in great form.

[rooq]

coyle so pale :D has he been training underground? :lol:

rosy cheeks though. :yep

[rooq]

i know nothing about coyle, but this is looking like a complete mismatch atm. rhodes in great form.

yeah, i hope for coyles sake this doesn't go the distance.

[nufc16]

really need to get rhodes in with pryce now. or small.

[Flea Man]

Adam Booth sounds like his Dad lol telling him to get to bed soon!

[Flea Man]

And Coyle seems to be more durable than his record suggests. Rhodes has hit him with some good shots.

[ScouseLad]

This other fella is in horrendous condition, no footwork, no head movement etc

[rooq]

really need to get rhodes in with pryce now. or small.

small was looking to get a fight with tonights winner...dunno if ****** will allow it though

[nufc16]

really dont know how to gauge this performance by rhodes, as he just had his way with coyle. coyle has looked truly truly atrocious, just a punching bag for rhodes.

[Flea Man]

Rhodes vs. Small first, then the winner gets a shot at Pryce. Small would want to show he's improved since Pryce and then beat him in a rematch. To be honest I'd think neither of them would want anything to do with Ryan Rhodes.

Coyle's warming up though!!!

[kerrminator]

coyles fuckin round girfuy

[nufc16]

rhodes switching off a bit in that round. that was bad old rhodes in there. still won the round, but coyle had his moments.

[Flea Man]

Wow, what a performance from Coyle!

[kerrminator]

Is this gonna be another Cotto Margarito ????????


get in there Jamie ma man yeeehaaaaaaa :)

[nufc16]

coyle landing some good shots, shame he seems to have no power at all. though i said that about lindsay! certainly seems to be finally showing some of the class that got him this shot.

[rooq]

bloody ell..did coyle just win a round?

[kerrminator]

Looks like the younger man is foooooooke hehe

[kerrminator]

The BBBoC prevented Coyle from going pro when he was ready but he is making up for it now .



COME ON JAMIE

[kurt2006]

Wow good to see a fight with no Shah Khan at ringside.

[kerrminator]

Welcome Tae Bannockburn Hehehehe

[kurt2006]

The BBBoC prevented Coyle from going pro when he was ready but he is making up for it now .



COME ON JAMIE

No wonder they tried to stop him, his not exactly exciting to watch.

[nufc16]

coyle looks tired in there, but then again he's had that same look on his face at the start of the fight :D

probably an even round that. rhodes just seems to have gone awol, not listening to anything his corner are saying about going to the body. had pryce hit rhodes with some of the these shots he'd be fucked.

[bizzer07]

any sign of prince naz 2nite, can remember he was at Rhodes's last fight on SKY

[kurt2006]

coyle looks tired in there, but then again he's had that same look on his face at the start of the fight :D

probably an even round that. rhodes just seems to have gone awol, not listening to anything his corner are saying about going to the body. had pryce hit rhodes with some of the these shots he'd be fucked.

Whats with this Pryce talk, the guy is seriously over-rated. Rhodes could beat him tomorrow night. Pryce is just a regional level fighter.

[Flea Man]

I think Rhodes would beat Pryce and Small. But first he's gotta' beat Coyle, who's looking a bit tired now. However, you can't count him out, you can tell he really wants this.

[kurt2006]

Coyle is gone, unless he gets lucky there is no way he will win this. He looks tired and dejected.

[Flea Man]

I thought he should've been stopped there, but he deserves to finish the fight if he can keep fighting back like he did at the end of the round there.

[nufc16]

jesus, if coyle was in some kind of shape he could've made a decent contest of this. can only fight about 30 seconds a round atm.

[kerrminator]

Coyles name now deserves to be up there and I will be sure to congratulate him when I see him regardless of the result now ;)

[kurt2006]

jesus, if coyle was in some kind of shape he could've made a decent contest of this. can only fight about 30 seconds a round atm.

Is coyle always in such shit shape ?

[Flea Man]

Coyles name now deserves to be up there and I will be sure to congratulate him when I see him regardless of the result now

Agreed.

[rooq]

I hope they stop this...

i hope coyle doesn't get any lasting damage from this fight

[Flea Man]

well done to Coyle, 9-3 to Rhodes IMO.

[kerrminator]

No wonder they tried to stop him, his not exactly exciting to watch.


fuck off ya fanny ;)

[Flea Man]

120-108 a bit harsh

[kurt2006]

Bunce is choked up...choked up

[kurt2006]

fuck off ya fanny ;)

Thanks. A lot of heart but boring, not seen some one so one dimensional since I saw greenberg. :lol:

Get him on the forums.

[kurt2006]

120-108 a bit harsh

Yes very harsh on Rhodes. Hat off to Coyle at least he had the heart to go the 12 and never shit his pants like amir the other week when under pressure.

Good to hear that Rhodes is back at LMW.

[Flea Man]

I'm choked too, literally welled up. The only time boxing has ever done that to me is when I watched a doc on Ali (!)

[Flea Man]

Yes very harsh on Rhodes. Whatever. Coyle put up as best a fight as he could, you should give him more respect.

[kurt2006]

I'm choked too, literally welled up. The only time boxing has ever done that to me is when I watched a doc on Ali (!)

and Million Dollar Baby that was sad.

Coyle = good solid honest pro and no b/s hype.

[kerrminator]

Thanks. A lot of heart but boring, not seen some one so one dimensional since I saw greenberg. :lol:

Get him on the forums.

I'd bet he already is mate lol ;)

[kurt2006]

Whatever. Coyle put up as best a fight as he could, you should give him more respect.

I do respect him for the heart he showed but skill and ability wise he should not have been in that ring.

[Flea Man]

Coyle = good solid honest pro and no b/s hype. Sorry, I must've misinterpreted your earlier comment.

Million Dollar Baby was a bit sad yeah. So was Jon Voight in the remake of 'The Champ'.

[kurt2006]

I'd bet he already is mate lol ;)

Wish him all the best and hope him and his kids enjoy the holiday. :thumbsup

[bizzer07]

whats with all the welling and chocking bolloks

[kurt2006]

Bunce is right on one score Ian John-Lewis is a good ref and much better than the old farts FW uses on his shows.

[bizzer07]

he fought his heart out when he nearly got stopped and dedicated it to his sons - he wanted to give them his best to feel proud. How can that not get you where you live?

sorry man, havent been watching it

[kosaros]

well done jamie coyle, incredible bravery!

p.s liked bunceys comment about sky sports locking up there fighters and wrapping them up in cotton wool to stop them fighting the likes of rhodes :good

[hitman_hatton1]

that lindsay ko was one of the best ko's i've ever seen.

what a shot! :shock:

felt sorry for derry after that one.

jamie coyle in the headliner showed unbelieveable fighting heart there.

rhodes was paint jobbing him. :bbb

hats off to both of em.

not convinced rhodes beats small or pryce though.

[girv]

Well done Jamie Coyle, I thought after the first it was going to be a short fight.

If only Amir had a chin and durability like that.............

[kerrminator]

The heart of a St Modans lad ;)

[alba]

Well done to HAYEMAKER PROMOTIONS for a good evening's boxing

[dwilson]

Now fuck off to Disneyland!!!!!!!!!!













Nah great heart shown by Coyle. Brought a tear to my eye at the end interview.

[kurt2006]

well done jamie coyle, incredible bravery!

p.s liked bunceys comment about sky sports locking up there fighters and wrapping them up in cotton wool to stop them fighting the likes of rhodes :good

Was he hinting at a Pryce fight ? Is the Calzaghe stable still with FW ?

[rooq]

that lindsay ko was one of the best ko's i've ever seen.

what a shot! :shock:

he beats small convincingly. pryce would be a tougher match but won't happen

[bizzer07]
