Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2021 Yeah, I hope Herring wins. He seems proper sound in everything I’ve seen of him. And Stevenson seems a bit of a twat. I think Herring’s losing this one unfortunately though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 26, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 26, 2021 Yeh the fight ended up being deflatingly one-sided. I cant recall a high profile World Title fight where it was evident within a minute of how it was gonna play out. Stevenson on a whole different level.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 3, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 few days away... Super Middleweight Unification. When the seeds were sewn, i dont think there was much excitement behind a Canelo/Plant fight, but credit to Caleb Plant, he's helped turn this into a bit of a monster grudge match. Especially after it kicked off after the press conference. I dont know if Plant stands much a chance, theres a hope that Plant may raise to the level of his opponent here, and he needs to do that after labouring to decision victories in his last fight, hes a slick fighter with fast hands. The talk is if Canelo wins, he vacates and starts chasing Light Heavyweight belts, the nutter. Personally id like to see him fight David Benavidez before he goes. The All Access series for this is meant to be great. I havent watched it yet, but heres the episodes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 5, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2021 its one of the best combat weekends of the year, but if you are after some early Saturday evening shit before the big ones, you could do worse than either of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Is anyone actually buying the Canelo/Plant fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 5, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2021 Its a hard sell when UFC 268 is on at the same time for free on BT Sports, not to mention the 4-5am start time. I wont be buying it, but i cant wait for the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 6, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 6, 2021 Its a different Canelo for sure. Hes usually calm and collected, even Billy Joe Saunders didnt get under his skin the way Plant has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 8, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2021 Standard Canelo affair in the end. I thought you could make a genuine case for Plant winning the opening 5 rounds, but like always Canelo just keeps the pressure on and his opponents eventually wilt under it. That said, i thought Plant was superb defensively, until he got knocked down he barely shipped any real damaging shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the stoppage was a terrible one for this, Cartwright seemed to have his wits about him when he was knocked down. Maybe the awkward way he hit the deck had something to do with it. Tellingly his corner didn’t seem to bothered though. Coventrys finest RWB fighting in the spiritual home of UK wrestling was nice. Shame the way the fight ended but that cut was as nasty as a kebab from Express Diner on Far Gosford Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 15, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Bloody hell, that Matchroom show. 2 of Eddie's World Champions utterly whiped out. Kid Galahad was going about his business for the best part of 5 rounds, then he got flattened out of nowhere. Debate will be whether not Dominic Ingle should have sent Kid out in round 6, cause he paid for it. Devastating finish. Kiko Martinez is the man. In the co-main event, Terri Harper got destroyed by Baumgarner. There are huge disparities in the abilities between the best women boxers and the rest, and despite Harper being the defending World Champion, she looked leagues below Baumgarner here, in terms of power, skill and as a pure athlete. Couple of shockers! Edited November 15, 2021 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
