Re: David Dolan fights for British Cruiserweight Title!
Dolan is the underdog with the bookies (6/5). I think he can win. But expect it to go the distance.. and he is the away fighter. Hmmm
Re: David Dolan fights for British Cruiserweight Title!
David Dolan will fight for two titles tonight against Rob Norton.Dolan will fight for Norton British title "AND" the vacant Commonwealth title too.Great stuff!Dolan is a totally better fighter/boxer at his natural weight of Cruiserweight!!

Had a look on Justintv and there's no link there?
Should be a good fight. I did think that Dolan was no way a heavyweight in that first prizefighter...
Re: David Dolan fights for British Cruiserweight Title!
I agree in that Dolan's going to be much better at Cruiserweight than he has been at Heavyweight, much more natural for his height and build, and my gut instinct says that Dolan's going to be too good for Norton tonight. Micky Steeds as opponent for claiming that title wasn't the toughest test for Norton, and I've put some money on Dolan outboxing him.
According to boxrec, former IBF Interim Middleweight title holder (lost twice to B-Hop) Robert Allen is on the bill there as well in a walkover, is there any back story to that or is he just there for a buck or two?

Yeah Dolan is a natural Cruiserweight.He has a lot more movement at his the natural weight 14stone.Im sure he'll do really well.Go on Dolan.Im gutted that i cant watch my local man Dolan.I have'nt got sky sports 2,DAMN!!:mad::eek:
How much did you put on the bet mate,and what was the odds on Dolan to win??I understand that Dolan is the underdog in this fight!!Good luck friend!
Re: David Dolan fights for British Cruiserweight Title!
Dolan was just outside evens, so not fantastic, but I really backed him, in a big bet for me with a tenner. After that huge fourth round, I'm feeling good. Norton seems to have recovered, so Dolan needs to keep working.

Re: David Dolan fights for British Cruiserweight Title!
Norton is so awkward to fight, and he got a lucky 8-count on Dolan, where he seemed to push Dolan over more than punch him over. Still tight and cagey, and Norton fairly sly. Horrible to fight, but entertaining to watch!

Awkard twat eh,ha!It was'nt going to be easy.Hang in there Dolan!!
Re: David Dolan fights for British Cruiserweight Title!
Man, two rounds to go and tight as it comes, I've got Dolan one up, McCrory's got him one down, who knows where the judges are at. Harder shots or workrate. Hope Dolan's got a rocket in his pocket!

WOW,sounds really exciting mate."COME ON DOLAN!"DROP HIM;D
Re: David Dolan fights for British Cruiserweight Title!
Norton finds another flash knockdown in the 11th, and Dolan has a good round to end it. I've got it all square, but SD, MD, UD, Draw....no idea.
Here it is as announced:
114-111, 116-109, 115-110 UD to Rob Norton. Think he got some nice scoring there, but definitely didn't deserve to lose his title there.
Great fight, hard luck to Dolan, but Norton must be one of the most awkward opponents on the British radar at the moment. I can't say it was what I expected, much more of a barnburner, but well done to Norton.

DAMN!!Nevermind Dolan,you'll bounch back.He's still young and it was always going to be a bit tricking going in with Norton.I just hope Dolan made good account of himself inside the ring tonight,im sure he did from what you told me mate.I'll have to watch the highlights!Cheers mate!;)
