You can tell this Czech was a l;ight middle in the Olympics 10 years ago...he's got a gut like me. Hobon still working the jab. Polakovic still ducking around a lot, trying to negate the height and reach advantage. Hobson pushing forward, got caught by another counter. A bigger puncher might have hurt him. Polakovic wants to hang on. Mickey Vann has a workd as Polakovic turns away.
Hobson again....he's cruising. Already it'll take a KO for the Czech in my view.
Second half of the fight. Although Polakovic is a southpaw, perhaps Hobson could attack more. Polakovic looks knackered, more wrestling, even less Boxing. Fair right from Hobson. Working the body more. The Czch;s left eye is bleeding proper now. He finallly comes forward and gets caught with a Hobson right. NBice left hook from Hobson, pushing him into the corner. Good one two from the Czech catches Hobson. Good right body/right hook combo from Hobson.
Hobson 6-0 i reckon, nowt much at all from this Czech.
HANG ON CZECHY!  YOU CAN DO IT!
I have Hobson on points
;DQuote:

Hobson settling for a points win, and he's cruising.
Hobson caught by a good left. Not much behind it. Nice one two from Hobson. Typing Polakovich is a bloody hassle, anyway, that guy is trying to dance, away from hobson. If hobson can corner him and tee off with a few, that could really put this Czech in trouble. The Duke is pretty accurate, Hobson outworking the Czech but not looking for a KO too much. Hobson dropping his left a bit...he needs to go to work cause unless its a KO then it ain't too impressive.
yeah starting to lose intrest in this fight.... bring on mitchell 8)
Be easy on Ol' Hobson there will ya ;) Don't force him to do something he ain't willin' to do lolQuote:

Nice short left from hobson coming out of the hold. nice right left from Hobson. Good combo from Polakovich. Hobson still getting the better of it, but he seems to be tiring down to the Czech's level.. Good right from Hobson. Polakovich is turning his back, and Hobson gets warning for hitting on the back of the head. Second warning for Hobson. Polakovich finally showing some attacking intent. Coming forward a bit more. Good finish by Polakovich. I'll give this as another tie.
Hobson 100 - 92 with two to go.
You're probably right, but we've got Curtis Woodhouse up next. Not too usre what to expect. Too much hanging on from Polakovich. I think he probably came in to the ring looking to go the full stretch, and that was his taret. A negative and frustrating fighter for Hobson, he's cruising, but not showing anything that he's dangerous to the division. Fair play to Polakovich, he is trying to use every opportunity to touch gloves, after every round and many times in between, a sportsman if nothing else.Quote:

A bit of showboating on his part. What a snoozer, twenty seconds to go.... nice left hook from Polakovich, and it's all over.
Hobson 120-110, andif Hobson doesn't take this it'll be the greatest travesty in sport. HYobson showed nothing to demonstrate any threat to Nelson or Maccarinelli though, even David Haye wouldn't be too worried going in to this.
Hobson takes an unanimous decision, by a long stretch. Having spoken with him earlier in the week, I'm delighted for him, but this wasn't a very good showcase for him, his great fight against 'buster' keeton earlier in the year was much better. Anyhow, he's the WBU champion, and I finally get a break to run to the loo....next time i'm buying spirits, beer is not the thing here :p
