The Wacko Wannabe RBR - Michael Hunter v Steve Molitor IBF Super Bantam

Ah well, Hunter shows that maybe European glory is as much as he can hope for. But for Steve Molitor, he has shown a great amount of class tonight, and knocking out the brit in 5 is a superb achievement on his part.

Quotes:

Steve Molitor:

"I have been waiting for this moment for 17 years.He did well, came out boxing, and showed that he can box with me. This is the most hostile boxing territory that I've ever been in. I'm very much pleased with my fight tonight."

Michael Hunter:

"He's been world class for four years, and I've only been for a year. He was a very good fighter, and he showed his quality tongiht . I'm very disappointing not to win this for Barry Hearn. It has been a tremendous year for me, and I'm sorry I couldn't win it for the people who turned out for me tonight."

That was a fierce shot which did him. Molitors record never suggested he could do that, I bet Hunter got a big shock. You could see Molitor had a bit of class about him even in the couple of rounds that Hunter might have just edged

Hard lines.

Good win. I had Molitor

I wasn't aware that he had given up that title to take on the world shot, and considering that he has been pretty busy earlier in the year, I don't see that it would have made that much sense for him to give up that belt. Anyhow, I look forward to see him back in again, after his first loss, so we can wait and see. Sorry Tam, I know you were all in on Hunter in the Killersheep sportsbook, but he was outclassed here tonight by Steve Molitor.

Now that I look at the fight, and have a good look at Molitor, I wish that I did too ;) Hunter had plenty of heart, but Molitor is a classy operator, and has so much to offer if other fighters in the division.

According to sky sports, in reply to Skel's previous query, they say he still has his Commonwealth belt, so that suggests that he did give up hie European belt in order to take this fight.

Elsewhere on the bill:

Kevin Anderson v Anthony Guillet

Rd 1-4

With a win here, Commonwealth Welterweight title holder Anderson managed to set up a bout with British and Commonwealth tile holder Eamonn Magee. Anderson is 23, though at Welterweight, his early punches looked a little slappy, though digged in some good uppercuts. Good body shots, right and left by Anderson. Guillet finding little more than gloves with his punches. Guillet's face reddening as round 2 goes on. He's a fast puncher, but jack-s**t behind it. Anderson working well to the body. Rd 3. Anderson's punches tight andon the inside. Very compact fighter. Guillet throwing ones and tws, no good flurries. Left to the body by Anderson puts Guillet's ass on the floor in 4. Guillet ties up, and keeps guard high for rest of the round.

Anderson v Guillet

Rds 5-8

Anderson is cruising really, not being overly tested by this Frenchman. Anderson's punching much more hurtful. Guillet just running, duckingand dodging, throwing just enough to show that he is still in the fight. Good right knocks Guillet's head back. Doing enough to win each round, but not looking for a KO. Guillet ends up red-faced, if only by volume of punches, but he maintains an unbeaten record with an easy win over the Frenchman. Guillet is resilient, but does little more than hold his hands over his head, and sweat. Anderson looks for KO, but Guillet's guard is good. An easy win for Anderson.

This about does it for me. I'm going to walk four yards to the couch and fall asleep, at least that's the plan.

Adieu, and farewell.

Dude, if they hadcall of the fights t 1am instead of 10om then you would have yourself a proper DRBR but still, I'm enjoying my rum and coke, and if I'm honest, I can't really see to well at the television. If oyu want to know why there is no coverage of the later bouts on SS!, then th honest answer is that I am not ocmpetent to type ay that sdort of speed a nd at that sort of level. Wack son, you are a legend, and if I don't already owe you a CC, then if you can report a Brock victory by UD then you cna have a month's worth of CC's. Anyhow, I need to pass out before the TV, so goodnight folks.

foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook! hunter has fooked it for me i went all in on the bastard lol! well that counts me out :( bastard!

CC for the round by rounds ;)

Hunter being knocked down like that from a guy who aint known for his power aint a good sign but saying that Molitor looked very good and they said they had been working on his power... dont know if it was just me but it gave me the same feeling as when Winky Wright was fighting over here in his early days and was beating up all our great prospects.

good for canada though as i cant think of many great canadian boxers in the past... maybe it will turn out that Molitor was born in london and fight as a UK fighter from now on ;D
