Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
Now we know why Khan avoided him . Pretty impressive result from Thaxton . Well done Jono!
I thought we got the K.O of the year last week with Shane Mosley but this ones gotta be a contender now.
Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
I was at the Rumanov fight and Jonno was just getting back into things when he got that cut, totally outboxed for the fist 5 rounds mind but he was starting overpower him and he was a slick fighter Romanov.
Still a force even at his age and like Mr Hennesey said he'll always have a punchers chance even at World level.
Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
nice to know he won, couldnt watch him yesterday was at a boxing show
Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
Lovley KO from Johno. It was a good card altogethor i thought. Good night of boxing.

Romonov is world class and was in complete control of the fight. He would have stopped Thaxton but for the cut. Thaxton is not at that level. He is a good guy but he would be very lucky to win a real world title.
Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
Good news for Thaxton, he seems a decent bloke and would now love to see him fight Khan for his belt and spark him.
Haven't seen the fight yet, but am getting a copy so can't wait for it

I think Thaxtons losing his punching power so I go Thaxton on points.
Any more predictions mate?
Only joking,dont think anybody was expecting that result.
Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
Rosenthal and the backstage muppet were ruining it for me. Didnt rate the kid who stopped Spartacus, didnt like his punches at all, he's getting sparked soon ;D
Top notch finish from Thaxton, imagine if Amir was on the receiving end of that? He's still be out now. Well pleased for him.
Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
Yeah the backstage reporter was ultra jarring.. I was hoping someone would chin him.
Good stuff from Thaxton. I backed the other bloke but don't mind losing like that.
And Smash, Thaxton was never in the Romanov fight, if they fought 10 times Thaxton wouldn't win one.. simply outclassed. ;)

Agreed there fenster.
The bloke backstage was annoying, he'd ask a question and basically cut them off before they'd finish speaking
Re: Thaxton kicks off exciting new ITV series
The guy that beat Sparticus fights like Froch, it was a good fight, who was he?

Danny McIntosh, from Norwich, it was only his 8th pro fight and he's 28 so a late starter to the pro ranks
