Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
I think Darren Corbett just might win this. I hope Dean wins though, because he's retiring if he doesn't and the guy has so much more to offer the sport and just needs to to grow into the Cruiser limit. I can't see how this format will suit him though, he's a slow starter.
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
The scoring of the Scott fight was dodgy. One judge gave him 27 points so they dont think he won a round ? even though he clearly took the last two. Not to mention the KD in the 1st round was a slip.
Looks like we have a bunch of benders judging so lets hope we see some KOS
Dean looked good
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
Yeah Francis looked different gravy. Must be a huge favourite now. So much for the format not suiting him. ;D
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
Dunstan looked like an old inactive fighter unfortunately. :-\
Corbett is still a crazy funker. ;D
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
It went the way I thought apart from Keeton beating Scott. I thought Scott would have too much for him.
I think Francis vs. Corbett for the final.
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
Holy shit! Francis is out!
I swear I've been dead on with predictions lately. I nearly put a bet on Corbett to win. If he wins, at 7/1, I may cry.
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
What the fuck happened to Francis there?
Bloody hell!!!

I backed Keeton to beat Scott and Corbett to beat Steeds.
But my outright bets were Dunstan and Francis ;D :mad: ;D
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
I broke the trend. Thank god.
My girlfriend, who knows little about boxing said she thought Keeton or McKenzie would win because she liked their names. Just heard if we'd guessed that would be the final it was a 50/1 shot. She is pissed now because she told me to go put a fiver on that!
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
stopped betting on these ages ago... Francis went down far toooooo easy for my liking.
i'd have prob bet on Corbett for nostalga stakes but looks like i done the right thing not betting. :-X
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
Brilliant atmosphere last night !
I thought it was silly having championship fighters slug it out over 3 rounds tey have to settle and force a hard pace which is clearly not to everybodys liking .
I swear I coulda sent a carrier pigoen to Dean Francis informing that a right hand was winging his way , I couldn't believe it when it landed .
Send the restless Natives of the Republic of sheffield into raptures .
Thought Dunstan beat Ovil, Ovil crowded and didnt even look where he was punching , Dunstan still has it to offer but after the knockdown you knew he'd have to win by Knockout cos they never score these contests a draw .

You should watch that Dunstan fight again, because he barely landed a punch. It was a one sided, clear decision.

I think you might be right ,watching it from the back of the hall is not as good as watching it on TV , how my immpression of wat happened changed .
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
I think the Bottom line was we didnt respect ovill, we were more interested who He was Fighting next. Well done Ovill Great result, dont spend it all at once and Happy Birthday Buster. ;D
Re: Matchroom Boxing: Cruiserweight Prizefighter Draw Announced
It turned out you were a bit unlucky to draw the fastest fittest guy first, scrap. ;D
One of the slower bigger guys first up might have given you a better start.
