Josh Warrington v Kid Galahad - 15/7/19 - BT Sports

It was much closer than I anticipated it to be but not sure how you could have given it to Galahad. Don't think it was just a case of not doing enough against the champion or the distorting value of a heavily partisan crowd. I just think Galahad was very negative. It's not as if he spent all night avoiding get hit with clever footwork, for much of the time he tied Warrington up and made it ugly. He made Warrington look ordinary at times but never looked much better himself. When the other fighter is at least trying to engage I think it's fine to give close rounds to the fighter who has turned up and not the fighter whose tactics are little more than I am going to stop you working.

People saying Galahad won need to watch it with the sound down so that they don’t have to listen to Ronald McDonald or whatever his name is. He was wanking his wheels off every time Galahad connected , while when Warrington connected..... silence.
I know people get annoyed about “doing enough to take the titles” but it’s the way it is. And Galahad as well as his game plan went, just didn’t land enough.

I actually feel the opposite with the announcers. I was surprised that they were talking about it being a close fight.

I’ll agree to disagree. Every time Galahad landed , the commentator went berserk. There were times when Warrington landed and Galahad’s head went back, nothing. At the end of the fight, no celebrations from Ingle & Galahad, they knew.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not big on Warrington , I thought Selby and Frampton would be in a different league to him, but I got that wrong. And I’ll probaby get it wrong again, but if he tries to unify, he’ll get outclassed in my opinion.

In all honesty it was a crappy fight terrible to watch very few clean punches landed.
Did Barry dominate not really did Josh dominate no do you think 4 or 5 scoring punches win you the rounds ! maybe not but they were scoring punches.
Josh found it hard to land anything clean to much holding .
I am glad I never went to Leeds to watch it not a very good under card extremely poor.
If I am correct Warrington never really wanted the fight but Galahad was the mandatory it's pick the bones type of fight a fight to remember more a nightmare.

The Fight was in an arena in Leeds. Hometown of Josh Warrington. Home crowds of Josh Warrington. What do the judges hear when a punch lands? the Crowd. How can a TV commentator have the slightest influence on a ringside judge?

Garahad performs better than I thought. His style is very negative, but effective at stopping Warrington's attack. The best result I can give to Garahad would be a draw. The battle is over, but I saw Warrington as the winner

Warrington 115
Galahad 113

I didn't say the Commentator had an influence on the Judges. I said he had an influence on the people on this forum . The Commentator clearly Didn't have an influence on the judges, because the judges Chose Warrington as the winner.
And the Judge that chose Galahad as the Winner was Howard Foster. Since Froch/Groves 1 , I take zero notice of hat he has to say!

Frank Warrens even stated that the commentary by Ronald McDonald was piss poor

I didn't think Kid Galahad had it in him

Pretty good belt holder who will be best off to avoid the champions.

Word out of Top Rank is Warrington isn’t willing to face Shakur Stevenson in the UK, sad if true. But who believes anything Top Rank says
