Donny, Haye looked like a beast, when he catches Enzo it's lights out unfortunately :-\

All that weight issue was bullshit, he can easily make cruiser it's just for the Mormeck fight it was delayed by 6 weeks which hindered his preparations.

Enzo is getting KNFO!!!!!

Just saw it on setanta news now, Haye defo will be the bigger guy on the night, but we expected that anyway. Looking forward for tomorrow night now.

Anyhow guys, we have the action from Kiko Martinez v Rendall Munroe bill coming up next , so I'll amend the thread title to reflect that for a while. 10 minutes or so until the coverage starts.

OK guys, the first live fight of the evening from Nottingham is Jason "2 Smooth" Booth coming in to the ring to some Tupac, against (who???) mystery man Lante Addy who has been talking big about looking at world titles after tonight, despite only packing 5 wins from 5 in his record. That Commonwealth bantamweight title fight is up next.

OK, Lante Addy's record announced in the ring is 11-1-1, and he fights out of Accra, Ghana. Personally, I think Booth'll be happier with 11-1-1 than a guy who's 5-0!

Round 1:
Booth opens up with a jab and a right hook. Booth with a couple of body shots. Addy has a wide stance, and digs in two shots of his own. A couple of jabs, and he's warned for holding Booth down in the clinch. Booth moving well and dodging, and gets in a jab of his own. Body shots from Addy are getting through. Booth looking to work the jab, but Addy seems unfazed by it so far. Addy's right hook to the body is landing well so far. Jab and right hooks as Addy comes into them, but Addy ploughs through with another right of his own. Left hook lands from Booth, who is trading a little too much so far. Couple of body shots hit Addy on the bell.

Nothing much to seperate them so far.
10-10

Round 2:

Addy's wide stance is giving him loads of leverage, and he doesn't look too worried about what Booth is throwing so far. Booth with a right hook, but takes one in return. Booth doubles the jab then a body shot, and he's looking to move more at the start of this round. Jab then a couple of body shots, but Addy digs in two body shot. Booth gives Addy a bit of a shove, and he falls over. Good jab and straight right from Booth. Addy is letting booth work, with a nice body shot then flush right hook landing. Booth caught with some of the windmill hooks as he moves forward. Addy is very crude. Uppercut from Addy, and a right hook to the body. Booth is standing stiller at the end of the round, trading again. Addy landing to the body, and Booth with a straight right.

Booth edges it.
20-19

Round 3:

Addy with a body shot and a right hook landing. Addy coming forward a little more. Booth with a nice left hook, but doesn't faze Addy whatsoever. Addy getting body shots in constantly, and he seems to be the more powerful man here. Body shot from Booth. Good jab then straight right from Booth. Body shot and overhand right rom Addy. Nice right hook from Booth as Addy's looping hooks make their circular motion. Good right hand then body shot from Addy. Straight right from Booth, then jabs. Booth ducks off a punch, then body shot and clinch. Smarter stuff from Booth. Body shot from Booth, then a good left hook puts Addy down. Addy takes the 8 count as the bell rings. Fine shot.

Booth 30-27

Round 4:

Addy was off balance and moving into that punch, and didn't seem too fazed by it. Booth going after Addy with body shots and a right hook, but Addy firing back all guns with body shots again, then a left hook up top of his own. The pendulum swings again as Booth returns to the body, then another peach of a left hook catches Addy flush. Addy counters to the body, and Booth finally seems to have gotten the measure of Addy. Left hook from Booth, then a couple of short hooks. Addy going to the body, but seems to be tiring with the pressure. Good left hook then uppercut from Booth, and he's making Addy miss badly here. Addy getting to the body, but Booth returns three, and another fine left hook lands well. Great right hook from Addy lands, as Booth loses concentration for a second.

Booth again.
40-36

Round 5:

Booth opens up with a couple of jabs, and Addy misses a couple of looping hooks. Booth moving well, and picking Addy off as he zips in and out. Good jab and hook. Addy misses two windmills. Jab and left hook from Booth. Addy lands a solo shot to the body. Left hook from Booth, but Addy returns fire with a couple of hooks, but don't seem to have the steel in them of earlier.

Kiko v Munroe up next.

The scores on the doors for this fight are:

118-110, 117-111, 118-111. All Jason Booth. Good defence for Booth, though got caught towards the end as he showboated a little.

This next fights look like it's got KO written all over it. Martinez a massive puncher who demolished Dunne in Belfast last year, with Munroe having a 100KO record at this weight, having lost a bout one division higher.

It's fight time next.

Rendall Munroe...the Leicester binman with a lead fist is coming into the ring looking sharp in a training top and flashy sunglasses. "We Jammin" by Bob Marley is his ringwalk music, and Munroe doesn't seem to be too flustered by anything so far.

Kiko's roundly booed before he even begins the ringwalk, and looks calm enough, chatting with his coach on the way in, and there are some Spanish fans in the crowd cheering him too. Martinez's 22nd birthday today...will it be a celebration or not. They square up as Martinez steps through the ropes.

Next up....I predict fireworks for this one.

Italian ref in the centre of the ring tonigh, which migth be a culture change from Munroe, who looks in good shape. The Alicante man gets plenty more boos as he's announced to the crowd.

Round 6:

Good to have you both along for the ride VD and Lee. Munroe jabbing, and as they clinch Martinez digs to the ribs.
