Joshua Buatsi is fighting now, obviously trying to get rounds in. He is leagues above his opponent Cuevas.
Butasi with the Roy Jones Jr glove/boot tap/punch combo.
What is the glove boot tap thing about, ive not seen that beforeQuote:

Joyce stops Thomas in the 2nd round. He is crude, like a young George Foreman, and I thought he was going to blow himself out. The left hook to finish showed great power.
Joyce is the new Loma.
Wants the British title.
Got it on AWE! Alright! :)
Did the announcer just call Rodriguez Cuban?? :rolleyes:
I mean... no offense dude, but brush up on your Caribbean geography. Rodriguez hails from a few hundred miles to the east. ;D
Evening. Butler overweight? Why? Come on man
Yes, surprised myself. The fight is a bit of a let down now.Quote:

Dayam!! Beautiful left hook and Butler goes down. :)
Rodriguez looks quality and making Butler look pedestrian even before being dropped
Rodriguez carries on with the excellent jab in the 2nd round but got a bit complacent when hit by Butler. He is a class fighter and think he has eased off as he knows he has the beating of Butler.
Beautiful boxer, could watch him all night.
Fantastic jab and excellent combinations. He is sharp, accurate and has speed.
Busted Butler's nose in the 3rd.
You have a special fighter here.Quote:

Rodriguez lands a punishing right hand. 4 nil
Don't like Rodriguez dropping his hands. Can't get too complacent in there. Trying to win a world title.
Butler trying to take him to the later rounds hoping Rodriguez will wilt but so far it does not look good for him. 5 nil
Pressed more in this round. Good stuff.
Do not worry, 6 nil, Rodriguez in complete control.Quote:

Butler trying to come forward but gets punished even further with a bloodied nose in the 7th.
Rodriguez has paced himself and been sensible in the fight. He could have unloaded and tried for the stoppage but kept in control of the fight. 8 nil.
Don't want to second guess, but I'd step up the pace and try for the stoppage.
Butler as red as his shorts, think Rodriguez will pick up the pace and see if he can get the stoppage. He will not be careless though as he will get the decision.
But then that's why I'm not in his corner. :)
Flawless performance so far from Rodriguez, 10 nil up. Wonder if he will try for the stoppage?
Not as hard as Nottingham though Carl eh? :-\
Barring a catastrophe, one round away from yet another world title. :) :)
UD, do not know how judge gave Butler 2 rounds?Quote:

The same idiot called Rodriguez Cuban again. F*cking hell.... give the guy some geography lessons FFS.
Butler was made to look a lot more average than he is, if that makes sense. He couldn't outfight and hussle him despite the extra weight and had 0 chance of outboxing him. Bantams are often great to watch and look forward to watching Rodriguez as he progresses and moves on.
Ryder has a better jab and combinations to win but messy first round.
Ryder's round. They could pass for brothers.
Ryder stops Cox in the 2nd who miscalculated the count. Cock up.
Memo to Cox: If you wait till 9 1/2 to get up, it's probably too late.
Haye and Corky up next?
That is just ridiculous. Eyes were clear.
What an idiot
