Jamie Moore v Sebastian Lujan DRBR (including Robinson v Edwards)

Evning Y'all, I trust everyone has recovered from last weekend's bill of home wins at the Millenium Stadium, and are ready for another decent weekend of boxing. Tonight's fare sees the return of Jamie Moore at the Altrincham Leisure Centre against decent journeyman from Argentina, Sebastian Lujan. Also on the bill is the Flyweight bout between Dale Robinson and Chris Edwards for the British and Commonwealth Flyweight titles. Here's the scores on the boards:

Jamie Moore: (26-3, 18 KOs): Moore won a hatful of fans with his superb performance last September against brave Matthew Macklin in what was a fantastic fight at Light Middleweight, but his first fight since then was at Middleweight, and this bout is also a Middleweight and scheduled to go the championship distance. Moore's fight with Macklin was definitely a fight of the year contender, and Moore showed his quality. A pair of fights against Michael Jones saw Moore DQ'd in the first bout, but he returned stronger to demolish Jones in the rematch. A lot is expected of Moore, and an impressive win is needed to reinforce his growing reputation tonight.

Sebastian Lujan (26-4-2, 18KOs): Lujan has proved that he as well as Moore has plenty of sting in his punches, but his ifnest hour was certainly a 10th round defeat by Antonio Margarito for the WBO title. His last fight in October saw him stop another undefeated Argentinian in nine, but since mixing on the international stage, Lujan has shown himself to be slightly vulnerable, picking up a few defeats, but should certainly give Moore a run for his money.

Weights on boxrec have Jamie Moore at 156, and Lujan at 154, and the start time on Sky Sports is 10pm, so some 70 minutes away at the moment.
The chief support comes from the Flyweight contest for British and Commonwealth belts, with Huddersfield's Dale Robinson facing Stoke's Chris Edwards. From looking purely at the records you;d have to back Robinson, despite the defeat against Edwards in the last time out, so an interesting rematch. Is Edwards (10-12-2, 3 KOs) a lucky winner last time out, or does he have the quality to turn a new leaf and become a force on the Flyweight scene?

:coolclick:

OK, so it's eyes down look in time chaps and chapesses, Friday Night Fights returns after a week off, and the faithful superheavy returns like a whipped dog to the master of saddo to RBR it. Jamie Moore is one of my favourtie fighters, and I'm really looking forward to this one. Compact and muscular, and always in exciting form. Sky have him fighting at Light-Middle, so I guess the boxrec assessment that it is at Middleweight is out, but anyway looking forward to it. *Mental Note - don't rely on boxrec for info*

OK mate made this a sticky ;)

CC 8)

What a reception for Jamie Moore, even though he has some dodgy bling over his chest, he's still a damn good fighter, and no showy robes for him, all he got to do is take the gold off and he's ready to go. Lujan looks confident and defiant of Moore...and does anyone remember the caddy from the Happy Gilmore film? He's in the corner for Lujan. Bizarre I know, but I'd bet my left testicle on it being him.

this could be a good little scrap.

good to see my drunken invasion after the Calzaghe fight ain't counting against me.

Round 1:

Moore starts well with a jab and straight. Lujan starts to open up with body shots, but not too forceful so far. Two lefts to the body from Moore. Nice left from Lujan, followed by an overhand right, but Moore's guard is good. Lujan swinging and missing, while Moore,s jabs are good. Nice right lands from Lujan, ad Moore covering up on the ropes, as heavy hooks thud in from Lujan. Hard right from o the body, as the hooking Lujan misses.

Decent round from Moore, with Lujan missing or finding gloves with just about everything he throws.

10-9 Moore, accurate and harder punches.

"Be carefull Sebastian, the ring breaks to the left"

"Thats becasue you only have one shoe"

;D

Round 2:

Two lefts to the body fromMoore, but he does seem to be looking for single punches so far, not linking up with combos. Lujan looks as though he'll swing wildly till the gas goes. Moore lading jabs and body shots, with Lujan practically resting his legs by sitting on the middle rope. Nice right and another hard right upstairs troubling Lujan. Good jab and short right from Moore. Nice left from Moore, and Lujan is being gentle with his shots so far. Bodyy shots and a hard left hook up top end the round for Moore.

20-18

Round 3:

Lujan putting in a few decent body shots at the start of the round. Moore with another hard left. Lujan making Moore thing, as he works his way in, and throws some hard body shots. Moore covers up, and eight or nine shots from Lujan find glves. Mooreis much more accurate with jabs and a hard straight left, but Lujan taunting him on. Lujan is back to throwing balloons in his fists, he doesn't seem to be too worried, but it losing so far. The pundits can't work him out and neither can I. Lujan does a WWE-style regeneration spasm at the end of the round...reminds me of the way Ultimate Warrior use to do it. He needs something.

30-27 for Moore

Round 4:

Lujan grapples a bit now, as he hangs on for the first time. Lujan pawing, and missing frequently, while Moore pinging in some decent jabs, and especially the hard lefts. Good short left hooks by Moore with Lujan on the ropes. and as he comes in Lujan with a hard shot, but just the one. ard left upstairs, and as they grapple, Lujan looks to the corner for instructions. Lujan taunts Moore, and again. Two decent left from Moore, and Lujan look to be having a laugh. Moore looks focussed, and Lujan looks to be messing around. He doesn't seem to have enough quality for rope-a-dope, but I could be wrong.

40-36

Jamie needs to stay focused with this guys showboating tacktics.

never mate it happens to the best of us wish i was in the zone now ;D

Round 5:

Nice lefts from Moore, but Lujan is taking the piss in there. Jiggling his gloves. Moore keeps on his game, with lots of jabs and straight lefts, and is much the more accurate. Lujan swings a few, but wide looping hooks. Pundit for sky just said: "It it obvious that Lujan is not competing and not looking to win this fight." Any idea what to make of that? He seems to be goofing around a lot in there. Nice left and a short right hook from Moore. Lujan lunges a jab in, but this is a little bizarre from Lujan. Moore with a right hook amd a left as they end the 5th.

50-45

Round 6:

Same theme as the last, with Lujan ducking and dodging, and looping slow hooks in, and Moore with some hard jabs and body shots. Left hooks from Moore land, and this is a slow burner so far. Nice left right short hooks upstairs from Moore, and Lujan is still not hitting back hard. Hard left from Moore. Decent right on the bell from Lujan.

Another Moore round....halfway.

60-54 on my card.

Round 7:

Two nice right hooks digging into Lujan as he dips forward. Good left to the body, and is Lujan slowing. He comes forward with some body shots, but Moore is again the agressor coming forward. Short hooks and an uppercut from Moore, nd Lujan is ducing and hanging on. Lujan not taunting any more, andlooks more tired. Overhand left from Moore, and a right to the body. Left connects form Lujan as Moore swings, and Moore does eye up for a second. Big flurry from Lujan, with some thudding body shots, and finding the gloves from Lujan, and he looks to be in motion at last. Not enough to win the round....but an ominous sign perhaps?

70-63

CC for this mate. I can't believe Lujan is still fightin after my boy Margarito broke his ear off!!!!

Round 8:

Moore still chasing, and throwing some jabs early doors. Two hard rights to the body, an an uppercut. Lujan is back in retreat mode. Big left hook from Moore moves Lujan, but he looks unflustered. Moore is very disciplioned and accurate here, ipressive against such an awkward unpredictable guy. Hard overhand left again from Moore. 1 min on the clock, and is Lujan going to do something. Nice right. Hard left to the body from Moore. Left cross grazes Lujan, but the Argentinian looks completely unworried.

80-72

Round 9:

Once again Moore loosing jabs and lefts to the body, with Lujan not doing much. Swinging left finds gloves from Lujan. Not sure if this is a ploy, but this doesn't look like a guy with 18 KOs on his sheet. Moore with his hard body shot, ad Lujan feels that one. Moore swig the left, and Lujan grabs it to get himself some time. Moore jabbing away and is running this fella. Good jab from Lujan, but Moore seems to have his number and returns more hard shots.

90-81.

CC#395 Superheavyrun, Well done mate! :appl:

Did Margarito eat this guy's desire or summat?

Round 10:

Nice jab from Moore. Body shot and a jab from Lujan. Overhand right and a pair of body shots from Lujan. Nice flurry from Lujan, but Moore's guard is decent, and body shots alone get through. Lujan with a body shot, and Moore takes a hard left to his opponents head. Lujan with a body sho, and Moore returns a jab and a straight left of his own. Lujan still bouncing and goofing off again. Lujan cuffs Moore, and isn't even looking at him when he connects.

100-90

Strange fighter this Lujan its like hes lost his ambition... thus far Moore is doing his job and i bet cant belive his luck.

Moore's body shot definatly hurt Lujan in that last round as he was protecting it for the rest of the round.

He punched it out of him. ;D

Round 11:

Is Lujan going to come out with some bombs? I doubt it. Moore with a left to the body. Lujan catches Moore with a left as Moore comes in, and again. Moore with a firm jab. Moore working well still jabbing, and Lujan still pawing. Two hard body shots from Lujan...and strangely the ref moans about Moore using the elbow. Nice right connects. REasonable jab from Lujan, but Moore walks on, walks on, with hope in his heart, and lead in his fist. Lujan is having his bum's rush now, and flurries with hard body shots and a hook upstairs. Moore ducks out of the exchange, and Lujan pounces again with another flurry.

I'm feeling generous tonight....so 109-100, a Lujan round. ;)

Round 12:

Moore opening up with jabs, and a left to the body, he is focussed and not letting the easy nature make him lose his focus. Body shots as they lean from Moore, and Lujan cuffs him with a left, but almost a slap. Moore accurate with short punches. Lujan with some body shots, and he comes forard with a hook upstairs, and as Moore pritects the body, a hard right lands from Lujan. Moore with a jab and a hook, and a flurry of his own. Moore digs in some right , and Lujan ducks in and tries to avoid it. The bum's rush from Lujan seems to have run out, and Moore is jabbing out, and a hard right hook is the last meaningful shot.

119-109

Moore is dominant, and the question is whether Lujan was just there for the cash. Ref scores it 119-110 for Moore, and he's there or thereabouts. Lujan raised his hands after thje bout...maybe just happy to finish the fight. Maybe Margarito beat the ambition out of him, or Dzindziruk did it, but Lujan didn't look like a guy who's fought at international level.

Robinon v Edwards

Robinson opening the stronger in round 1, but Edwards land a couple of jabs. Right from Edwards, and Robinson not too visious with his punches. Good uppercut from Edwards, but and overhand right reply from Robinson, and some hard rioghts pierce Edwards' wide guard. Jabs get through from Robinson, and a decent right. Edwards with a choppy left. Nice body shot from Robinson, and he takes the round for me.

10-9 Robinson

Round 2:

With a big ref, this Flyweight bout does look a little as though they are midgets fighting. Either that or U13s on a club card without the headguards. Edwards looking to come forward bt Robinson is classier so far. Body shots from Edwards, and Robinson jabbing, and a nice right. Right from Edwwards, and some body shots getthroufh from Edwards. Good left from Edwards, but Robinson lands two hard rights and a body shot. Edwards with an uppercut, and a hab forces Robinson to cover up. Edwards lands a left on the bell, but another Robinson round.

20-18

Round 5:

Sky coverage skips forward, and I have no choice but to join it. Glenn McRory has to earn his corn and talk for 6 minutes later. Edwards with some hard punches, and Robinson is still the one walking his opponent down. Nice right from Robinson, but a hard body shot . Nice left and body shots from Edwards, and Robinson showing some rights of his own. Edwards is more elusive, but still seems to have more power. Robinson with a decent shot, but Edwards simultaneously clocks him with a right. Nice left from Edwards, and a body shot.

Can't score it, with two missing rounds, but Robinson takes that round, but Edwards making a very good fist (ahem) of it.

Rouind 6:

Edwards is countering well, but his face is reddening, with Robinson landing some good rights, but he is getting clocked with some belters. Hard body shot from Robinson, who is much the more accurate of the fighters, and Edwards work seems to find gloves and body, but Robinson seems the more accurate and calm. Both get cut from punches. Robinson is upright, but has the stronger punches. Good left hook catches Edwards. He returns his own, and a jab. Robinson seems to be dominating now.

I guess class will out, and Robinson seems to have that at the present itme.

Round 8:

Robinson with viciouspunching opens up another cut on the left eye of Edwards now. Doc has a look, says ggame on, and Edwards coming forward now. This cut has spurred him into coming forward, and some impressive punching from Edwards gives him that round. The landed punch stats have Edwards at 118, and Robinson at 117. Hard to call but Edwards the strongest in the eightth.

Round 9:

Right from Robinson, but Edwards throws back two of his own. Big right from Edwards, and the cut is bad on Robingson. The ref ask the docetor to have a look at it. Doc says "1 more round". Edwards comes out swinging, looking for that cut, and finding it twice. Good right and uppercut from Edwards. Robinson is scared now, and isn't throwing much. Robinson blleding badly now, and Edward trying to open it up. Good right from Edwards.

I've seen five from nine rounds, and I see robinson three rounds to two up. That cut looks nasty though.

be a shame if they stop this on a cut as its a cracking fight...((but that is a bad cut))

annoys me that sky aint showing all the rounds though.

Round 10:

Ref lets it go. Robinson jabbing and overhand rights looking for a bingo punch, and Edwards working harder now. That right is hitting home every time from Edwards. Edwards warned for a low blow. Good right from Edwards as Robinson lunges and misses. Edwards' cut opens again. Nice left hook from Robinson, but Edwards with jabs and more rights to reply. They might be fighting pygmies, but it is sure as hell entertaining. dwards with the higher workrate, and some decent hooks from Robinson, but Edwards is outworking Robinson now, who seems knackered.

Yeah...hey didn't show three and four which both went to Edwards' on sky's card.

Round 11:

Robinson jabbing out and lands a fine left hook. Edwards with some jabs and straights landing well. Robinson has grease on his face, and he's bleeding horribly. Edwards with some huge shots, and he is looking better again this round. Edwards with Body shots, and Robinson looks exhausted, and Edwards bouncing aound. Robinson digging in some body shots, and Edwards thinks he might get this after all. Ref has another look at another cut on Robinson, but on the opposite eye to the first check. Big right from Edwards. Body shot from Robinson, and a hook. But Edwards is working like a hero down here.

Edwards' round.

Round 12:

Can't hold anything back now, they don't want to leave anything in the ring. Edwards, with a 10-12-2 record looks set to overturn massive odds again to become a double champion.

Robinson looking to fight at distance, but Edwards getting in and pings off three body shots. Good right from Robinson, but Edwards flings three hooks at Robinson. Nice right from Edwards rocks Robinson. They both slump on the ropes... this is like mini rocky. We could make a film and call it pebbly. Edwards banging some huge shots, and Robinson coming forward with overhand shots, and this is a cracking last round. It's a bloodbath in there Jim, and there's definitely no saucers under the cups. More wrestling, but Edwards is the man with the workrate. Robinson with a hook, and Edwards with a short uppercut.

Great fight with the wee fellas.

Two pairs of eyes...four horrible cuts and one cracking fight. If Edwards takes it it is a real rags to rigches story, cause he's stepped up many levels over recent months.

Results.

113-115 Robinson, 113-115, Edwards, 114-114. Draw. A blinking draw, and neither figher gets a title. Both titles were vacant and they both go home empty handed. I really want Edwards to get it, but I guess it looked fair from the rounds we saw.

good fight that one both fighters showed alot of heart...

cant really comment on the draw as sky didnt show all the rounds but am quite happy to watch them do it all again 8)

Thanks for the round by round,CC to you for that, sounded like a walk in the park for Moore.

Yeah, Lujan only looked dangerous in bursts...but his form in those periods were impressive enough to suggest he could have given Moore a decent run for his money if he really wanted to. Unfortunately Lujan wasn't really at the races and it was barely a stroll to the loo from bed, cause a walk in the park would suggest the effort of getting dressed and leaving the house.

What a fight that was 8)

I hope you're talking about Edwards v Robinson...if only those ppl at Sky would show the whole thing instead of cutting a bit of the talky pundit bits instead. If I had to do with choosing to lose rounds or losing Johnny Nelson and McCrory, I know which one I'd pick.
