Eamonn Magee v Kevin Anderson - British Welterweight Title

Evnin All,

Sorry for the late arrival, I was carrying out depraved acts elsewhere, and have literally just bouced through the door, plonked meself on the seat and whacked the telly on.
What we have tonight is the young Scot Kevin Anderson, coming off his first defeat, a shock SD against Ali Nuumbembe in February for his commonwealth title.
Magee is on his latest revival in his career, and although 35 years old....11 older than his opponent is very experienced, and has never been stopped. Should be an interesting battle....starting in about ten minutes or so.

Magee is 27-5, 17 KOs, with defeats against Hatton, Takaloo and Urkal on his list, while Anderson is 18-1, 11 KOs, with his biggest win coming over Young Muttley last year.

I pick Mageelate stoppage or points ;)

Nice one Rhun ;)

Ive got Anderson on points. Magge is going to have to seriously turn the clock back to get any joy out of this one.

Anderson TKO 8)

I've been looking forward to this one. They just showed the pics of Magee's leg after that attack, and that is bloody horrible. Gotta give him props for coming back from those injuries, but also to Anderson for picking this guy as his comeback fight. I really think that Magee has a chance at this one, he's a bigger name than anyone ANderson has faced before and I reckon Magee might grab a stoppage.

Is that Jim Rock in the Magee corner? Anderson got a decent reception from the Scottish crowds. Magee gets booed a bit but that won't bother an old warhorse like him. The announcer said he was from 'Beautiful Belfast' :-\

I forgot to mention that Anderson is defending this title, which he won from Young Muttley in the previously mentioned fight.

Round 1:

Anderson looking to come in with a tight guard, and plants some body shots early doors. Lunging jab, and Magee with a counter. Magee powers a right into anderson's chest. And again.

Ah man, I'll put that down to the home advantage, but I can see that Anderson was for the most part coming forward and swinging more, so they might have given it on aggression. Ah, to be honest with you, having reported for Saddos from ringside on a few fights, I know how it can look different on TV to how it us up close.
