What do you reckon?
Im praying for my good friend Larry to pull out the victory. After speaking to him he's really confident about what he's learned over the year he's been out. I just hope he can stay relaxed on fight night and execute.
Now you've started this thread though I'm worried you've jinxed it ;)
Nah it's a pick em fight imo..I know people dump on Larry but if all else fails he always has that game changing power..and I dont believe just because of the last fight that he has a bad chin.
Can anyone tell me what time he'll be on? Im in Thailand and would like to catch it. I messaged him earlier but assume all forms of communication are out as he gets focused for the job tonight.
Go WarMachine!
not sure on this one it should be interesting though as whoever gets beat will really have to start all over again both boxers should really be up for it
program starts at 8, i reckon that fight will be about an hour in
i watched the last fight and he got hit by some big punches
I think the biggest reason he lost was that macdermott just settled straight into the fight and larry looked very edgy and nervous and left himself very open
if he has any chance id say he needs to get through the first couple without doing anything daft
having said that sam doesnt punch as hard as john i dont think and larry does have good power
i think sam's the favourite but i think a lot of people will be writing larry off which would be daft
I can't believe Sexton is odds against for the KO. He'd be an absolute cert if he'd been active. Still... he looks a different class to anything Larry has shown so far.
Sexton by KO @ 6/4
Sexton rd 1 @ 16/1
sexton isnt a big hitter at all tho
only 6 by KO and 2 of those were against rogan, which were injury really
i think this is what gives larry a chance
mind you larry will probly be knackered by the 6th
are you watching it fenster?
I haven't got Boxnation but hopefully will catch it.
I don't think you need a big punch to ko Larry. He's just too stiff. Has no natural fluidity. He looked so shocked when Fat John clipped him, like he'd never been hit before.
Sexton is a good starter. Won prizefighter with ease. Has a good jab. Quick start and Larry's gone.
(fully expect Larry to win by spectacular 1st round KO or landlside PTS decision now. Fact.)
Sexton should stop big larry, i would be surprised if he doesn't hes a much better boxer.
Who ever lands the first big punch wins!
I'm a fan of the big O, so I'll be rooting for him. But Sexton really should have the boxing smarts to beat him.
If McD can knock out big Larry, then I'm sure Sexton could.
Where and when?
ooOo now I really hope my boy has truly been working on the things he's been telling me he has. Just to shut you horrible lot up ;)
eric what makes you say Larry will be knackered in the 6th? Are you going to present me with some more "eric facts" (drivel) to prove that statement?
I think Sexton will win by KO tonight.
Remember guys tonight is the first fight im covering in blog (in my signature below) The williams vs Mcphilbin one.
I am going around the boxing sites etc collecting the fans scores so look out for a thread after the fight asking "how yous scored the fight" whether it went the distance of the when the fight gets stopped.
ps:...Mod - Ouma fan is okayed me doing this on saddo , cheers
Anyone got a link?
shame abt the ending....look forward to Larry v Sam II
Job Biscuit (Nice honest fight...except ref's dec to stop fight)!!!!
eh eh!!!
To be honest i thought it was a little bit disapointing
Id rather see them both fight other people
My boy got screwed!! Biggest robbery of 2012!!!!! :p
Still, apparently stopping an 8 round, non-title fight on a clash of heads and going to scorecards isn't supposed to happen. Dude wasn't even bleeding..typical, over-cautious U.K ref.
Well Larry's improved! Jab was better. Just needs to stop looking away when shots are coming and when he is catching shots on the gloves..Also needs to speed up the right hand and stop lunging in with it.
Pretty good though, he's got a jab now and that's the first step
What should have happened? No contest?
Not sure actually..the boxnation team didnt seem to think that was a rule for non-title fights..so I dunno. Maybe a no contest then? Shouldnt have been stopped anyway. Stupid stoppage
i think it should have been given a bit more time as well
and im sure all the larry fans are upset about the result, for me tho id have been less satisfied with a no contest
for larry, the main thing is before the fight he was written off as a chinny no hoper, now people will see him in a bit of a better light
i dont think a rematch is right for him, couple of wins over some better journymen in my opinion, and then step it up again, tom dallas maybe
I think he could take Dallas now..no doubt he was losing against Sexton but he was in there..and you never know with Larrys 1 punch power. He just needs to set it up a bit better. The right hand Sexton saw coming every time
Either way neither fighters stock went down really. Just one of those annoying ends to a fight.
In fights over the years ive seen that are not 12 rounders, the rule is the guy who gets cut gets a TKO loss regardless how it happens. Ive seen it a few times. Having said that, going to the cards is the fair outcome so im not complaining. Should still be a rematch though. Not that sure there will be, Sexton didnt seem to hot on it in the interview after
