Pretty Solid Card for a quiet JULY Saturday Domestic fight night here in good old Blighty.

Coyle/Matthews should be full of needle
Brook/Jones will answer a few questions but potentially pose some new ones
Selby/Simion should be entertaining
Hopefully Headliner Campbell can turn amateur and Olympic pedigree into something tangible in the Pro ranks but frankly having him headlining on his pro debut seems to be an unnecessary pressure at this stage.

Ogogo has looked great against admittedly hand picked opposition but the guy is only 2 fights into his career so hopefully they will show his 3rd fight at the end in the recap and Ryder and Woodhouse's scraps too. All in all, a decent card and certainly not one to be sniffed at.

Cool, so this starts at 8 over there? I'll hunt for a stream, any idea how many are televised, might just watch Brook-Jones.

Yeah TV Coverage starts at 8 here, details of exact fights televised halfway through OP. Matthews- Coyle could be worth catching too.

Ogogo in the ring now.

Ogogo stops Boulden 33 secs into the 5th round. Very good performance for his 3rd fight. He has now boxed in the states on a GBP card and in a UK stadium. Good combos, good feet, finishing instinct ,tons of potential.

I'm cheering for Selby but went for the points in the challenge.

Anyone know what Selbys ringwalk music was?

Lee Selby in the ring now. Expect fireworks.

Solid round for Lee.

Hey buddy. Yeah Lee looks like a vet in there. Bit of a clinic here although Simion looked better in the 2nd.

I got visual, hardly anyone in the arena. :)

No, but for a local fighters debut fight as a pro it ain't bad. There are less people at some world title fights.

Simions a buzz saw but Selby in control really.

Probably the worst Ive seen Selby. Hes in control but we are use to see him winning effortlessly. Hes struggling abit tonight. Hope he hasnt found his level and its a case of "styles" instead

The comms are a joke. If you reverse the nationality they'd probably have the little fella in front through workrate

I don't know until the last few rounds Simion looked on another level and it wasn't the one above Selby.

Simion has made things at least interesting over the last half. I had to turn the sound off mid way.

It is a close fight, Selby is tiring.

Well at least they admitted if you saw some early rounds for the "little fella" it's close

I write Richies script.

Even when the right guy wins they cant get it right.

118/110 is a piss poor attempt at humour.

I loves Chris Sanigar me booty, t'ums a proper west country lad like me.

Did Selby come as a young John Ruiz?

No he never hugged that much.

115-113 was fair enough.

The comms ruin fights by not just calling the action. Fucking Selby is "underperfoming" after just a few rounds. What about the "little fella" is actually a good a fighter that's not turned up to jump on the floor and quit. Cunts.

(I'm sulking cause I wasted my joker ;D)

Me in the points race. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...sd399231a.jpeg

I'm more disappointed at fucking up my prediction score than actually losing money. ;D

Crumbs. Coyle looks up for it.

Lol I'm bummed about my first 2 weeks of total collapse. Maybe its time for my holiday default pick to try to get back in the game.

Derry's just been compared to Nigel Benn

I thought Mathews looked up for it when he came into the ring but he has not turned up to fight yet.

They both have a solitary E in forename and surname. That's where the similarity ends.

That was a good round Derry is taking over?
