Evening all,
Tonight's card is just getting under way on Sky Sports, and I reckon this is the best night of boxing we've had in Wales for quite some time. Clev on the comeback trail....finally, Selby working towards a title shot and Rees in his goodbye fight in a rematch against Buckland in what was a really tight affair first time round.
Starting off with the latest of the Smith brothers on the title trail, Callum, v Enzo Maccarinelli's nephew Tobias Webb.
just tuned in in time for the rees buckland rematch, felt as tho rees got shafted if i remember right first time around. was fun to watch hopefully this is as well
rees took that i think stunned buckland a few times, better not eat to many flush or itll be an early night i think
I guess Im going to stop talkin with myself but its a fun fight thus far and got rees 2-1
I'm liking the fight so far, I have it all square through four. Buckland is exactly what his shorts say - a dynamo!
Hope not, I got Buckland on points in the prediction comp!Quote:

This fight is going back and forth just like the first fight did. Buckland gets into the ascendancy, then in the seventh Rees takes it back again. Little cracker!
who's winning?
rees again, cleaner work and bucklands volume wasnt there for most of the round in the 8th rees up 2 i think
BIG BIG round for rees and got him taking the last few now and getting more and more clear, when rees is close in volume to buckland, buckland doesnt have much chance really
Buckland had a great little burst there, though the cut seemed to come from a clash of heads. Rees is probably on route to a points win, but then again I thought that last time.
not scorring anymore as buckland cant even win it for me, buckland did fifteen seconds of work and commentators jizzing over it...fun fight but rees becoming clear winner for me
im pretty sure a headbutt caused itQuote:

Great last round from Rees. Has to have it, surely.
i got rees sd in prediction contest but this should be a clear ud i mean he swept it for me from 7 on but nobody had it for buckland either really first time around except the dudes that matter ringside
Superb advert for the game, Gavin's smarter work in the middle rounds saw him stretch away, and at one point in the last round, I'm sure they would have both fallen over if they weren't leaning on each other!Quote:

Well, cruiser has notoriously been a stepping stone weight class with all the best heading up to heavy, might be the right place for a second title.Quote:

oh he might well pick up a title there...but i doubt it actually most of the title holders at cruiser are hard punchers or extremely tough and think most of them beat him, if he faces one of em cleverly will have a second lossQuote:

On to Lee Selby.
Bellew....anybody would think he was decent the way he talks! Dear oh dear!
rees buckland should have headlined this
Fair play, Bellew does have the ego and the mouth of a multi weight world champion.Quote:

this mexican definitely didn't come to lay down, and hell he might be one of them guys we hear from when hes 30 and has 10 losses due to on the job training
Tidy left hant to rattle Selby too, but Selby came back from it pretty well.Quote:

Hard to see anything but Selby cruising well ahead on points, but I do like the ref picking him up for holding the jabbing arm forward as a yardstick. It is one of my real bugbears in the ring.
they just showed the punch in the replay that opened the cut and no mention of it since i guess theyre going with headbut...
While spoil a good story? Seriously though never had Sanigar down as a cut man but he seems to have sorted it out.Quote:

agreed with this he seems to fight in spurts and lose focus here and thereQuote:
