I couldn't see a particular thread devoted to waffling through the fight card and so I have undertaken the task of starting one. If there is another please delete this one, if not, then please feel free to post your observations and musings on either the fights or any other things that may amuse or interest you. Let battle commence, ye heathens.
Beat me to it. I've been watching the undercard.
Mike by ko
Checking in.
Picking Perez & Golovkin.
Cheers Miles, was actually just about to start one myself. It would have been at least the 5th thread I've ever created here:D
Watching the sky broadcast, I'm actually liking Tony Bellew on the mic, have heard him described as a bit of wanker but he comes across pretty well here. Can't agree with his pick though, I think Jennings is going to take this. Ring walks underway now!
I really have no idea about this upcoming fight and just hope it is a good one. Both seem like decent fighters and I have no affinity for either, so just hope for entertainment.
Evening everybody. Perez and Golovkin. Perez by mid rounds KO and Golovkin late TKO.
Good heads up bud. As long as Jennings keeps that chip off his shoulder early he takes this.
Hoping for fireworks! :beerchug:
I'll be surprise if Geale makes it past 5Quote:

That's it then, if Jennings has a day job, then I am supporting him. A mechanic is a fair occupation.
Im torn here. I kinda like Perez, crazy story, but he's now trained by Booth who as far as I'm concerned is a world class knob head. Dont know a lot about Jennings. I'll settle for a good scrap and not care about who wins.
He works at the federal reserve though so he's keeping the machinery going that's stealing the gold.Quote:

Cant get over how big white gloves look.
Untenable. Come on, Perez!Quote:

this has the feel of an explosion
Perez doesn't look to comfortable attacking
I could easily have picked Perez late TKO and Golovkin mid rounds KO. I just picked what I picked for some reason. Had a little bit to drink today. :)Quote:

Rios-Chaves should be a war
Was thinking the same thing! LolQuote:

Jennings needs to cut that jab quicker, paws a bit and looking for clipping short hooks. Perez cannot be missed off sides and has bad, sluggish body language. Getting gritty! Got 2-1 Jennings
4-0 Perez, but unsure about round 1. Jennings needs to land something big as he seems unsure what to do.
Jennings needs to have a little faith. He is still there, when he tries he can land, he is undefeated. Just go for it, Perez is in front of him.
This is a good fight, could score it just about any way so far I figure. Jennings landed a really nice combo in that round but Perez still seems to have control going by the body language.
3-2 Jennings. I see Perez chucking one or two and going Wlad on his neck. Solid combo ripped off by Jennings
Jennings looked nervous when he got in the ring. He looks bothered by Perez's power. Not impressed with either of these guys though.
Perez is going to lose a point if he keeps up those shoulder checks
Best word to describe Jennings. Bland
Sloathish, but Perez best run second half of of 6th. Solid stabs to body and jab. 3-3 even up.
If a guy excepts being hit and blows kisses....punch him
Interesting scorecard Spicoli. I'm struggling to give Jennings any points.
I think Jennings has that round though, he needs to keep it up. Perez was blowing heavy a bit there too, Jennings has to go for it.
7th for example by far more energy, activity and Perez literally waltzing around making facesQuote:

I liked that round, best of the fight and Jennings took it for sure. This might take off.
This is really fun. Perez looking heavy now and Jennings landing far cleaner punches.
Perez was actually a bit hurt there, seems like he might be fading. Jennings has looked good late in recent fights, I think this is turning around.
Perez looks gassed.
Rough 8th, but Jennings ripped him more effective and clean I saw. Perez starting to look like a bit of a dancing bear. 77-75
Not what we were hoping for, but I have to give that round to Jennings just for working. It seems Perez is just trying to maul and hold.
