Warrington-Amagasa/Hall-Guerrero - Sat/SKY. Fact.

[Fenster]

This Amagasa geezer is about 7-foot. He's only lost once in the past six years to Rigo. He has 20 KOs in 30 wins and had Rigo on the deck.

Somehow Warrington needs to get past this beanpoles levers. Warrington being a "non-puncher," and the beanpole only ever being stopped by Rigo, who turned him into the elephant man, will do well to stop him. So it's almost certain a distance fight.

I have done research that reveals Japanese fighters don't travel well (this is complete bollocks but I seem to lose money backing Japanese fighters in the west). It'll be a culture shock having 10,000 pissheads abusing him.

However, at 5/1 i'll take a chance on Amagasa.


Stuart Hall-Rodrigo Guerrero is a coin flip tearup.

Didn't realise Warrington was fighting tomorrow. I've always thought Selby is levels above Warrington, and he is!
But to be fair to Warrington, his improvement and quality of opponents is rising pretty rapidly. Tough test tomorrow. Is it in Leeds? Another mental night, they whip up an amazing atmosphere!

i'm looking forward to it

I cant seem them risking too much with warrington right now, he is on the cusp of a mega pay per view fight

Ward is on now.

Looking forward to another good night of what look like pretty competitive fights.

If I'm honest, I think Stuart Hall may have bitten off more than he can chew tonight, and may not win. As for Warrington, I really hope the home crowd lift his performance, and he does it!

I'm so glad that this is on tonight, I've been drinking since about 3 o'clock out of sheer boredom, I can stop drinking now (or at least slow down) and order a pizza and watch this

I've just watched two decent fights, this one and also the Hall v Guerrero bout.

I definitely think that the right fighters won, and were given the decision ..... BUT some of the scoring was a complete travesty.

Guerrero did make a bit of a meal about the head contact (in a very un-Mexican way), but Hall was coming in and leading with his head just like Evander Holyfield used to do. He would crouch down and put his head in the best possible position to hit Guerrero with it.

He actually cut Guerrero twice with butts, then he got several stern warnings BUT no point deduction for repeated infractions.

I thought the ref was poor here. At the start of the fifth he called the ringside doctor to look at Guerrero's eye (conveniently just after the fight would have been stopped and gone to the scorecards). When the doctor said the eye was OK, the ref then wiped ALL the Vaseline off it and restarted the fight. That meant Guerrero, having just been cut, was being sent out fo another three minutes as if he had not received any corner treatment on the wound .... that was caused by a butt.

I thought Hall was a couple of rounds up, but I was shocked at the wide decisions that had been given to him by the judges.

The Amagasa fight was well refereed, but the scoring was a complete travesty. It was a good fight, and again I think the right guy won .... but Amagasa gave a good showing and he caused Warrington some real problems, especially in the middle rounds where I thought he dominated.

The judge who gave it 12-0 should not judge again. What fight was he watching??

Britain is known as a country where you get a fair shake of the dice of you're a visiting boxer, but if these ridiculous judging decisions and frankly biased refereeing continues we will end up getting a reputation like Germany or Italy, where you have to shoot the him boxer to get any chance of a win. That's why none of the big names ever defend there.

I thought hall lost

Britain is known as a country where you get a fair shake of the dice? Have you actually read any posts from this forum over the years? Or listened to American fighters/journos?

The problem is most fans can't differentiate between the nationality of the officials.

No. I've never read a single post on this website. All I do is log on to make my own opinions.

As I am a solipsist, I already know that none of you actually exist. Your posts are just ramblings from my own subconscious mind, so I can safely ignore all of them.
