SKY SPORTS 1 HD - REES v CROLLA Saturday Night Fight Chat

[Fenster]

Adam Smith starts off telling everyone Rose is not a puncher (rightly) then three rounds in starts wondering if Rose is purposely trying to go rounds

[Fenster]

yeah if the fish was the house fighter he'd probably win this

Yea Rose is landing the better shots but Ribchev is throwing more and has landed a few. I have no doubt Rose will win it but doesnt look a world beater at all.

[Silkeyjoe]

Last round. I have Rose 6-3 up. Decent scrap. Ribchev came to fight.

Rose just seemed to switch off through the middle rounds. He looked great at the end of the ninth when he was unloading, but I'm not sure if its his concentration or fitness, he just didn't seem to throw much when Ribchev came on in 5-8

Yea definitely. You can include the 4th round in your statement too.

Well, The Fish may have lost....but he can console himself that a Lion will never feed the five thousand.

Bit wide on the cards in my view, but hey ho, Rose was the home fighter.

He's defintely got his plaice in boxing though. He certainly didn't piss on his chips with that performance.

(i'll get me coat)

[Fenster]

Rose finished well and deserved to win. The Fish wont be getting much more work in the UK though (he was actually trying to win)

[superheavyrhun]

What a cracking local derby this is! Hope Smith wins, but a superb tear up so far.

[superheavyrhun]

Excellent finish from Smith, that big right at the start of the round was great. Dodson was brave, and the right to finish was pinpoint.

Next up Gav Rees to spoil this particular scouse party!

Crolla is from Manchester aint he?

[KickMuck]

Seems the presenters are going for a late stoppage in favor of Gavin Rees so i will be Hoping Crolla can surprise them

[superheavyrhun]

If crolla is from Manchester then my bad, I just assumed. Either way, good to see he's come straight from his job as a binman.

[superheavyrhun]

Fairly even fight so far, not the kind of fireworks we saw in the last fight though. Time for Rees to motor on.
