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

[armin]

Rees 7-5, or a draw im not sure what fucking fight the commentators are watching where crolla apparently teared rees a new asshole. Punches landed on gloves are better than no punches thrown, which crolla did a lot of...

[superheavyrhun]

Mcrory thinks Crolla is defending well? I reckon crolla fell short or missed with a few too many shots. As. Long as it's a a round or two either way it would be hard to argue with.

There we go, not a robbery, just a good tight fight.

Not a robbery at all and you can certainly have crolla nicking it, I preferred rees tho and the sky commentary was absolute shit tho they sounded like lampley cheerleading for one of the hbo boys

[tysonesque]

I would really like to see the punch stats for this.

Crolla seemed to throw very little in a lot of the rounds and I have no idea how Sky had him winning by 5 rounds!

[KickMuck]

I think Crolla did just enough to win the fight ...However he needs to step it up to get further in the division.

I think the main decision that has been agreed tonight is that the Sky commentary was a shambles. Those two head clashes that cut up Rees didn't help either.

Sky seemed to be predicting the end of Rees' career from very early on in the fight, as if it was written in the stars.

I actually had it a draw or by a single round either way.

One thing I do know is that Crolla won't last too long with Burns if that fight happens.

I thought Crolla won it, but at times Sky made it sound like Rees was getting the crap beaten out of him. I predicted Crolla would win this a few months ago, he is massively underrated and is really good at slipping in and out.

Not sure he deserves the Burns fight, but I've never thought Burns was 'all that' so I wouldn't exactly be stunned if Crolla beat him.

As for Sky, they're shit at commentary.Jim Watt is particularly awful and I'm not looking forward to him later on. Saying that, Sky have a guy called Nick Halling, and his commentary on the Mattheysse fight and the Stevenson-Dawson fight was some of the best I've ever heard. The guy just replicates the excitement you feel watching Martin Tyler do football. You've got to have the passion for it and this is something Adam Smith, Jim Watt, Glenn McCrory and Johnny Nelson do not convey.

I also think Ian Darke is very good. But my god the rest are a disgrace.

I actually had crolla winning 8-4. I left my scorecard in work but I think I gave 2,3,6 and 7 to Rees and the rest to Crolla but plenty of close rounds in there. Rees tired terribly so hard to give him the late rounds.

[superheavyrhun]

I like Nick Halling, he seems to get many of the lesser known sports that happen over in the US, in fact he's commentating on Golovkin v Macklin and the undercard right now. He used to be on the NFL coverage for Sky Sports, and was always a bit more fun than the dry guys they've replaced him with.

[Tam Seddon]

I thought Crolla did enough to win that one. It was a decent fight though. I could see Crolla fighting Burns but I still think Derry Matthews should have another fight with him if he gets through his next fight.

Ian Darke is my favourite boxing commentator. He really does know his stuff and brings a whole lot of excitement and enthusiasm to his commentary.

Jim Watt is by far the worst commentator out there. He is just awful and seems to spend half his time slagging fighters off and has a really sneering, nasty feel about him.

Quigg absolutely mullers Frampton. He just keeps improving. I have always rated him and closely followed his career, but even I am surprised at his ability to keep that sharp on 7 months of sparring. Smith Dodson was a great scrap and Crolla got Rees on the way down the hill. Don't think Anthony goes any further though to be honest. Burns would tee off on him all night if he cant take it up a gear.

Its too hard to know. I believe Frampton hits harder then Quigg and I dont think Quigg has a great chin. Quigg is probably faster and has better shot selections.

Quigg has had 10 fights more then Frampton so I fully expect Frampton to be ahead of where Quigg is now after he has 26 fights.

The super bantomweight division in Britain is awesome at the minute with Frampton, Quigg and Galahad all looking class. Also expect Kal Yafai to come into the division at some stage as well as Jaime Mc Donnell.
