I always thought Moore would get destroyed if he fought Martinez, but he fought stupidly in the 7th round. He showed a lot of heart to get up, seemed to get himself back into it & then for no apparent reason stuck his chin out to get taken.
I thought Rhodes was shit, tbh I still think it, but he showed heart after the Anthony Small debacle. He did well to take Moore's shots still. I personally feel that Moore lost this by fighting recklessly & as if he's got a chin like Librado Andrade, rather than Rhodes winning because he's a better fighter. Still Rhodes is with Hayemaker so at least if he gets a title shot it will be on TV over here![]()
Excellent fight, just watched it then, filled with lots of drama. The last round should be one of the top rounds of the year
one dangerous horrible bloke
British FOTY so far no doubt
Great fight and also a very good night of boxing overall from SKY TV.
Balls

I thought Rhodes would get stopped the way he was standing and mixing it with Moore early. However he was not that affected by Mo-ores punches and pressure the longer the fight went on. Moore probably has had too much wars, because he seem to tire and fade very quickly. Credit to Rhodes for hanging on in there.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I don't know abouth that I thought after the 4th round the writing looked on the wall for Jamie Moore, he just looked to have nothing left.
Never really thought he that good to be honest, just a decent domestic fighter on a par with John Thaxton.
I think generally most of our domestic fighters are pretty mediocre.
Kell Brook and Nathan Cleverly have real potential, there are no other future world champions out there in the immediate future for us though.
Too early to say about the Olympians of course.
I know what you mean. Rhodes seem to take the 5th comfortably and I thought Moore got tagged way too much. He seemed too intent to impose his style. Rhodes chin at 11st was pretty phenomenal. I was impressed with how he just kept his calm and took over.
As for our domestic fighters, I agree with your two picks. I feel Brook is nailed on for superstardom though.
Where can I see this? my usual places commiing up empty...
i thought the stoppage was early..he could have let it go a few seconds more.

On youtube thats where i've been catching up, on the boxing i missed over the last few months. Thanks for the thread Skel i forgot all about Jamie Moore, it was a great fight the last 2 rounds were ROTY cadidates, who would of thought Ryan Rhodes would of beat Jamie Moore at his own game ?
Cleverly, Brook, Mitchell, McCloskey, Walsh, Dickinson, Macklin, Barker. Murray, Khan, Moore, Lindsay, Munroe...the Brits are coming baby!! Hidden Content Hidden Content
