Daws-Cook Sky Tonight

[Fenster]

(where's the Brit board )


I think Cook has a good punchers chance for the first 4-5 rounds... beyond that Daws will out stay him and stop him.

Who thinks Cook has no chance? Come on, you can save me some money.

I just see a Cook KO/TKO round 5,6,7 cant see anything else happening

[skel1983]

My money is on a comfortable Daws UD win.

[Kirkland Laing]

I think Daws wins but I'd love to see Cook get a result.

Saw the result on boxrec, what did you guys think of the fight, I missed it (at work)

Cook hurt Daws in round quite bad and won the second. Through 8 I had it even since Daws was outpointing Cook. then Daws just swept the last 4 easily . i had it 116-112. A draw is a bad decision imo but not a robbery

It played out how most thought it would, Cook the older more powerful guy coming out strong for the first third of the fight, then fading in the later stages.

I had Daws winning 115-113, Draw I think was a bit dodgy not the worst decision ever but I thought Daws won it and if I'm truthful I was giving the closer rounds to Cook.

[killersheep]

Do you think they'll go at it again to clear up the record?

[skel1983]

Possibly, but i'm not sure as the 140 division in the Uk Is quite stacked at the moment, but If I was Daws id want to clear it up and beat him next time.

These British fights are killing me on the prediction contest. They're just impossible to pick this year.

I know. They always involve people I've never heard of and it seems like the most unlikely stoppages occurs. I can't count how many times I've looked at a guys record, seen he has a low KO% only to find out he's somehow stopped his opponent.

[OumaFan]

Well I rarely in the past few seasons have known who the guys are really but you can usually boxrec warrior you're way to some decent picks. But not this year. Napa losing. That guy Booth last week getting a stoppage when he should have just won by UD. Now this draw, ugh, just awful. First it was imperialism, then James Blunt, now this.

What you've got to consider is although the % might be low, there aren't that many fighters in the UK who fight regularly at 10 and 12 rounds, so it's an idea to see how many 4 & 6 rounders are in that low KO % record.

As for the fight itself, I really was hoping for Cookie to find a bingo punch, as I also though that Daws was going to win the fight, but a draw was a very creditable result for him, and vindication for his comeback. I wouldn't mind seeing them go at it again, and as Cookie gets more rounds under his belt, he might still have a chance, but I think Daws would get the result again.

I try to do that, but sometimes it just blows up in my face. There also seem to be a large number of domestic fights that end up much more competitive than they should just based on the records of the fighters involved. Again, I imagine this is do to my lack of familiarity with the fighters involved

I think even Cook thought he should have lost the fight.
