UK Boxing - Bellew/McKenzie --- Burns/Cook --- Murray/Mitchell - Discussion Thread

[JazMerkin]

So pleased that I was wrong with my prediction. Fantastic from Mitchell. He looked to really be struggling in the 5th & I thought he would go, but he dug through it & stops his man. Great fight as well, actually erased my disgust at the previous outing.

Ok, after that fight, the obvious next question - where do you have Mitchell now in your all time top ten p4p? Above or below Henry Armstrong?

I don't know, how many 'ranked contenders' has he beaten now?

I'm not sure, but not enough of them have been in black and white for my liking.

I already know the result of this fight thanks to some knobhead friend who texted me from ringside & he's right Gavin looked in shit condition.

Ok now the result is clear, apparently the general consensus ringside was that Woodhouse won. Couldn't really gage from that highlights clip. McGuigan is right though. Gavin strikes me as someone who is determined to become like a new Errol Christie, in terms of talent wasted

An SD win over Woodhouse does not look good. Gavin looked in terrible shape. He is never a LWW. He is sliding badly lately. Not even giving the refs chance to jump in and give him a stoppage win.

I do hope that how good the Mitchell-Murray fight was doesn't mean that The Farce gets forgotten about. The suspicious betting patterns & how Cook seemed to turn his back into shots (he's grown up boxing, he knows how to avoid taking shots flush on the spine) are very suspicious.

Also have Frank Warren & Dave Parris had some major fall-out. That's two fights now (DeGale-Groves & Gavin-Woodhouse) where Parris has gone against the house guy in close fights. Something must be up.

This was at Welter. I've always been very sceptical about him. He's not come along as a pro in the same way guys like DeGale, Groves & Price have.

Lazy, his talent will only carry him so far. Like Mcguigan said could be a huge waste of talent he should be handling the likes of Woodhouse easier than that,happy for woodhouse though i think he was massively disrespected at the press conference.
