Well that didn't last long. Poor McDonnell got destroyed in 1 minute and 50 seconds.
Inoue is frightening, but McDonnell looked like he was dangerously dehydrated to make the weight.
edit- apparently he put on 26lbs after the weigh in, wtaf.
The state of Mason Cartwright after his fight on Saturday, ow! You wouldn't fancy a packet of salt and vinegar crisps after that lot haha!
Warning- very graphic and gory
I thought Jack had won it too, but it's hard to argue with the result as there were so many close rounds.
Great fight though wasn't it- I thought Jack was going to take Stevenson out for a while, but his pimp hand came back just in time to save him.
Yes, I have heard a lot of similar chat to this effect. I wouldn't fancy being a steward/ security up there on Saturday haha.
Hope you have a good night mate.
Selby will win this fight.
Warrington has little power and Selby is by a country mile the superior boxer. It might be an unedifying spectacle though tbh.
Absolutely stunning. He just moved up another gear in the tenth- after getting up off the canvas too. What a body shot. I agree though, that's as big as he can go.
We have to start talking about Loma in terms of the best boxers ever now imo- and after 12 pro fights! It's a bit like Messi in football, we're just lucky to be watching this level of boxing.
In all fairness I thought Hughie looked a different class to Sexton. His footwork was excellent and he looked a lot more aggresive than in his last few fights.
Possibly his best performance, albeit against limited opposition.
Dark Trade is from the nineties and features Tyson, Ali, Bruno,Eubank, Benn, Watson, ODLH, Naz and prominently James Toney, it's really great.
A Man's World is about Emile Griffith, the flamboyantly gay 60s boxer who killed Benny Paret in the ring.
McRae is a great boxing writer. Have you read Dark Trade Owl? It's the best book ever written on boxing imo. A Man's World is also fantastic.
Not long until Hughie for those with insomnia.
He's bang on the gak already getting warmed up @Super haha!
edit- just checked and it's on ESPN in the States, so you're safe as Paulie is on Showtime mate, call off the snakes hahaha
also a 0200 ringwalk apparently...
