Josh Warrington vs Kid Galahad

Hopefully Warrington beats the drugs cheat........



Belter already.

 

He’s not so far.

 

Galahad should win this but somehow Warrington is 1/7 so he will retain.

 

Puzzled how any professional judge had Warrington 116-113.

Barry was the clear winner for me. Made him miss all night. However I can get the argument he maybe didn't do enough to steal away the title by holding and making the fight scrappy. but for the judge to have Josh dominate like that is an absolute joke.

Again in boxing the ticket seller gets the decision. Laughable. I feel for Galahad after that.

 

Can’t put it any better.

I thought it was a tough and boring watch. I’d have said a draw was about right. Neither look world level. Warrington is aggressive but has zero power. Barry has the skills but won’t let his hands go.

Only another four hours until the king hits Vegas.

 

Galahad did a lot of holding but still should have comfortably got the points decision. We have known for many years how bad judging can be in fights though, so the champion with the punching power of Paulie Malignaggi got the home decision.

 

I'm going to have to squeeze an hours kip in before this one. The big man has to put a show on tonight and stop Schwarz considering what has gone on in the heavyweight division in the past month. But I've got a feeling Schwarz will give up and rob Tyson of the chance of a clean knock out, Fury wont give any respect to Schwarz punch power so hopefully that will lead Schwarz to let his hands go and we might get some kind of spectacle from the big man.

I've only seen Schwarz fight once and it was some show, against Gashi. It was the first time I had seen a boxer roll around on the floor like Neymar, honestly was pathetic. Then after the fight when Gashi got disqualified there were a brawl in the centre of the ring. TV gold

I don't know why but I always get nervous before a Fury fight, even on nights like tonight when he's all but guaranteed a win.

 

I was going to object to the comparison to Elvis but then I realise they're both fat, drugged out, and proficient in an art form perfected by black men.

 

I’ll watch it again sober tomorrow but it felt like Galahad didn’t take advantage from making Warrington miss as much as he should’ve done & it was close enough to go either way & when that’s the case in front of 10,000 fans cheering your opponents shots then you can’t really argue if he narrowly gets the verdict.

 

Not bad on the mic either.

 

I saw the Gashi fight, and it was a spectacle.

Senad was definitely pushing the boundaries, but you're right, the reactions from Schwarz were pretty embarrassing. Gashi looked on top when he wasn't being an idiot, so it wasn't a good look for Tom.

I've enjoyed his demeanour and chat though this week, and he literally has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Ruiz showed a couple of weeks ago that at heavyweight it's never cut and shut. But you have to fancy Fury by stoppage.

I'm biased and love the bloke, but he's the best heavyweight fighter this country has produced since Lewis. And Lennox for me is top five at that weight. And got sparked twice.

You never know..

 

The undercard was awful. The scorecards were an absolute joke.

Really felt for Kid, he fought a smooth game plan. Disappointed but not surprised.
