Campbells got him, clearly.

BoyBrumby · 11-08-2012, 02:07 PM

Yeah, fair decision, IMHO.

Already got his nickname all sorted out for the pro career: "Cool Hand" Luke Campbell.

flibbertyjibber · 11-08-2012, 02:16 PM

Good fight and a great result. Clearly won it.

BoyBrumby · 11-08-2012, 02:41 PM

Been a really good tear up between the Cuban and the Ukranian in the light-welter final.

The smarter work from the Cuban, but Berinchyk was a machine; fought the whole bout on the front foot.

Yea I've mentioned that before, it should be worth more like 3 or 5 points. Generally if you clearly win a round you win it by that sort of margin and that's the sort of effect it should have.

Knockdowns should be worth at least 3 points, but they need to be genuine knockdowns. Some of the refereeing has been odd for me

Can always introduce taekwando style reviews for knockdowns.

Scaly piscine · 12-08-2012, 07:28 AM

Is Evans actually trying to win this?

Doing jack ****.

BoyBrumby · 12-08-2012, 07:29 AM

Fred Evans having his arse handed to him in the welter final. 10-5 behind going into the last.

Have a ****ing go, son!!!

Scaly piscine · 12-08-2012, 07:30 AM

Counted 15 seconds there without throwing a single punch and he's 5 points down. ****wit. Just **** off if you aren't going to even try to win.

benchmark00 · 12-08-2012, 07:32 AM

He's a hungry young fighter.

Scaly piscine · 12-08-2012, 07:33 AM

Absolutely pathetic. Try throwing a ****ing punch next time.

BoyBrumby · 12-08-2012, 07:35 AM

Yeah, very disappointing effort. Outclassed, you'd say.

Credit to the Kazahk tho, different gravy.

flibbertyjibber · 12-08-2012, 07:50 AM

Outclassed totally and a bit of a shambolic effort. Almost as bad as Ronald McDonald's commentary.

Scaly piscine · 12-08-2012, 08:30 AM

Baffled by how the Italian won that round by 2 points. But still another guy who isn't throwing enough punches.
