Anybody interested in the boxing tonight ??

Smith vs Christopher Rebrasse - Standup European without a punch....21% kayo rate.....Lost a shutout to Groves..

Fielding vs Brian Vera - 23 - 9...Lost his last three fights...

Those are the competitive fights.......

Murray v Stiff

Bellew v Even bigger stiff...........

Thanks but no thanks..............

Ill watch it as there is sod all on at that time tonight but the card is rubbish i love how sky are hyping Vera up hilarious

Unfortunately the missus is in charge tonight so i'll be taping it too watch later. Have found myself seriously underwhelmed by the cards on offer lately (Best card was the Brook PPV but got that for the other fights rather than the main event)

Just hope it's better than the last one from Brum, that seriously sapped my goodwill bigtime.

I'll watch it Truss (as I watch most boxing shows) but its a dreadful card yet again from Matchroom who have put on shockers all year round but can get away with it as they have a free pass from Sky.
Sick of hearing about the mega potential these guys have - if they are that good lets see them stepped up. Why Smith hasn't faced Fielding yet is befuddling.

Cheers, Rodders

Matchroom has definitely gone downhill recently. However I will most likely watch with a few Guinness. Pay day and all that!

I was meant to be going but I am unable to now and will have to watch it in the house with a few brandys.

Trussy would rather watch the soaps with Trusswoman...

The wee man will have to forget about baby tv tonight.

If one of the Brandy's is a tall blonde..

I'll be around later..Soldier.

Unforuntaley not

Just your typical Courvoisier. It will go down a treat though.

Brandy used to be my choice spirit. Made the heart go 90 the next morning.

Now I prefer good Irish Whisky, or a wee Morgans!

I do like a Whisky....but I prefer a nice Remy Martin

Good choice! I like a Bushmills whiskey myself!

Do you drink any lager or wine?

Not really a wino, drink larger but am a bit fussy if am having a drink in the house and I will get like Tiger, peroni sh|t like that haha. But I would just drink a pint of abything apart from carling when out.

Peroni is nice. Been to Italy a few times and got a taste for it over there.

I am a typical Irish lout. I also like my stouts!ha

The two headlines aren't so bad but the rest are weak.

The SMW bouts should give us an idea of where Smith and fielding are.

The only talk of drink I appreciate is 'who's buying?'.

I'll be watching but I think 'interested' is a bit of a stretch. Couldn't care less about Rocky or Bellew, be good to see where Callum is at now though.

Hype surrounding Callum Smith is laughable, resume full of duds. He gets schooled by DeGale and Groves would drill him. His only real hope of landing a title is facing the veteran Abraham. And obviously he'd get humiliated by Ward.

Been as bad as Birmingham and Newcastle cards so far.

Hope Smith and Fielding fights are at least entertaining because this is poor.

Bellew is a one paced plodder of a fighter.

He doesn't have this massive power he claims to.
Should have put this guy away within 3-4 rounds.

Should have stopped Cleverley after he decided to be a punchbag for 7-8 rounds last time out.

Agree with you about Bellew, Rob. He looks in rubbish nick as well. More shape on a soup sandwich!

Don't know where they found this opponent of his from. Poor.

Someone will have to talk me through that knockdown before the stoppage, he goes down and the guy at ringside starts counting, Rocky carries on punching and hits him at least twice more without so much as a warning

Still punching him while the count was at 5.

Good stoppage win for Rocky.

Never seen a more awkward human being than Ian John Lewis. What's his game?

Commentary saying it's ok because he got up as well

Vera will be upset about being hit when on his knees but did look like fielding was having his own way.

Good win but vera was there to be hit.

Ian John Lewis is an absolute liability.

Not sure what's happened to him but he's so indecisive and panicky that I'm concerned he's going to let someone get badly hurt soon.

IJL just can't get anything right. Did Vera no favours tonight but he's been equally guilty about waving fights off too quickly.

He's just incompetent.

You pull him down on the floor, punch him when he's on one knee... When he gets up to complain hit him again.

Just a typical night out in Liverpool.

Refereeing was poor but not sure that is news from IJL.

Well then. ....... every one just moaning about the stoppage

Milky, his girlfriend didn't jump on Vera's back.

It was scrappy. Vera covered up as he got up but then dropped his guard and turned. It was a bit odd but doesn't excuse IJL not calling break.

Nobodies moaning about the stoppage, moaning about what came before because while Rocky was controlling the right he hit him with a huge left hand while he should have been receiving a count.

Didn't see Groves-Rebrasse. How did he do against George? How much of a threat is he?

Hard to say really.
Groves was far from at the top of his game.

Was closer than you'd think but it was Groves first fight back after Wembley.

Rebrasse is a decent euro level/fringe world fighter and will be Smith's hardest fight so far. If Smith stops him it would be a surprise to me.

My bad.

That has actually happened to me many years ago in a full on bar room brawl. I was stopped on cuts by some psycho bitch with a very sharp handbag. If you think Scouse girls are scary,  a trip to Redcar will put it in context for you.

Your boy rocky looked good tonight soldier... Lousy refereeing just distracted from his win.

It's a mate of mine's birthday soon, I'll have to suggest a night in Redcar.... He likes women that are a challenge... Not sure he meant to his masculinity though.

He is a bit under rated, but the was the sharpest I've seen him.

Just catching up with the boxing now as my 2 year old son decided that nightime is not the best time to sleep....Just finished watching Bellew fight, don't see anything which makes thisguy a world champ at cruiser. Not even a 'luckypunch' because for all his bold statements he does not hit with the sort of power he claims.

Rebrasse is winning this for me.
4-3 after 7.

Level after 8.

Smith hurt him late on there it seemed.

I have it 5-3 for Smith

Smith up by 3 points after 10.

Seems to me that rebrasse isn't as awful as people Made out and groves win looks a lot better

I have Smith by 6 going into round 12. Did Smith take it up a level or did Rebrasse just fade do you reckon?

I've got that 116-111 to Smith.

Think Smith went up a gear and Rebrasse slowed from the endless body shots. His output dropped in the last 4 rounds and let Smith pull away.

Good fight that.

Whoever that judge was that didn't give Rebrasse a round needs a slap.

Disgraceful that.

Cards don't reflect what has been described here......

Agree with Rob that Smith showed why working the body is so important, he's a fantastic body puncher.

Paul Smith just implied Rebrasse was a journeyman...

Rebrasse would beat Paul Smith handily.
