The Degale/eubank Jr Match

[albaqwerty]

well, I usually like watching a decent bout, but this, to me, wasn't one of those.
Close scoring, but not a good match to watch imo.

Shame really, as it promised so much but failed to deliver

[Butterbun]

Who won?

Butterbun, unanimous decision, Eubank jnr, even after one point was deducted.
Sometimes I felt it was a bit like watching mixed martial arts :D

Thanks Balders, I knew it was on the radio, but managed to watch it, which was a nice change for me

A miss match then, alba.

[albaqwerty]

I reckon so, our kid.
Looking forward to the heavyweights - AJ fighting who?
cor, whichever could be an interesting watch.

I ain't blood-thirsty, but I like watching some pugilists go at it, might be an idea for some politicians?? :-)))

The only pugilist I couldn't watch was the younger Alba and that was just a charity bout.

[Butterbun]

I didn't see or hear the match, but am surprised, gobsmacked even. Good on him though after all the doubters had their say.

[Butterbun]

Thanks for the link Baldric.

Butterbun, apparently even his own dad didn't truly believe he would win.
Alba; too much of a grudge match to be a classic, imho. All those expecting a classic in the Liverpool/United game tomorrow may be in for a disappointment, too.

[albaqwerty]

Butterbun, the next time you hear of a bout coming up, tune into Talksport on a Saturday night, their coverage is pretty good.

Ken, I forgot about that footie match tomorrow. Am not a footie fan, but was hoping it might be a good game of footie with skill shown from both sides - or am I just being optimistic?

[Butterbun]

Thanks alba, have made a note of it.
Ken, his dad will be very pleased even if he has to eat his words.

[Ken4155]

There's obviously reason for optimism, Alba, given the quality of both sides and there have been classic matches between the two. However, there have also been 2 rather drab 0-0 draws in recent times, albeit both at Anfield where United more or less 'parked the bus'. This is really a 'must win' for Liverpool just as Spurs' visit to Turf Moor was yesterday. And we all know what happened here, don't we :-) :-) :-)
