[JFT96]

Interested to see how you scores the two fights given we had the odd situation of 2 draws in the main events last night. Personally from the stands, I had Mathews up by a couple of rounds and thought he just outworked Crolla overall even though the better quality came from the Mancunian.

I had Chilemba 2 up too but honestly, I don't think either man can grumble at the draw. Chilemba did a nice job defensively and was stronger in the second half of the fight but the first six rounds were so short of action that you'd be justified in giving them as a draw or to either man. I don't think both won any of the first six clearly and rather than moan about the judge, they should be kicking themselves for not imposing themselves more on the fight.

Didn't score either properly (wish I did now with the controversy for both) but I felt Mathews just edged out Crolla and Chilemba comfortably outboxed Bellew.

If you add the draw to Bellew's total then he still 27 votes behind (soz for maths lesson). Will be interesting if/when FightCollector collects totals from around the media & web.

Looks like 115-113 Chilemba is the most common card, from just browsing some threads.

115-113 Chilemba, close but clear win.

114-113 Crolla, was extremely close though.

 

[Grant]

Chilemba by 2 and Matthews by 1.

I had Crolla-Matthews a draw. Had Derry 6-2 after 8 and Crolla sweeped the rest.

RE Chilemba-Bellew, I had Isaac 1 or 2 ahead but had no real complaints with a Bellew win or even a draw. Bellew started strong and Chilemba outboxed him in rounds 6 to 7, but other than that it was scrappy tit-for-tat. Haven't heard the apparently terrible Sky commentary but I would take just as much issue with the idea that Chilemba dominated. Apart from the aformentioned rounds 6/7 there wasn't any assertiveness in his boxing. He stopped Tony landing cleanly often but offered little in return.
