I'm goin with Wood UD, pretty even match with Leigh having the home advantage and Mick just never living up to his hype. He is solid just not spectacular nor is Wood but he does have the belt.
What a great fight, i had Conlon 3 rounds up going into the last round, a far better boxer whilst Wood looked like he was the naturally bigger man and he relied on his size and power in the end.
All 3 judges got their scoring totally wrong in the Taylor vs Catterall fight not just IJL.
The so-called punishment of IJL being downgraded does not fit the magnitude of "the crime", and no doubt IJL will be upgraded again at the next board meeting when the eyes of the boxing world are on something else.
The least the BBBofC could have done was to suspend all 3 judges and have them go through retraining, while declaring the fight a no contest would at least mean Jack didn't have an undeserved loss on his record.
There is enough there to keep me amused for the weekend, never know when a fight will break out on any card. Maybe the judges will be a little more sharp this weekend along with the refs whenever they are not in the conversation after a fight it is a good thing. It really is just a dif more expensive version of FNFs or Tuesday night fights or whatever night fights. You can not stop fight cards from showing up and that is a good thing. thanks for the write up weights and the mention of the loss of a fighter who was in the ring with some great talent at a time when Talent was what mattered the most.
