No way. Talipeau won that as far as I'm concerned.

10.20 tonight is the 'encore screening' (replay) on fox8
have you been to fox8 to watch the entire fight un-edited? Impossible to make a judgement based on the edited cuts they show during the program.
Either way i hade Jnr winning 3 rounds to 2. Dodgey decision to Victor who has already come out and publically apologised for the judges decision. Hardly his fault though, NSW boxing authority should be ashamed of themselves.
Sonni beats Pradeep on points, Kariz destroys Adrian via Ko. Felt sorry for Adrian, he was clearly well and truely outmatched.
Impressed with Kariz though. Still think Vic has what it takes to win this tourney though, after he got lucky with the decision against Junior.
also looks like McCulloch might be out with a neck injury. Could see the return of Junior!

Pradeep has the attributes but clearly his head is too focused on all that pressure he seems to have on him to be the first Indian pro (or whatever) and fulfill his families wishes.
Sonni is rubbish. Anyone who is left will beat him. Overhand rights landing the wrist into the neck of the other fella then rushing him with hay-makers... everyone who is left will smack the piss out of him with uppercuts.
Kariz and Adrian was a horrible match up. Experience aside I reckon Adrian gave up about 5" in height and reach. Kariz even said he didn't want to fight the 'kid' and he figured it would be less humiliating for him and his family to drop him early in the 2nd than drag out the punishment any longer.

I really hope Clenshaw wins the contender. Although he isn't the best fighter in the comp, he is a true blue aussie and a top bloke IMO. Has that aussie spirit and the skills to do well in this competition.

If Kariz could just focus on boxing and not get dragged into a brawl he would of finished Nader in the 3rd round I reckon. The one round where Kariz just boxed he put Nader on his arse. If he learns when to pull the trigger on that big right hand he will be deadly and a joy to watch fight. At the moment he's a bit loose with it, but the potential in this bloke is massive.
Speaking of brawls, next weeks ep looks like a heated one.

Its tough to call without seeing the whole fight, especially that one since I reckon the two supporter camps got more airtime than the two boxers. Without having seen the uncut fight, I'd reckon Kariz had him too.
Nader is a dipsh!t anyway. He preaches all his calm, respectful bullsh!t but practices none of it until after he's gone lost his head, and I don't think he ever even saw what a hypocrite he was when he was giving Pradeep a hard time after weeks of preaching peace, love and respect.
He seems to think he trains harder and better than anyone else and prays and does Ramadan and because he's fought with injuries in the past and has plenty of ticker that should be afforded some special right of passage. You could see it eating him up when he was comparing his strict diet (or lack of during Ramadan) to that of Clenshaw's 'meat pies and tinnies' approach - he was filthy that some pisspot Aussie was at the same place he was by doing pretty much the opposite to himself.

Kariz won that fight by a fair margin IMO, although it was edited. I think Kariz will end up winning this whole thing, but I really do hope Clenshaw wins it. Typical Aussie and a family man.

That was the most racial and bias display of commentating ive ever seen, it was all go the pretty white boy from the second the bell rang.
All he did was get a shot in, then tie it up, tie it up, tie it up over and over again.
If that right was real - scheduled for 12 rounds, the black fella would have won.

Kariz, never fired as many combos as he normally would. Seemed flat & Garth just kept on smothering him. Kariz just didn't look as if he was pumped for it.
Garth will go pretty well in Boxing with his style, Would be very frustrating for other boxers to handle the style that he uses. Very awkward fighter.
Will be interesting to see if the fight with Mundine will ever go ahead tho.
