Comments Thread For: Sunny Edwards Boxes Past Moruti Mthalane For Decision, Wins IBF Title

Yeah.. if you watched him in the ring he kinda shook his head when he heard that score, like he's thinking wtf? In fact he's grown on me some with this performance and the interview even though runners ain't generally my favourites. I still reckon JCM flattens him though...

Yeah, no doubt in my mind about the result of that one, if I'm Frank I'm looking at Dalakian as the guy I'd be trying to unify with

How does one judge have it seven rounds to five and another has it twelve rounds to zero? Strange, and I didn't see the fight, just saying.

Sunny deserved the win, but he’s horrible to watch. It would have been interesting to see what the reaction would have been if there had been a crowd watching him run from one corner to the next for 12 rounds.

Never watched it as they are both bums who I could beat at the same time, but one judge says 12-0, and another says 7-5! Quite a difference. One says one sided beat down, and another says it could have went either way.

Really good win for Edwards. I was rooting for Mthalane but credit to Edwards as he applied his game plan really well.

Mthalane couldn't cut the ring off or land his shots, and even when he did Edwards took it well.

Agreed I picked Mthalane to win as I saw nothing special in Edwards but he controlled that fight and made him look wild at times his footwork is what won it for him he's not a a crowd pleaser that's for sure but he did win it fair and square no complaints. I do wonder though how much that long layoff played into for Moruti considering he is up there in age but he seemed in shape just couldn't pull the trigger.

Looking at Edwards in his corner between rounds, I think that’s a good bet

By now I'm old enough to realize that something's not working midway through a fight I have bet on...

Edwards' running was shameful. That's not "hit and not be hit", that's "slap once or twice and run for the whole round". Disgusting.

Tatabanya. Totally agree. I tried to watch the whole fight but was bored out of my mind with Edwards garbage "style". He will get destroyed by the top guys in the division who aren't 100 years old.

You know, with that "style" he might even win some more. Just run like f-u-c-k for 12 rounds, and you're all set.

They should name him Sunny "The Hare" Edwards.

I just figured he was going to get caught. 2 years without a fight was too much. Even his corner was telling him to run.
