Comments Thread For: Leigh Wood Shocks Xu Can, Stops Him in Twelfth For WBA Title

[I have no ears]

I’ve got to reluctantly give Davison some credit too. Good gameplan.

Haha, it's funny reading these and hearing ppl hate on him, then slowly realise he actually knows what he's doing... Most ppl hate him just cos of how he acts and not for his boxing knowledge or what they perceive as his lack of, but more that he just rubs ppl up the wrong way, I've been saying this for over a year now though, he's a good trainer, and honestly knows his s**t, u were a good sport though to admit he did a good job tonight, most would have just carried on hating for the sake of it and not even acknowledged the job done, so well done sir, I totally get why u don't like him though, he comes across as a bit of a prick I'm not gonna lie

So true, Andy Lee basically said the same thing after the fight, to quote Andy Lee "Fantastic win for Leigh Wood and I think it's fair to say this will really hit the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping really hard. Wood might've just won a world title and changed the political outlook across the world tonight" - I was impressed, didn't get that kinda insight from Adam Smith and Macklin!

In interviews, Andy always came off as decent guy with alot well thought out opinions. I rather enjoy his commentary.

Wow that's great, didn't know Andy said that :-) Andy Lee true patriot

Fantistic Leigh wood, wot a win! Nice to win one over China, the commies in power in the uk (boris and his pals) will be well pissed off with this result, they will be all getting integrated as to why this was allowed to happen. It's sad that the government of the uk is actively at war with its own population.
Wake up people before its too late.

Boxercise Ben strikes again.

great instructions throughout the fight to be fair.

probably time he starts getting some credit. Fighters who have forgotten more than we know and could’ve picked anyone as trainers have worked with him before, so that probably says something.

You're not wrong, when it was just BJS and Fury that was one thing, then he is showing up in Devin Haney's corner, a week after Josh Taylor wins undisputed, as you note, these guys aren't mugs and they seem to be winning a lot.
Pretty crazy for someone his age with no personal experience.

Hearn must of cum in his pants at that result...

All he needs now is a big Warrington win and we have our all British unification Christmas cr4cker!!

(Lol why is cr4cker spelt properly made into *******!?!?)

I listened to him when he was on the mic on the last BTsports broadcast and he actually has a very solid understanding of boxing. But he is so full of it lol.

Yeah I think he’s so conceited, despite being in the infancy of his career, without serving a proper apprenticeship, it winds me up tbh, he talks like he’s Manny Steward on HBO.

He did a good job tonight though, I’ll always give credit where it’s due.

You're usually on point mate, I was surprised when you were so pro Xu no worries, I thought Yildrim would overwhelm Cullen eventually but it didn't happen. Good night for the Brits against the international fighters tonight, something that hasn't happened a lot in the last year or so, good on 'em

I backed Yildirim on points myself.

It happens to us all, I’ve been badly wrong before and I’ll more than likely be badly wrong again.

Great performance and massive win for Wood. I picked Can Xu via UD. I had it Wood winning by 2 rounds by the time of stoppage. I want to see Wood aganist Leo next. If not, Leo should be stripped of his title because he didn't defend that title in a long time.
