Inverdale always does that before fights. he says .....was it a mismatch...or would it go the distance..
I wish he`d stop giving the mtch result away!

About half an hour before the fight I considered doing an online bet because Clinton was the underdog... but I just didn't think he'd have the heart, he seems too nice (he seemed a little ****y afterwards actually)

But though Hoye was the aggressor Clinton was controlling 90% of the fight.

Rico Hoye lost 11 of 12 rounds to Montell Griffin the way I saw it. I'm glad he wasn't rewarded with a title belt. Although - Clinton Woods? Looks like there's a new favorite for Roy Jones Jr's comeback fight...

hahaha yeah thatguy gave the haye fight away.
and kelly was a joke.

hoye didnt win or draw any rd against woods IMO

and when i saw em nose to nose before it started i thought
hoye ko in rd7. woods really handed him his ass.

and yeah woods-jones II would sell me thinks.

especially if the winner gets johnson (or tarver)

So Clinton Woods is the new IBF champion of the world, eh? Sure, he'll never be the most stylistic or intuitive of fighters, but he was on good form tonight, expertly counterpunching and knocking Hoye's head back continually.

I thought the commentating team were a little biased and would have given Hoye two out of five rounds... though as the ref took two points off for low blows then it put Woods up three points anyway.

What was the funniest face - Clinton's when TWICE he was on the verge of KOing Hoye, only for the OTT ref to step in and break it up and lecture Hoye about low blows? Or Steve Bunce, who didn't seem to give a damn about Joe Calzaghe's phone in?

Meanwhile, Haye's low-output one-and-a-half round KO of Kelly was given away somewhat by John Inverdale. "It was a test on paper, but did it prove to be that way...?" Why not just tell us who won, John?

Still, two good fights. Clinton's a nice guy, he deserves it. And he was competitive against Johnson, so who knows...?

That was the best i've ever seen woods, he totally took Hoye apart and there was no way Hoye won any rounds in my book.

I'd like to see him take on Calzaghe, i'm sure the money would be good for woods. I presume that would be on Sky and not BBC?

before the fight i thought hoye would knock woods out, despite living less than an hour away from his home city i've never rated him much. but credit where it's due, he was very good last night and despite the best efforts of the ref it was a good fight. well done clinton. on the subject of david haye, the punches that knocked kelly out were quality shots (no chicken dance this time glen) but if he keeps holding his left hand down by his waist he'll go knowhere. and the BBC team suck. woodhall is a better commentator than he was a fighter but the rest suck ass.

I was thinking about that... that's the most comprehensive defeat Woods has ever had (the only time he's ever been stopped).

But nowadays you'd have to give him a chance, wouldn't you?

Hahaha! that was funny!

I obviously wasn't the only one who thought Calzaghe sounded like a boring old twat. If he does get to fight Woods, I'll certainly be preying Clinton puts an end to the joke that is Joe Calzaghe.
