[btown32]

The U.K. Boxing Group and the British fans are very excited about the final match-up between Lloyd Honeyghan and Joe Calzaghe. Both fighters are young, up and coming heavyweights with a lot of good boxing skills and unlimited potential. Both boxers also had brilliant amateur careers, Honeyghan 43-5-0 (31), and Calzaghe 44-0-0 (32), though they never had the opportunity to meet until these finals. Honeyghan comes into the fight with a pro record of 7-0-0 (6). Calzaghe comes into the fight with a pro record of 8-0-0 (7).

Good 1st round as both men work from the inside. “The Nightmare” scores with the better punches, 14-9. These big heavyweights are putting on a show and their work rate is extremely high for the beginning of a fight, 16-11, here in the 2nd round.

Arreola tries to follow up in the fourth, 10-8, but Herelius seems to have recovered from the last rounds knockdown. Arreola scores his second knockdown of the fight here with 1:11 left in the 5th. The ref is looking carefully, as Herelius has taken a beating, 29-5, so far in the the 5th. Herelius is allowed to continue. Arreola knocks Herelius down for the 3rd time of the fight with 1:59 left in the 7th. The Frenchman gets up again even though he looks spent. Arreola takes another round, 20-4. Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola comes to France and finally finishes the fight with another knockdown in the 8th. The fight is over at the 1:10 mark of the 8th as Herelius is unable to get up from his 4th trip to the canvas.

He has to stop getting hit with 50% of the punches

[btown32]

Yeah, nice win though, especially since he had to fight in France. Blocking punches with the face is not a good idea!

#5 Joe "The Pride of Wales" Calzaghe (TKO12) #6 Lloyd "Ragamuffin Man" Honeyghan

** Calzaghe had a point taken away from in the 3rd round for a low blow. He was warned for two more fouls. Honeyghan knocked Calzaghe down at the end of the 8th but didnt have time to do anymore damage because the bell rang as Calzaghe got up. Honeyghan was cut in the 11th. Calzaghe put Honeyghan down twice in the 12th. Referee Padilla stepped in and stopped the fight at the 2:00 mark in the 12th.

[Romdawg88]

Damn, I was hoping that Honeyghan would take the fight. That was the first loss suffered by a forumite managed fighter wasn't it?

Actually, it was the 2nd. Aztec Promotions (Javier) and Julio Cesar Chavez had an unfortunate loss to Eusebio Hernandez Jr.
