Crocker vs. Ilbay

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Ilbay vs. Crocker
Lewis Crocker, DEC
COME ON LEWIS!!!!! DO IT FOR BRITAIN!!!!!

Kotochigov vs. Cully
Gary Cully, DEC
When I think of Gary Cully, I immediately think of his 1st round demolition of the then 10-0-0 Joe Fitzpatrick. This one will be his toughest test yet but I've got confidence in his ability to pull off what I think will be a VERY hard fought win.

Dujon vs. Fail
Carl Fail, DEC
I'll go with the guy with a lot of amateur experience rather than the one that's out-boxed 4 journeymen.

Don't think this is available for US, think its on ESPN + for you guys. 
But for everyone else,

Thanks @Mikey1903, I'm looking forward to it!

Ilbay vs. Crocker
Lewis Crocker, DEC
Wow these are close fights

Kotochigov vs. Cully
Gary Cully, DEC
I'm gonna feel really stupid picking against a boxer from Kazakhstan if this doesn't work out.

@Fisty I picked Cully too, but II completely agree. It's always tough to bet against a fighter from Kazakhstan.

Especially when Cully got put on his ass by a 9-5 journeyman last time out!
If he can't handle journeyman power how do you think he'll deal with Kazakh POWER??!
Not well me thinks

Not expecting an exciting card tonight Stephen??? Ha

Jeez, I hope you're wrong with your predictions or I'll be better off not watching!!! 

i picked Kotochigov 🤔

@Mikey1903

I hope I'm wrong too (with the methods anyway, hopefully the picks themselves are right) but I'm still expecting the last 4 fights to be good competitive fights that both guys have a chance in. The first two I'd expect to be typical "prospect outboxes the journeyman but the journeyman is too tough to be stopped" type fights but the others should be good watches!

Unfortunately, due to work restrictions, I missed my opportunity to make predictions for this evening's MTK Global Pro Boxing Event which is scheduled to take place at the Bolton White's Hotel, Lancashire, England... However, I need to raise a prediction thread just to feel involved with the Tapology Family...

First point of the night... Carl Fail is making his Professional Boxing Debut this evening in a 6 Round bout against Barnet, London resident Jordan Dujon who is Unbeaten in 4 fights... Jordan has fought 4 Journeyman in those 4 fights who have a combined Professional Boxing Record of 14 Wins, 216 Losses, 11 Draws... In May 2016, as an Amateur, Carl Fail who was approximately 20 Years of age, beat Ekow Essuman (look him up on Boxrec) for the English National Elite 69Kg Championship... All 4 journeymen Boxers have took Jordan Dujon the distance, which ultimately means he has no spite/power in his punches... It also means he his more of a Boxer than a Puncher... The bout is scheduled to take place at the Super Welterweight limit (Light Middleweight to us old school) 154Lbs or 11 Stone limit... Jordan Dujon is ranked by Boxrec at 701 out of 1658 currently active Super Welterweight Professional Boxers Worldwide and Carl Fail, who is making his debut at 24 Years of age, after an extensive and successful Amateur run is to fight Jordan over a 6 Round Distance... In Order to give Carl Fail every chance of a giant leap up the Worldwide Rankings within the Super Welterweight Division because his management team want to fast track him... Anything can happen in Sport and especially in the Sport of Boxing and I appreciate that... However, as a prediction analyst of Boxing bouts for many many years, I predict that unfortunately 76% of the Tapology Members who predicted Dujon to Win will Fail (See what I did there) 🤔🤣

Prediction: Carl Fail to beat Jordan Dujon probably on Points over 6, but possibly by late Stoppage, depending on Jordan's overall durability, so could be over in 5 or 6 🤔🤑🧐🥊👊💯👍

@JayHyde3858

I'm guessing that the guys who picked Dujon to win have simply made the mistake of putting debutants in the same category as journeymen without looking at Fail's amateur record. Or maybe they just didn't feel comfortable picking a guy who is literally called Fail lol!

Stephen, as Mikey informs the Tapology Members every week, Boxing is the Sweet Science an art form of fighting if you will, Not MMA... How match ups are made is totally different as it is not really to do with overall experience when Fighters are initially starting out... When they are starting out it is about padding records and gaining experience against different types of Fighters, whilst remaining undefeated, gradually looking more and more impressive, getting the Rounds in initially if necessary, but adding as many KO's and TKO's to your ledger as possible and moving steadily up the Rankings, but at a pace at the same time... Jordan Dujon has been hand picked for a reason this evening and the reason is Carl Fail wants to test his credentials in a proper debut fight against a fighter who will be looking to protect his 0 and at least go the distance if at all possible... I expect Carl Fail to school Jordan Dujon and I'll be highly surprised if that is Not the case 🤔🤑🧐🤞🥊👊💯👍

Further Predictions 

Mace Ruegg to beat Levi Dunn on Points or by a late Round 5/6 Stoppage depending on Dunn's durability over 6 completed Rounds

Jordan Reynolds who was a very good Amateur Boxer to beat tough, rugged journeyman Robbie Chapman on Reynolds Pro Boxing Debut on points 

🤔🤑🧐🥊👊🤞💯👍

@JayHyde3858

That's exactly how I'm expecting this to play out as well. It would certainly be a statement win if Dujon did pull off an upset though.

I would like to see Issac Lowe show to the Boxing fraternity his Contender level World status this evening and in doing so Stop the usually durable Ed Harrison, who is a naturally bigger guy and usually fights at Super Featherweight, whereas Issac is a predominant Featherweight fighter... If Issac is truly a World level operator, he really could do with Stopping Harrison inside the distance to prove his worth... Therefore I am going to predict a Round 5 Stoppage Victory for Issac Lowe, but in stating this prediction, I wouldn't be overly surprised if Issac wishes to simply get the Rounds in and bag himself a comfortable Unanimous Decision 60 - 54 Points victory, as that is how Boxing works... Come on Issac, bring on the Entertainment to us, your TV Boxing Public 🤔🧐🤑🤞💯🥊👊👍

i can't find a way to watch here in the states .. who has won so far? 

Jordan Reynolds has beaten Robbie Chapman via a Unanimous 60 - 54 Points Decision on his Professional Boxing debut 🥊🥊👊👊👍

Next up Mace Ruegg Vs Levi Dunn... I think they are fighting now 🤔🧐🥊👊👍

thanks mate @JayHyde3858
