Mofo2 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Cardiff’s Gary Buckland lost his British super-featherweight title to Liverpudlian Stephen Smith. Buckland had never fought in his home city before and was chasing the Lonsdale Belt upright. But he was knocked spark out by a short right-upper cut in the fifth round and needed oxygen in the ring before getting back on his feet after several worrying minutes.Get in there Stephen laddddd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slayer Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 Get stuffed Moffy! Buckland sure walked into one...he didn't look in best form from the start. The layoff sure hurt him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Martinez...but Rocky's not unbeatable for Smith I guess. Doubt he can beat the others. He was getting nailed by Buckland's left way too much. Lucky for him Gary's not a puncher.

If Selby starched him, other world class guys will too. He better stick to Euro level guys and not too good ones either. Not that there are so many in that division right now.

That fucking Saucedo! He was supposed to fight Gary but backed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
