I think connely won this one, very one sided judging. I hate the fact that Sweeney is the only one that can extend his fingers and getting away with it. If his got his lead hand out with his fingers extended straight out it makes it hard to come in Incase you get taken out with a finger. Poor reffing.
Love Sweeney but this sure seemed like some judging bias in his favor on this one. I wish BKB adopted dirty boxing rules like the other bare knuckle promotions use.
No way did he win that ..not a chance ..there was some bad decision..from all the judges..connelly show him how to box ...what a rubbish result ..the best man lost !!
Connelly won that fight hands down! I agree there was Bias with the judges, Just like the rematch with Julian Lane and Sweeney, but when you watch the rematch, make sure you find the full fight not the edited one.
No,no,that was Connellys fight.The judges need to get their heads out of whoevers azz thier up and call the fight right.Connelly was robbed by the judges.RIGGED.
The forward hands is not bareknuckle. The showboating buzzkilled most of the fight. BKB needs some work, no clinch work def adds to the mid feel overall.
Both warriors! love both of their fights They both always spill blood. But to be honest I was shocked at the end. Personally, I don't know if Sweeney had it. I think it should have went the other way and they definitely have to fight again
I could tell these two guys had some decent boxing skills. Not like the horrible mismatches I've seen on some of the other BKB promotions just for the sake of having a fight card before their main fights make it to the ring.
They just can't accept that Sweeneys time has come and gone, bit sad really. No matter who he fights, the announcers only ever credit jimmy through the fight. " Jimmy this, Jimmy that." And even when they do, they still spin it to end up talking about Jimmy.
Throwing jabs all the time leaves you open for a defensive counter, either a right hook uppercut, etc. Like the guy above, you need to be smart and pick your fights wisely and strike at the right time.
R2 sweeny knew if he turned away thered be a timeout call.I didnt see no time out call when sweeny dirty ponched to bck of connelys head.Sweeny is a dirty fighter
What a disappointing result!!! But I think Connely should have done more in the last round. Sweeny remained the attacker. Connely was surely winning the fight in the early 3 to 4 rounds and then faded a bit.
This is what happens when a good bkb promotion starts looking at it from nothing more than a revenue point of view. They all know that sweeney is the main draw on this platform, and they didn't want their cashcow getting beat again even if it means having the best man lose on the night. Anyone with one eye could see he lost that fight.
We couldnt see that first Over Hand Right at 2:35 that supposedly " wobbled his legs " it was just off camera and didn't seem to unbalance him but then again if the hype of the second OHR straight after is anything to go by it didn't bother sweeney at all regardless of result because I do think he lost but theres definitely been a unbias in commentary towards sweeney as of late ???
Sweeney outbox team I mean the guy ran from him the guy who won the first two rounds but Sweeney's a way you know the guy wouldn't find him how can you say the guy want to fight he didn't want to fight
The ref let Sweeny use the eye poke defense for the entire fight. He should be sacked. Hands out fingers splayed the other fighter had to be very careful not to lose an eye. Rubbish. Total rubbish.
Lost respect for sweeney and the ref. Keeping your hands open with fingers pointing out at arms reach. It's not the game. Paused at round 2 and hope sweeney gets a lesson
They play favorites with Sweeney and he needs to close his fingers hes gonna eye poke someone. Where is barry jones he will beat the fucking shit out of both of them hes the king.
Connelly should of brought a mirror in with him im sure he think he looks great ,,but if he had put more i to boxing than looki g at himself he might of won it
