Surprisingly, Neil lays down an old fashioned beating
on a perpetually, tied up, and off balance... Boulton.

How about that Neuber-Murray fight?
What'd I tell you.

This may have been retribution on Boulton's part for the end of period heavy hit delivered on Bryce Salvador by Neil that went unanswered. But Neil took him rather easily, making me wonder if Boults is still affected by his hand injury or maybe he has just lost it altogether.

That was a ring a ding dong dandy as the late Ed Whalen would say.

Best line all season by The DZA, "Erection through a hole in the bottom of a popcorn box". I just about pissed myself reading that one.

Boulton is not up to snuff and Neil takes the win in a really good one

Happy new year everyone !
I expected more from Boulton,
Neil was in better control in this one, he got a few good ones in ( especially some uppercuts ).
Boulton has got to do do better with middle weights like Neil...his career depends on it and has little margin for error now.

Fantastic scrap. If you're Eric Boulton, rather than continually trying to wrap up Neil's right arm (it wasn't working), wouldn't you throw lefty and make Neil try to tie up your arm?

Well this was ALLLLL Neil....He just plain ol out gunned Boulton!!!!

Boulton just could not get his bearings in this bout. Neil with the early bombs and a few telling uppercuts. Boulton with a couple bombs about 70% of the way through before Neil takes over again. Haven't seen the little guy tear up like this in a while.

Good bout by two good fighters, Neil had the upper hand in this one, ouch.

Love both these guys, Neil avec le gagne, est T!! Pumping the crowd up (and his team) is never a bad thing after a great fight!! At home games it is also saying thank you to the crowd for their appreciation of the toughest part of the job...

Neil beating Boulton.

Erection through a hole in the bottom of a popcorn box.

Both great ways to start a new year.

Pretty evenly matched combatants resulting in a great toe to toe bout. Neil did surprisingly well trading punches, usually he is more of an in-fighter.

good tilt neil wins

Posted by FHgrad99 on Jan 3, 2012 at 5:32 PM agree

Not a bad first fight of 2012. Both guys were letting them fly but Neil was landing the better punches. He gets the win and I gave it a 7.
