:lol:

Won the last six rounds with two 10-8s. Somehow it's a draw. Never change, boxing.
 
Biggest farce of a sport on the planet this slop.

People talking about Ngannou or YouTubers coming in and diluting its value :lol:

What value?
It’s a joke. My missus, who has no real interest in sport, has stormed off in disgust.

“his backyard” :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Pathetic scoring. What’s the point for these boxers with so much dedication then getting robbed
 
If Ngannou manages to knock out Joshua he deserves a title fight, he wouldn't be just "an MMA fighter". Joshua has had a disappointing career really given his physical gifts but he's still one of the best around in this current era of heavyweight boxing. If Ngannou even makes the fight hard he deserves to be talked about as a proper boxer and it should stop the disrespect.
Absolutely
 
I called the draw in a WhatsApp group, not that Ball didn't win but I knew he wouldn't get given it.

How can one judge have 114-112 Vargas and the other 116-110 Ball
Those scores are from 2 different fights
 
The commentators behaving like they have never seen boxing before made it worse. I expected Ball to win but they were talking his win with such certainty like this doesn’t happen in every second fight
 
I thought the Aj fight was going to be right about now ?

What time is the walkout ?

They'll piss around until they think they've milked every last possible PPV buy, like they always do.

We need to wait for Parker vs Zhang to finish and then probably another 45minutes after that for whatever unbeknown reason.

Yeah Imma watch this Zhang fight then call it a night. Don't think this fight is worth another pre match performance and a 45 minute ring walk + introduction.

Cheers bud.
 
I do find it amusing that the commentator talk about banking rounds and winning 10-9….when more than ever the cards are a complete lottery
 
feck me boxing is shit quite often isn’t it?
 
Well that was the worst 4-5 rounds ever seen. Talk about an easy ride.

And it's a literal graveyard in that arena, what a dump
 
It's absolutely horrendous isn't it? There was more noise at the fights in Eddie Hearn's garden during covid.
feck knows why they’re not piping in a bit of crowd noise, they must have had some feedback by now that these events are a morgue
 
Probably. By the way, Parker is a really likeable bloke. If he had some power he’d be a terrifying heavyweight

He is and I've a lot of time for Andy Lee, and have been following the story with Parker moving to Ireland during the pandemic to train via Andy's interviews on Irish radio/podcasts, so happy to see Parker win.
 
It says a lot about this dead event that the biggest talking point is that weirdo prince holding hands with Frank Warren as they walked out.
