Terrible decision.

If he fought Barrera 3 or 4 years earlier, Hamed would have probably won. He’d lost interest by 2001 and his hands had gone. Badillo is a good one and his win over Bungu is underated.

The Mexican judge was clearly paid off, but what about the British judge? It’s hard to find a case for 113-113, unless you are trying to find a way to favour Wilder. The referee did a great job in the 12th round though, he could have waved it off if he was in on a fix.

It’s a money making exercise. A draw is the most desirable outcome. It’s like spinning a movie into two parts, double the revenue. Just like GGG v Canelo, boxing is the loser.

115-111 Wilder is just clear corruption. The first 4 rounds for Wilder, what nonsense. You can only
give a case for 113-113 with Wilder tinted glasses on. This type of unfairness puts people off boxing and one of the reasons it will never be mainstream again. So unsatisfying after an excellent fight.

I agree. I also feel that Brook is an exceptional talent, he may if given the opportunity out do Khan in terms of achievement. Sky have made a big mistake. Khan v Brook in a couple of years would make them a fortune, if promoted correctly.

Ridiculous, Brook is much more interesting to watch than the 2 olympians and amateur world champion winning predictably easily. The real boxing fan loses out. They could have at least shown highlights not some 10 sec clip.

Any ideas if this fight is going to be shown on SBO? I know its not going to be live, but does anyone reckon it will be featured.

Naz v Barrera in the UK.

what a joke. Setanta are already charging customers over the odds, now their not showing the more intriguing fights. Most english or british people would much rather watch cotto v jennings than pavlik v rubio!

Ive seen him box a few times and he does have a lot of talent, natural strength and he is huge for 19. However being a heavyweight and turning professional at such a young age isnt a good idea, (career wise). The next few years he will not be challenged. He needs to be competitive to develop!
