That Brendan Ingle's advice in the corner was a little bit strange?
The funniest one was "This is Ali vs Foreman" (ugh).
Closely followed by "No one gave you a chance" says Brendan to the betting favourite.
He did the business so something must have worked, but they were a little bit out of context.
Did anybody agree with the commentators

Bizzare comments, not sure how much they worked or didn't work. There was also that bit when he told Witter N'dou was knackered, when he clearly wasn't. I think Witter just needed a bit of reassurance, but the comparison with Ali v Foreman was just inexplicable. I suppose you could compare Ndou to Foreman as he was the aggressor, just about.

Yep, you're not the only one who thought the cornerwork was a little weird.
The "Nobody gave you a chance" comment could maybe be explained by the fact that most American fans (those who've seen only the Judah fight) don't reckon much to him at all. But that's only a maybe.
The Foreman/Ali bit, I must confess, totally baffled me.

That was a headscratcher for sure. Has there EVER been a sytle less like Ali's rope-a-dope than Witters?stujones wrote:That Brendan Ingle's advice in the corner was a little bit strange?
