Round-by-Round: Hughie Fury vs. Chris Norrad - 25 May 2019

[JimStone]

I have no prob with Hughie having an easy one back.
However being the main event live on terrestrial tv is damaging

Indeed. A large volume of ridicule on social media. Makes the sport look shit. As does this empty venue.

[bigjack]

They couldn't have found a duller contender than Hughie to put in a main event. Channel 5 must have known what they were getting. Even destroying a far inferior opponent in 2 rounds tonight you couldn't describe HF as exciting. The people who make these decisions are not interested in the future of boxing.

Agreed,that's not going to attract anyone to tune in next time,in fact the complete opposite i'd have thought.

[JimStone]

Why is there always a pretend hardman on the front row talking on the phone to his mum "you are on telly now son, we can see you".

[Glass Joe]

I don't think there is any security there tonight to tell him to sit down, as only 50 people paid to go.

Yeah.
That should be the undercard opener or floater.

Channel 5 should demand better.

[Neil Gee]

Savannah Marshall has been promoted abysmally,

[Nightmare Roy]

....and that is why MMA is overtaking boxing.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Well that guy was only about 1% as hurt as hughies cousin was in his last fight lol

If Fury Wilder was in Britain it would have been waved off instantly if this fight was in the U.S it’d prob have lasted 15 rounds

[danconnollyeire]

When braithwaite entered the ring did anyone notice fake sounding cheering? Like when you watch an American comedy and they add the fake laughing? Was dead weird

[Ruthless-RKO]

Reminds me of WCW back in the day doing the pre-recorded "Goldberg!" chants.

The chants were not pre-recorded.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Michael Hennessy Jnr on the undercard?

He won a Decision.

[keithmoonhangover]

The chants were not pre-recorded.

They definitely were. 100%

[Tarquin Tarpaulin IV]

6ft double Olympian Super Middleweight Savannah Marshall v 5'6" Super Welterweight Borislava Goranova, who's been boxing and losing to Lightweights and Super Lightweights in her last few bouts, was an absolute matchmaking farce.

[milpool]

Just watched it, it was poor, very poor. Not a good look for boxing live on terrestrial television.

[mfc_se15]

Where was the fight?

[JimJim2009]

Shades of Julio Cesar Chavez.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Where was the fight?

Victoria Warehouse, Trafford, Manchester

Should have just done it at the Bolton Whites again. Looks more presentable.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Someone on Twitter said he counted 63 fans in attendance.

[Ruthless-RKO]

They definitely were. 100%

WCW?

[fizzjambo]

That
Was
fornicating
Dire

Peter fury says they didn't see norrad fight which is BS. Maybe he doesn't have the ability to type Chris norrad into YouTube on his phone though.. Yeah,lets give him the benefit of doubt

Dave Allen in Twitter saying he wanted Norrad a few fights ago but Eddie blocked it because he was too shite

Someone on Twitter said he counted 63 fans in attendance.

And he probably counted big Mick more than once
