Most def! Here infact

I tend to prefer technical accurate boxing but at least I score that every time.

My weakness is that I favour precision but swap to physicality if I feel it's having a greater effect. Leads to a few topsy-turvy cards.

I try to do it on damage - it's "the hurt business" but it's often so subjective that you end up scoring technique, defence and slight reads of body language.

I'd like to see a lot more 10-10s - WHY is it considered rubbish ?
A load of rounds tonight coulda been 10-10.

Eddie should sign Persoon. She is going to be a monster at Super Featherweight.

[margaret thatcher]

People scoring that fight for persoon are aware that throwing a punch isn’t scoring a punch, right? You have to land it!

why did u give her 4 rounds bruh?

[Finn]

River anyone?

[margaret thatcher]

Dil gonna win by big ko to keep building that impressive record

[Delta Jay]

Jaws into AC/DC. Ok yeah I’m having that well done D

[Neil Gee]

Don't really see why they keep going on about the risk factor for Dillon here. Povetkin was gifted a draw against a cruiser last time out and is clearly finished as a top level heavy as a leaden legged 41 yo. It's a clever gamble if it's a gamble at all.

Dillweed is probably my favourite fighter right now.
I@m not usually "a fan" of individuals but I am a bit for The Body-Snatcher

Edit - of course I AM a fan of Fury and he's my favourite. Dill 2nd.

[Tony1244]

Wish I could watch. Starting soon?

[Frostieballs]

I’m giving Povetkin the first round because of how bad Whyte’s ringwalk was.

That was hardly a gift draw, very close fight

Hunter is prob close to a top 10 hw himself tbh too

Sorry mate. Hunter won that fight all night long.

That, and I'm also an advocate of changing to 5, 7, 9 and 11 rounds, with 7x3 the championship standard for women. With a rejigged return to linear rather than progressive weight classes, so /_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ instead of /////_/_/_/__/___/

Whyte wearing a vest that looks like it could weigh a pound or 2 is concerning - could cause him to gas

Yeah I miss those old fashioned boxing robes.

[Onamastus]

Hunter lost fair and square.

[Grilling Machine]

Not entirely sold on Whyte in this one, but he is the more likely to win.

[Delta Jay]

Whyte’s feet very close together.
