The thing is, after the Skeete debacle, and now this gift, his popularity will be on the floor.

Sheereaz will only get criticism from here until he improves considerably, if he even can.

I’ll look at the positive. Hopfuly the rematch happens and Adam’s gets paid Saudi money again… but sheeaz looked poor and probably should be looking at the eubank instead…

I was just trying to remember a worse time in the MW division and I can't for this century at least.
Am I wrong?
Used to be my favorite division after heavy , but now...

Good luck Padley.

There’s some rough little fookers in Donny, Josh will need to be the roughest of them all and then some.

Wow, big announcement that they went from a 25,000 to a 6,000 arena to try and encourage a better atmosphere.

And there's so many gaps, especially ringside, going into the Shakur fight (4/7)

Even Johnny Nelson said Sheeraz lost but he expected the judges to give it to him anyway. Even Johnny doesn’t trust the judges lol.

If only pad could at least bang… give himself a punches chance… this could be grim.

I think it’s fair to say Padley lives the life. Credit to him.

Flump wrote: 22 Feb 2025, 16:44 I'm beginning to wonder if Sheeraz has frozen on the big stage, because this ain't good enough to take a title.
For the most part he fought like he didn't know what to make of Adames. I wonder whether his career to date prepared him for this.

Surprised WBC have the belt on the line for a guy nowhere near the top 15. Given the circumstances I’m all for it. At least it gives paddly the story.

Some of the men on the mic are showing impressive commitment to pretending this isn't just a mismatch.

They took a lot of interest in Bernard Hopkins ringside when they found out he was known as The Executioner.

Can Stevenson hurry up so we can watch Parker Bakole.

No offense to the other lad, and hope he's been paid well.

Paddly is tough.

Hope paddly just lands a clean shot and someone gets the photo. Winning is too big an ask, but let the kid get a nice poster of him clocking the world champ would be worthy.
