It was utterly atrocious. I made a fortune betting on it but it was woefully bad. They could've picked a better opponent for Hughie out the crowd.
What did you bet on ? how few would attend :lol:

To put it into context, if Hughie wasn’t Tyson’s cousin and his dad wasn’t paying his opponents purses, where do you think he would be?

:TU: Like I've posted several times before, if his last name wasn't Fury, we wouldn't be discussing him.

Just watched last nights ‘fight’ , Norrad looked like a beginner amateur in there, he was holding his gloves open as if they were pads. Shocking that he was 17-0

Based on the discussed 9 count, some referees will tell the fighters that they need to be on their feet by 8.

That is exactly what happened to Martin vs. Joshua.

At the end of the day, it didn't change the outcome, and probably saved us from a few extra rounds of dire boxing.

Yeh. Don’t they usually call it an 8 count. Ref’s expect boxers to at least be up by 8, depending on how they look at least. Martin was just sat there waiting for the 10 count to get up.

That was funny :lol:

He knew full well what the referee's instructions were in the dressing room, yet had the audacity to look so shocked when the referee stopped it when he did (especially considering he'd already let him get away with a 9 count the first time!).
