Judging and refereeing are 2 different things - can they not afford to hire dedicated judges? You never see that crap in vegas? Did Mills Lane ever judge a few undercards before reffing the main event? Does the BBBoC not have enough money to fly in impartial judges? Why are these guys never held to account? The Fck ups I've seen over the years is enough to put together a comedy sketch. I once seen Ian John Lewis award a fighter 30 points in a 3-round prizefighter contest in which he was floored in the 2nd round. Terry O'Conner actually physically helped Nathan Cleverly back to his stool at the end of a round that Kovalev flattened him in. I could go on. But nothing ever happens. Grinds my gears.

I saw a channel 5 show a few years ago and as it came on there was a warning 'this programme may contain violence' Can't remember which fight it was maybe someone on here remembers it ?

Interview he gave

“It’s a throwback to respect the tradition of the sport,” Diamante said. Growing up I loved it when guys did it. My two favourite announcers were Mark Bureau and Ed Derian and they didn’t do the huge fights, but they were great announcers. They would always repeat the surnames and I always loved that as a kid. It originally started many, many years ago. Back in the day that some of the loud speaker systems weren’t that great and guys would call out the name one side of the room and then do it to the other side. I just love the tradition of the sport. It is one of the things that I love about it. Boxing has such a great tradition. None of the announcers do it anymore and I loved it and I am going to keep that tradition going.”

moving backwards + feinting around + pawing at air and jabbing from too far away to land = outboxing your opponent


to hear people describing lee selby as outboxing kambosos with the jab was maddening to me, lee mustve landed like 5 percent of them


it seems that ppl easily understand ineffective aggression when it comes to guys moving forward, but have more trouble understanding that a guy superficially 'boxing' can be equally as ineffective, and that he is not necessarly showing much skill or smarts just because he's negative

Yeah I quite like it, good to keep old traditions going even when not strictly necessary.
