Is there a reason why they do not list the reach in the tale of the tape?
Kinda important.
Bam Bam has loooong arms for his weight.

supurb fight... interestingly i think this is one of those fights that actualy dosent tell us much about how good the two guys are.... (unpopular opinion mabey).
I view it like the wilder vs fury trillogy.... to me that actualy created doubts on both... but somehow to most it really really elevated both.
This fight didnt spark doubt for me as much as wilder fury but it didnt confirm brilliance. .... were they both incredibly tough? or do both have a bit less power than previously thought.... were both great offencivly? or poor defensivly.... An even fight thats fight of the night/fight of the year type fight always feels like it must be exceptional and therefor both fighters must be elevated, but really 2 brittish levle guys can have a fight of the night....
Overall i predict they are both very good. but i dont think this fight confirms that. (i think it confirms mason can be very good if he sticks to a gamplan cause on the outside jabbing he was class)....

I don't see any cards as "shocking".
Noakes was great with his grinding strength and won a lot of hearts.., but not many rounds !?
Abudullah is absolute class and mostly outboxed him - a lot of close rounds but I think you had to give 'em to Mason.

They should get Lennon as MC on these cards.
We probably gonna see Buffer later aren’t we?

Yh Mike did say 2 of his earlier cards could have been swing for Noakes.

Fair points gregory, you’d expect Mason to mature a bit and actually use his advantages in a smarter way. He seemed to have too much of a point to prove tonight. No need to do that over and over.

115-113 or 116-112, which is a little harsh.
Mason could hurt Sam but Sam didn't really hurt Mason, save for a couple of body shots but he was strong.
Not seeing 117-111.
Anyways, Bam Bam, one of my fav's is top, top class. Let's go!

Martinez was robbed of a knockdown in that 1st round. Bam's glove touched the canvas after one of them big right hooks connected it looked like to me.
I had the round for Martinez.

Bam definitely zeroing in on everything Martinez was bringing, and defending much better in that 2nd round. Picking him apart, and looking sharp.

weird isnt it... he is looking 100x better... but he is getting hit way to much to be talking up the preformance this much.

Didn't seem to take too long for Bam to sap all the fight out of this kid did it?

This is turning out to be about as one sided as I figured Benavidez vs Yarde would be.
