WHat Mags said.

How can you not pick Bam ?
I'm thinking the great El Gallo has enough left to last the distance in a gallant losing effort.

[skanksta]

Rojo looks the business !
steals the undercard show

[Perseus]

Been looking forward to this one.
Just sat down and turned on dazn, should be a fun show tonight.

[skanksta]

Good start, good fight, A side got a dodgy win.

No robbery, more like he was "lucky" to nick a close one.
No problem with the result as such, just the normal boxing smell that I'm sure he'd've lost if he'd been the B side.

[Perseus]

dazn needs to fire Sergio Mora before the end of this broadcast.
ANY commentator who applauds blatant running needs to be immediately dismissed.

Glad the judges got that one right.

Good fight, not a classic but good

There you go - Perseus thought it was correct because Barrios "ran" too much.
He did a bit at the end, but it was good Ring-Genship and Defence, so how much should he be marked down ?
That kinda close fight.

[margaret thatcher]

i didnt see this fight, but mora defo has a bias for negative fighters. in particular i remember alex martin running from michael mckinson all night, clearly losing pretty much every round (judges had it that way too), and mora acting like it was some squeaker that could go either way.

That kinda close fight.

Blatantly running from the opponent is not good defense or ring general ship.
Period.
If they don't visibly hurt or drop the opponent in that round it should be scored against them every time.

.....and commentators should be fired for cheering a runner in a combat sport.

[skanksta]

That's harsh, he'd built a lead, he was pot-shotting now and then, "shades"....

How you score this women fight ?
I think Ali nicks it on class, but again - no real argument...

[Perseus]

I thought it was closer than the official cards but no complaints from me on the winner.
I wouldn't have been surprised or complained if the decision went to Ali either.

[margaret thatcher]

mexican won that clearly for me, thhough tbh i was going in and out

[margaret thatcher]

if class is just having neater looking form, it doesnt mean much to me. you cant assert neatness on your opponent. you can box ugly as hell, but if youre landing more and landing harder, youre the one who should be getting more points

Well it was mainly snapping the Mexican's head back and making her nose bleed - Ali was doing less, but it was more accurate and classy boxing, not just dicking about.
I don't really have a problem with the score either mind.

[skanksta]

Sunny Edwards giving it the matador already in R2.

20-18 to ShowTime.

[Perseus]

Edwards been watching some old FNF Augustus fights?

[skanksta]

Sunny looking great and that makes Bam look great.

Curiel looking as lost as anyone ever has against Sunny.

[Perseus]

That is a nasty cut.

[gregregegg]

Sunnies head is split like a dropped Mellon. Given it’s 7-0 I’d be ok with going to the cards now honestly.

[Perseus]

imo this should be stopped.
