With insight like that there's a job in politics for him somewhere.

Ha ha to be fair I think he meant in the way the close rounds were then judged.

I think people read too much into Jack's stoppage loss. His durability has looked fine apart from that and it wasn't long ago that he fairly beat Dirrell (he seems to get little credit for this), who had tough Sakio Bika all over the place in their fights. Add Groves not looking too hot since the Froch bouts and I was surprised that he was so strongly favored here.

You guys know nothing about boxing.

The fight played out how I thought it would tbh. Jack did win that fight.

Happy boy tonight. Won £300 on dillian whyte abd around £90 on Jack.

One thing I do know is bugglioni has no chance against these guys and I'm getting annoyed about them mentioning him as someone who is up in their league. I'm betting big on chudinov.

Only one fighter was getting a 116-111 in their favour, which is a pretty poor scorecard tbh.

I had it 116-111 Jack but im on the drink and whatnot and had a mate in until late in the fight when he vomited and effed off sharpish and there was a loads of tit for tat rounds where it was give and take,Groves was as brave as ever,his self belief is admirable,Jack again really impressed me with his boxing savvy,i probably give him too much harshness(is that a word? it is now) because of the 1st round KO to Edwards but he's a very capable boxer


In a close fight like this,its amazing how a fighters appearence affects the scoring,Groves looked haggard,Jack looked slick so thats prob how went with him in the close rounds even though they were both landing

Jack just a bit cleaner,sharper and more hurtful for me though

I'm currently pissed . I may not make it to the Mayweather fight.

any one staying up for the last Floyd fight. having a 50/50 fight to

I'm not sure Groves is a world level fighter, he's already had 3 title shots & come up short each time. He's not likely to fight a weaker champ than Jack either. DeGale is miles ahead of him now.

...is there a weaker champion in the sport today?

I'm pretty sure I've won the last 6 boxing bets I've done in a row. The only bets I have right now are ones I put on months ago. I've got a betting slip from Coral which has a Badou Jack and BJS win double. So I guess that's a winner because the BJS fight wasn't rescheduled within 30 days (now taking place in December). I'll pop over to the shop tomorrow and find out.

The other bet I've got is £45 on Wlad to beat Fury in rounds 1-4 @ 7/1 with lads.

Cobra'd?

Watch the first one :) (along with Afolabi Vs Ramirez, Zoda Vs Petchchorhae, Matthysse Vs Provodnikov, Kongfah Vs Higa, Kaneko Vs Nakamura)

BS decision of the year!

GreedyG wrote:Martinez-Salido - WOW, this is FOTY material.

The intensity in that fight was unreal,reminded me of Corales-Castillo 1,i had it a draw,Martinez clawed it back,i had the last round even,was gonna give it to Salido for knocking Martinez's gum shield out but really there was nothing in it,i wouldnt argue who won

Thats a def FOTY candidate for me,ive seen a lot of game opponents but those 2 were epic,i cant believe the heart both showed,Salido looks unbelievable for someone with his career(hmmm) Id love to see the punch stats because that was unreal output from 1st to last


The tragedy is this fight will be far under the radar when Mayweather boxes to a easy albeit beautiful shut out

Glowacki-Huck and Santa Cruz-Mares were excellent but this was better IMO

so who is supporting berto. go on berto

Come on Berto!

If Mayweather was to lose to Berto 1 fight away from equaling Marciano's record that would some up the sport of boxing

bad promoters damage the sport but on its day theres nothing like it

I don't think George has been right since the first Froch fight. He left a lot of himself in the ring that night. Splitting with Booth wasn't helpful. He wouldn't have had him favouring quantity over quality as he has done in his last three bouts.

same mayweather.same fight .different name

berto feels it. he is gonna do it
