Terry O'conner at his best

he carried Nathan back to the corner against Sergey Kovalev and tonight, after he'd nearly had Michael Sprott offed, he awarded Cleverly the victory by 115-114, in a fight in which Nathan dispensed entirely with the use of one arm. A true friend.

effing des O'Connor would have been better at stopping AJ v sprott before Michael took 3 too many.

Awarding that fight to Cleverly was a total embarassment, im starting to think he has been bribed or scores in a way which favours the promoter

I though his previous blooper by giving tyson fury the decision over john mcdermot was bad but to give clev that last night was even more shocking than the fight itself

How or why on earth he is not pulled up for this kind of sh1t is utterly mind boggling.

Sh1t fight and neither deserved to claim 'victory', but ffs TOC.

Glad you mentioned that fight. I don't bet on boxing any more but when the bell rang there I thought I was 3 or 4 hundred quids in. Terry O'Connor had other ideas. I believe it was at Brentwood so I'm not sure who the "home fighter" was but it was probably Fury's promoter who put it on.

Then there was the thing where he illegally assisted Cleverly against Kovalev. Home fighter.

Then there was a quite bizarre scoring last night. Fair enough things might look different down at ringside, but that different? Really. For Terry O'Connor, Tony Bellew had lost that fcking fight before he danced down the entrance and took off his gown, imo.

I've seen this sort of sh*t that you couldn't invent far, far too many times with O'Connor and I suspect there's at least 10 others that I can't remember right now.

Ridiculous that fight after fight, this shit goes on and nothing ever gets done. Cesspit of a 'sport'.

More stoppages than Kovalev multiplied by Golovkin.

indeed, more than Klitschko multiplied by Edwin Valero.

big hoo has about him giving Clev a victory by one round.

I personally thought Bellew was up by 4 or 5 but didn't bother scoring the fight. However I do recall that for the majority of the fight Cleverly was outlanding Bellew with a very weak jab and making Bellew miss the vast majority of the time.

I would usually score the fight for quality shots landed and effective aggression but scoring is subjective. If it was based on shots landed the punch stats showed that they both landed nearly the same amount, now since the last 3 rounds were complete one way traffic surely that means Bellew had been well outlanded in the first 9 rounds.

discuss.

wasn't it O'Connor who stopped it just before Peter Manfredo Jr was about to take out Calzaghe??

Take out calzaghe lol

Terry did manage to have the BBBofC change their rules regarding scoring English title fights after his scoring of Fury/McDermott,from scoring ref to 3 scoring judges

And gave poor Frank Maloney a heart attack..........all in the same night

Quite the feat

Did I hear right last night. Did Ed Robinson say during the fight that Boxing News had Cleverley up by two rounds after the first six? I thought that was bad enough, but O'Connor to pull out that stinking card giving it to Cleverly by a round was an out and out disgrace.

Some of the press ringside had Cleverly a few rounds ahead after 6 rounds. I disagreed with them and they were surprised.

The BBB of C held an inquest after the Fury - McDermott farce.

O'Connor told them he'd scored it for Tyson because he felt intimidated by 'aspects of Fury's support'.

I though McDermott threw away the fight by actually turning around and running away from Fury in the last two rounds of the fight. He should have got the result but he certainly didnt do himself any favours.
