Top Five Fighters of the Last Crescendo?

Post by Taansend »

Of the main seven bouts in Saudi on Saturday, which FIVE fighters impressed you most?

Losing doesn't matter. It can be whoever you were impressed with for whatever reason.

Break it down by ppv value for money.

Alakel w6 gomez 5/10
Smith w12 buatsi 10/10
Adames D12 Sheeraz 3/10
Stevenson ko9 Padley 3/10
Ortiz W12 Madrimov 5/10
Kabayel ko6 Zhang 6/10
Parker ko2 Bakole 2/10
Bivol w12 beterbiev 7/10

You can rate individual performances higher but in terms of entertainment this was some way from delivering what was supposed to be the best bill in decades.

It's not enough just to have the big names appear....you can watch the oscars for that.

Smith v Buatsi was a war.

But sheeraz, madrimov, padley, bakole, and zhang were huge dissapointments.
Bivol was on his bike again and the main event was exciting without being anywhere close to being a great fight.

Sorry, Funso, the main event was a solid 9. If you mean it wasn't just total drama then ok, but you can get that most days of the week on amateur shows. You have to factor in the level of both men.

In total agreement Funso .
Was a very disappointing night of boxing,
Smith Buastsi was epic , Bert Bivol was good and the rest was meh .
