Thats all fans want, at the end of the day. What’ll that be, 3 fights in 9 months? Fury ‘the greatest ever’ lucky to get one fight a year out of. If you could bet on it, I’d be lumping on him to pull out of the Usyk fight too. If only there was a betting market for moving/cancelling fights! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the showboating, but someone with a pulse would be a step up. No idea why the ref was telling Whittaker off about it though- he's there to enforce the rules, not his personal opinion on pisstaking.

No idea why the ref was telling Whittaker off about it though- he's there to enforce the rules, not his personal opinion on pisstaking. The rules are very wide ranging and include "unsporting conduct" which is up to the discretion of the ref. I think the ref's particular issue was with him turning away from his opponent which I guess could be deemed dangerous for him too as "not protecting himself at all times". Like you, I don't mind the showboating tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I don't mind the showboating tho. They're also different per sanctioning body, to muddy the waters further. I could completely understand the issue the ref had with Whittaker turning his back, but many of the other calls he made seemed to be more based on him personally objecting to the showboating. Whittaker wasn't fouling or seeking to gain an advantage other than through his own skill and got talked to 5 or 6 times- yet refs are happy to watch fighters lie all over each other and hold with barely a comment. Whittaker is already one of those fighter as many people will watch hoping he comes a cropper than showcases his skills- and that's a profitable place for him to be, so I don't reckon he'll care which!

I only knew @B1ackbird through this thread and it was clear he had health issues, but they never seemed to get him down and he was always the optimist. It was like checking in with an old mate chatting boxing with him on here. RIP @B1ackbird, I'll miss sharing the moans when the big fights fell through, disbelief at some of the shocking decisions- but most of all the laughs over the years. Light to his family and friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Yes, I will be. Certainly carries more jeopardy for AJ now after Ngannou's performance v Fury. Think Zhang will have too much for Parker. My usual moan; why are the fights on so late? About 2am time Saudi and 11.30pm UK. If they want to increase the popularity of boxing then make it make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
