Judges should be held to account round by round on a tv replay. Shocking scores.

Embarrassment to boxing that result, how did 1 judge it 119-109 what the fuck were they watching, there were 3 rounds when Abraham didnt land a punch, whichever way you had it, it had to be close. Shocking 'homer'.

For a man who'd supposedly just lost nearly every round to a hard hitting world champion, his face was in surprisingly good shape

Theres a reason why the Germans dont travel to fight and when they win a World title its generally home town fights or fights in Germany. King Arthur looked a bit poor. He didnt come in ready for the fight underestimated Smith. Thats the reason why Smith got close. Smiths got beaten by DeGale and Groves so you could imagine if either of those 2 were fighting King Arthur last night think it would of been a closer fight on the score cards but stil a Arthur win. Now if Matchroom look for a rematch and were they put the fight on who knows if Smith could win the fight or not. But Arthur got his get out of jail free card last night.

Every country is the same e.g McCloskey vs Prescott in Belfast.

Oh i know most of the countrys are the same. Ricky Burns has been lucky at times fighting up in Scotland but it wont change until the boxing judges are scoring the fight outside the venue and then theres hope. I think some judges just take way too much sway to home crowds cheering instead of scoring the fight right.

Yep, most of the crowd are too far away to see a clean punch and cheer at nothing. Maybe ear defenders are needed :)

Hes hit and miss to be honest. I was slating him about a fight he had years back with Ovil McKenzie basically saying he got lucky and Frank Warren get out of jail free card. Tony then basically asked me to step in the ring with him to see first hand what he is capable of. I laughed it off. Saying that he seems to be a decent lad its all a front but he hates Clevery. I have chatted to Tony since then and he has offered to sort me out tickets for 1 of his fights but I couldnt get over to see it sadly a wedding the same night.
Looks a stacked card. Quigg in with a former Bamtamweight World Champion Joseph Agekbo who has lost 4 of his last 6 fights last fight he got beaten by Rigondeaux. Quiggs first major test with a former World Champion even if that was a Bamtamweight champion.
Jamie McDonald fights against Ramos should be a good fight. So the PPV is stacked but it wont do the numbers of Froch v Groves. I think next year there might be more PPV events sadly. Not a lot of fighters are PPV worth. I look at Froch v Groves fair enough but no other fighter is. Saying that in 2015 you could well see Khan v Brook and Quigg v Frampton all on PPV along with Froch v Whoever he fights. Madness. Saying that this month the boxing on Sky there is some really good fights on. Callum Smith this weekend and Josh Warrington. Next week Lee Selby and Anthony Joshua and John Ryder all in decent fights. Then Golovkin and Donaire fight from the US. Its all good.

Lol, I remember that conversation, a good few years ago now wasn't it mate ? I did say back then from mates who were close to him personally and professionally that he was a decent lad, gets a bit carried away yes, but does play the game well when it comes to drumming up interest.

Well fight fans..
2am Sky Sports:
WBA Middleweight Title: Gennady Golovkin v Marco Antonio Rubio
SKY+ it, 90% ko rate. Destroyed Macklin and Geale and has Cotto running scared. Kazakhstan fighter so does sound a bit funny due to Borats ridiculing film.
Oh, and cannot wait for Saunders v Eubank Jr. Hope Eubank loses and then fancy Chisora to KO Fury in 6.

Anyone planning on watching Golovkin tonight? The most entertaining fighter out there at the moment and up against a decent opponent. He's quickly running out of people to destroy though, no one wants any part of him and I'm not surprised. I'd love him to be the one to shut Mayweather up, but I doubt that fight would ever happen. Too many greedy cowards in boxing, more interested in picking up their cheques and keeping their records than fighting the people that matter, it makes you appreciate people like Froch and Kessler all the more. (I wouldn't even be surprised if Froch came out of retirement to fight Golovkin if the opportunity presented itself, which would be a fantastic fight)
Wow, just wow. An absolute demolition, phenominal how quickly he can hurt an opponent and how accurate he is once he has his opponent hurt. I cannot believe that punch that finished it, like a reverse uppercut, somehow getting power while punching from above his own head. Effortless destruction

I love how he sounds like Borat in his interviews.
