Shouldn't be allowed that

Clutching at straws, he was fucked.

Still would've got back up. That shot was bollocks

He looked done to me.

No contest, rematch and double your money.

 

[Machiavelli]

The fight game is gone. Technology ruining it for the fans. ;)

 

[decmancity]

Martinez likely would have finished him when Edwards got back up but you can't be doing that, he doesn't deserve to have a rematch. Watchin on an ESPN commentary and they were saying this lad was fighting in prisons not too long ago, you never would have known.

 

[Machiavelli]

David Beckham and Jimmy Sommerville’s Lovechild calling the other lad a cheat? It was the refs fault for not stepping in. No respect for Slim Baby.

Boxers know the rules. You can't hit someone when they're down. No matter what.

Yes the fighters know but I think he was playing to the whistle so to speak.
The ref is in there to protect the fighters when their opponents get them into trouble and they’re unable to protect themselves.

Anyone help a poor blue who is stuck in work, with a river?

 

[Petetheblu]

Blonde, slim, nice tats! What’s not to like?

Seemed like a genuine guy in the end.

 

[Machiavelli]

Zzzzzz

 

[worsleyweb]

Agree with that decision.

 

[manimanc]

That fury/povetkin fight was good, proper respect for each other there, both touching gloves before each round.

I really wanna get on board with Hughie but every time he steps up he's in stinkers. He's got some chin though because povetkin caught him with some quality haymakers. Think he boxes too scared to ever be mixed in with the top guys.

Nail on the head. He will not commit to offensive work and maintains too great a distance so that his punches continually fall short. He has physical talent but not the mental fortitude, IMO.

 

[worsleyweb]

Looks a handful this fucker.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Drink Lomachenko in, he is one of the greatest to grace the sport

English guy should have got the soles of his boots sponsored then?
