I mean, he actually did knock him out by accident at one point so held him up so the fight could go on.Mayweather’s embarrassed himself there by failing to knock that chump out. But he won’t care as he’s made another truckload.
Genuinely not sure at what point bookmakers actually start asking serious questions or stop allowing bets on things that obviously staged

I actually looked at the betting pre-'fight' and Mayweather was 8/1, I stand to be corrected but I don't think they even ran a market on the draw.I mean, he actually did knock him out by accident at one point so held him up so the fight could go on.

If so, they surely cannot class everything else as a losing bet?
I don't know the specifics of this particular fight as I wouldn't go near it with a bargepole, but normally you can bet on the KO, what round, knockdowns etc, not just who wins. It's pretty clear that Mayweather fixed that fight to go the distance. I mean on the one hand, anyone betting on that farce gets what they deserve, but at the same time it's dodgy as fuckI actually looked at the betting pre-'fight' and Mayweather was 8/1, I stand to be corrected but I don't think they even ran a market on the draw.

To be fair all things being even, I would have bet my house on Floyd (an all-time great defensive master) to nor even get touched by the YouTube guy but it seems ridiculous that there was even a book on this (that saying, they do run a book on wrestling).........I don't know the specifics of this particular fight as I wouldn't go near it with a bargepole, but normally you can bet on the KO, what round, knockdowns etc, not just who wins.

Didn't the YouTuber then start calling out Canelo?Gotta remember, that if Mayweather didn't hold back in this fight, then he misses out on the even more lucrative Jake Paul fight.
Not called Money for no reason!
Absolutely no right to be even mentioned with these guys at all.............

So all the Matchroom fights will be on DAZN in the UK and Ireland. So a sub for the online for Matchroom fighters but good news. Sky got a deal with Top Rank and Boxxer until 2025. So the next 3 weekends big fights from the US starting tonight at 3 am. Boxxer i be interested to see what fighters they pick up. More competition for the UK fighters. Hennessy , Hearn , Warren and now Boxxer all on the scene the competition for out of contract fighters will be high for the the Olympic fighters on show this year.
Also its good to know Sky will show Lomachenko , Crawford and Josh Taylors fights will be on Sky at daft o clock. Also any of the Michael Conlon fights will be covered from the US which is going to be cool.

I went for a Stoppage in rounds 10 to 12. It could go either way. Ritson will start fast but i think he gets KOd late.

Ritsons Dad should be thinking of pulling his son out of this fight
The more the fight goes on he is going to get bashed up here. If there was no crowd he would of called it off by now.

That will do me. 7/1 for a stoppage in rounds 10 - 12 its all good. Money in the bank.

That ref should be ashamed of himself! Ignoring the towel coming in and fucks it back out what a bastard.
Serious damage could of come to Ritson there in the latter stages.
Fucking sack him asap.

Appalling and dangerous officiating again, as we have seen quite a few times in recent months. I’ve only seen that happen two or three times that I can remember in 40-odd years of watching boxing.
Sensational performance by Ponce, quite a few UK home town favourites have been turned over by unheralded but live and dangerous visiting fighters just lately

DAZN reporting that the towel was thrown in twice? I just seen it once. Maybe DAZN are just sticking the boot in.Appalling and dangerous officiating again, as we have seen quite a few times in recent months.

Either way it was absolutely shocking from the referee surely he can't continue after that putting Ritson in serious danger.
Fabulous performance from Ponce I had him to win on points, I knew my the first 5/6 rounds that it wouldn't go the distance Ponce was relentless.
That's a career ending defeat for Ritson hugely damaging.
He's a hard fucker the lad.

Hard to see where Ritson goes, he can continue at domestic level and probably still make a few quid but it’s painfully clear he is well short of the international elite

Your right well off international level. His defeat to Patera was damaging. He shouldn't of been awarded the points win over Vazquez either and tonight he got schooled.Ponce was like a wasp. Relentless.

Massive decions in the next few months for him to see what he does from here.
