first off I asked you a simple set of questions, don't be a smart arse...

Did I say you know fuck all???

Does me saying I've done both alter your opinion?? I wouldn't want it to and certainly doesn't make me an expert, however you have tried to talk down to anyone who has had a differing opinion like you are indeed an expert..

One of those 'professional' judges who scored it was wider than a double decker bus, hence they've been suspended, does that sit well with you?

Score it how you like, you've explained your reasoning, the general consensus goes against you, however again it doesn't make those people right, but don't be so matter of fact, it's your opinion, I disagree.. the world carries on and they'll both line there pockets again!

I never defended that judges card though.. I actually added that part in the edit before you replied, that's where the boos were coming from which is a bit unfair to Canelo as he's getting stick from his own fans over a poor judge. I did come across too strong in the early hours of sunday morning in some of my posts for which I have apologised and removed the unnecessary posts but there was plenty of "you KFA" type posts for simply saying a draw isn't that far fetched, respect swings both ways but maybe you are right I can gladly agree to disagree and we can just move on.

No worries!!
 
Anyway I am off to the boxing at the arena this week. Furys cousin vs a kiwi. I am supporting the kiwi.

Only sold 3000 tickets!!

Hoping it gets me into watching boxing live again. Not enjoyed the scumbags at the last few I have been too.
 
Watched it back last night, scored it 115-113 to Golovkin. I dont think you can scream robbery because I could easily have scored it 114-114 and maybe at a push the same score for Canelo so I think a draw is a fair enough result. I think people are losing sight of the result not being outrageous because of one outrageous card, if Byrd had scored it 115-113 would there be this amount of outrage?

Either way Canelo has been given dodgy scores in the past and was the house fighter. Both fighters will make good money again on Cinco De Mayo (and more importantly so will golden boy)

Haye Bellew again.

Does anybody take this seriously any more?
I'm sure the lower/mid level of boxing is full of truly skilled sportsmen/athletes, but the top levels is more and more like WWF with every "contest" - now Haye Bellew 2.
As a sport, it feels like it's killing itself.

People will pay for it, they paid for the first one they will pay for this one. The only way this shit stops if people sack it off.
 
Haye if he didnt get injured during that fight would of KOd Bellew in my opinion. I think Haye KOs Bellew this time.

I see Frampton is teaming up with MGM / MTK Mathew Macklin for advisory / management. I think this will lead to him joining back up with Matchroom boxing at some stage.

I got a bad feeling about the fighters signed up with MTK they are linked to a huge Irish Drugs cartel. All there fighters are banned from fighting in Ireland Republic after a killing at a weigh in Dublin last year. So for fighters involved with them I would be watching my back as you just dont know what will happen at there events if they stage the fights.

You think fury attracts a better class of what they used to call The fancy?

Not sure what the fancy is to be honest. Sure it will be full of dregs but taking a New Zeland mate and going to keep my head down. Got ring side seats so looking fwd to being close to the action.
