The Boxing thread

Great win for Rafferty, amazing that 2 judges had that level though.

I know! Couldn't believe that, and the other judge probably had it right, Turner four up.

Massive fight Saturday and could be one of the fights of the decade for proper boxing fans . Beterbiev versus Bivol in Saudi is the real deal and knock spots off of hr hype jobs we see from the uk .

I've got a feeling Bivol on points

I think Bivol is good enough to stay away from the knockout blow and just pick him off and win on points like you say. Beterbiev looked like he was in trouble against Yarde before knocking him down, and was behind on the scorecards. I don't think Bivol would get into that situation in a fight as he's technically so good.

 

[Lost in space]

I have Bivol by a jab masterclass.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Really looking forward to it ......

I've got a feeling Bivol on points

I think so too and I would also love to see Eubank Jr put on his ass . Overrated and dislike him immensely. Says we haven’t seen all he’s got to offer. That is the problem, we should have by now

I have a feeling he stays inactive on purpose or through choice.
Seems like he'd rather talk a good fight than actually have one

I have Bivol by a jab masterclass.

Can see beterbiev catching him in the end but then again can see Bivol out boxing him . A true 50/50 fight

My pals lad Jack Massey got a tough job

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

He has but he is in there on merit.

Best nickname ever

Whittaker not with his usual swagger tonight. Maybe done him a favour going over the ropes

 

[mancity dan]

Cameron won that imho. Whittaker being a shithouse as knew he was losing.

 

[jimharri]

That reminded me of saturday afternoons at 4 o'clock on ITV. Kent Walton commentating, Kendo Nagasaki, Big Daddy, Mick McManus etc etc.

Certainly shown up as far from as good as he feels he is .

He was in with someone who didn't buy into his hype, plus landed some good shots.
I agree Whittaker wanted out
