Warrington should win if he's got anything left in the tank at this weight.

She probably did win that fight but one judge had it 9-1 which was another joke.

I guess as long as the right result is achieved it’s all good but that is far too wide.

Agreed, it was more of a 6-4 than a 9-1. I felt it could have gone either way on the scorecard.

Mate, you'd bet against your own ma if it meant you got good odds.

Warrington is going to get a point deducted if he isn't careful, leading with the head and shoulder

The North Bank · « **Reply #69774 on:** March 26, 2022, 11:17:05 pm »

Even though i bet on him, i want him to quit, dont kill yourself over my 20 quid lad. Hes getting battered, both eyes bleeding, just throw the towel in.

He was getting beat easily against Galahad then he knocked him out.

He is losing easily but it just takes one big punch and you are quids in.

Deserved that, absolutely battered him

Should never bet on Martinez, theres a reason he plays for Aston Villa.

jonkrux · « **Reply #69779 on:** March 26, 2022, 11:28:21 pm »

Warrington caused most of that damage with his head.
Battered him though to be fair.

Legs · « **Reply #69780 on:** March 26, 2022, 11:28:49 pm »

Martinez didn’t roll over you have to respect that he kept going.

That headclash didn’t help him in first round but he has had a good career probably should quit now.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #69781 on:** March 26, 2022, 11:32:43 pm »

He uses his head with impunity. Can't wait till he fights a fresher fighter and gets battered again. Lara will smash him again

Just my opinion but Warrington's post fight interview on DAZN was awful

Glad you said it mate cringe as hell I was embarrassed for him.

I enjoyed the Warrington fight. Martinez has a lot of heart, not sure if the first cut was caused by a clash of heads & did wonder if Josh would gas out & Kiko would take him out eventually like he did with Galahad. Would love to see Leigh Wood fight Warrington, think that would be a proper scrap. As for a rematch with Lara, I think that's all wrong for Josh.

Usyk joins the Ukraine army to fight against the evil that is Russia, then a week later his promoter is in talks with Saudi Arabia. What a c*nt.

They've come out and added to that quote a bit mate after backlash. Now it's "One of the possible venues we're talking to".

Thought Warrington was very lucky, was warned repeatedly starting first round about something I've heard referred to as "crowbarring". Use of the head/shoulder/elbow to simultaneously split the guard and land a shot already thrown. It's a rather underhand technique notably used by the usually more rangey fighter. In retrospect the ref should have called it a no contest after that headclash cut over kikos left eye, you cant swing your head round like a wrecking ball, theres rules. Dont like em, dont box.

He says he re-watched the fight and he still thinks he's won.

I think fighters need to have a certain kind of unnatural self belief else they wouldn't do it. I don't think you see it that often that someone wins on a bad decision and then says publicly that they lost.

Think Canelo said that the CJ Ross card was wrong when he fought Mayweather, but he lost that fight anyway. I think John and Peter Fury both said that McDermott was robbed but I don't remember Tyson saying anything. Leonard might have admitted he lost to Hearns in their rematch maybe.

I agree with your overall point mate but this was such a bad screwjob he's better off saying nothing. Even his ma wouldn't believe he beat Jack on that night.

Marshall has power but her record looks a bit like Wilder's before he fought Fury to be honest. Shields is the better boxer so I am a little surprised that so many people are picking Marshall. She might find the Shields puzzle tough to solve and could end up looking a bit lost.

Joyce v Parker is in negotiations for a fight. Possibly in late summer.
