Although it was a banging finish. I still think Clarke had his back to him and the ref should have seen that. At stepped in before that. But take nothing away from the victory.

Can we just skip all this shit and start the boxing please
I find it really strange to have musicians perform. Busta Rhymes is a big deal to one demographic but hardly universal. It doesn't really matter who it is, it just doesn't fit outside of singing national anthems.

Yep, really don’t get who thought a few nineties/noughties musicians are the perfect way to get you in the mood for boxing-especially when you’ve already had a load of other fights so it just kind of kills the flow of the night for me

It's a pity Trump isn't President, because he'd ban this shite from re-entering the country out of sheer embarassment.

This is out in the middle east again isn't it?
They're just trying to buy their way into boxing and make a big spectacle of it all.
I'm not watching it but they'll probably play the Saudi national anthem and the front rows will be full of Arabs who look positively bored by it all.

I really hate what the middle east money has done to plenty of sports but the fact that the boxing community seem to be such willing lickspittles has really got my back up recently.

You’re right on both counts in the first paragraph :LOL: (although you missed Bivol and Berbatiev starring in a high quality 5 minute vikings style movie after the concert)

The only good thing about it is those big fat cheques are making the fights that everyone wants to see happen, apart from that though it is all a bit of a farce-it’s been over an hour since Wardley Clarke

For me, that's what it's all about.

I remember being so excited about Mayweather vs Pacquiao but they held off until well past their prime.

This is making the big fights happen. The lack of top fighters having the fights in their prime was killing boxing.

Nah that is what kills me with this sport, when i heard a 116-112 i thought it has to be Bivol but it's too wide, and they announce Beterbiev...that is outrageous.

close fight but a draw at best for Arthur
