I should really start watching these weekly shows on TSN, I love boxing but I generally only watch a few big fights a year. Doesn't help that none of my friends give a shit about boxing, nobody wants to get together for fights. EDIT: But they'll watch MMA and wrestling all the time. I can't figure out why boxing is such a hard sell now I think it comes down to Boxing being perceived as a slower, older sport. Here is one opinion on the matter

Here is one opinion on the matterTrue but with UFC, it's either you get a good action packed fight, or you get two guys laying and rolling around on top of each other for 15 minutes. There is no in between. I've seen fewer boring Boxing matches than I've seen boring MMA fights.

British judges are the absolute f***ing worst. Seriously, why would anyone fight there if they're not British? You either score the Knockout or you lose.

My dad was more worried because of how Dillian White hit the floor. Apparently there is a rematch clause in place. Eddie Hearn wants it to happen by the end of the year, but given how badly he got knocked out here, my dad's thinking a 3 month medical suspension at least, which makes the end of the year a bit optimistic to say the least.

If I was Whyte let Povetkin get terminated by one of the big 3 then fight him. Whyte was beating the tar out of Povetkin before the KO but you never know

Whyte was beating the tar out of Povetkin before the KO but you never know I've been saying for a while that Whyte's chin is getting suspect, and this KO is certainly not going to help matters. Once you get Knocked out your ability to take a punch drastically reduces. Whyte was certainly winning, but he never really hurt Povetkin in spite of dropping him twice. I have to be curious just how ready he's going to be to let his hands go, or if he's going to be gunshy based on the knockout.

To me he's at the stage of his career where changing up his style is a detriment. I knew his chin was suspect for a bit but I didn't think Povetkin would have anything left to hurt him. If Whyte is gushy against Wilder or Fury it would be a long night. Although for Whyte, Wilder is the best best to possibly win

Whyte's got to be the favorite to win the rematch no doubt, but that left uppercut will always be a danger. And I have to wonder if that danger is going to make him wary of engaging like he needs to to win.

Man, I think this is a tie
Lopez took the 12th and considering the way this could been scored, it might have got him the fight by one round

What the f*** are those scores? No way Lopez won that many rounds I was honestly waiting for them to announce that the 119-109 score was a misprint. Julie Lederman actually had Lopez winning 11 out of 12 rounds.

That is ridiculous Lopez winning was def a high possibility cause you can argue he won 1-6 and then he most def won the 12th round so a 7-5 is fair but 119-109 is insane

I thought that was going to a draw once loma poured it on. But that judge scoring 119 to 109 was insane. The judge is on the take. Where is teddy atlas to lose his mind and say how he hates seeing guys put their lives on the line to be robbed like that
