I hate Max. At least read your card.Someone is screaming at Max off camera, wonder who it is.

Great fight but not sure I could call it a great night for boxing. The dominant narrative will unfortunately be one bullshit corrupt decision and one sketchy one.
I meant the Hooker fight right before was the bullshit corrupt one. Ward decision was sketchy. The combination was bad optics for the sport.
I was thinking 114-113 Kovalev.
So it was basically a toss-up. If I go back and watch it again there's a good chance I could come up with the same score as the judges.
As Marciano490 was getting at, I think that decision seemed much worse because of the Hooker fight that preceded it.
That was about as overt as you get when it comes to displaying the shady/corrupt side of the sport. I don't know how that doesn't linger into most fans thoughts as they saw the Main Event decision...and if that is the case...then it's a shame that there would be any negative cloud, especially done in the name to protect a marginal (seemed that way last night) prospect. when last night should be a celebration of the sport.
To your point, my brother sat next to me and scored it the same as I had it but only for Kovalev.I really don't have a huge problem with the scoring 114-113 Ward. I have a bigger problem that it was all three judges. I can't find any two people who scored that fight the same so I'm surprised the only 3 who did were those 3. It's hard to believe nobody had the champion ahead especially given the knockdown.
Still, I'd feel worse for Kovalev had he not badly faded.
I'm not sure if they are showing the Ward Kovalev replay first or last but the broadcast kicks off at 730 pm.
Boy did they back up that anger in the ring. Awesome fight - even Rafael is talking about it as a FOTY candidate - there was a genuine hatred towards each other and they let it all hang out.I know almost nothing about boxing, but I've always had a soft spot for its high propensity for press conference shenanigans. This is an instant classic of that genre.
So, how much would you pay for the fight? I'd do $100 on the PPV and love it. Especially when I recouped every penny and more betting everything I have on Floyd at like -250 because people are dumb.Floyd is such a damn child. It's clear he loves retirement but can't stand not having the attention. So every month he has a new snide remark or something to keep himself in the news.
And now with the Pac fight not happening, I honestly think he's going to try and troll a non boxer into a fight to rack up #50. What a fucking joke.
I love Floyd the boxer. I watched that 30 minute sparring session he put up to promote the berto fight, twice. So I can't say I wouldn't watch but I'm just really annoyed that this is even a thing.So, how much would you pay for the fight? I'd do $100 on the PPV and love it.

I haven't done a survey, but maybe? It's been going on at least since Chuck Liddell, who would've destroyed Jirov or Toney or whoever was the champ at the comparable weight class.I think that's the missing link for me. I don't follow MMA and have no interest in ever watching an MMA fight. I didn't know there is a sizeable population of their fans who feel that way.
Are these the same people who thought Rousey would destroy Floyd?
I see. So crazy people.I haven't done a survey, but maybe? It's been going on at least since Chuck Liddell, who would've destroyed Jirov or Toney or whoever was the champ at the comparable weight class.
I like DeGale, but am not betting. One of these days I really should see a fight at Barclay's. They get some good cards.I see. So crazy people.
Hey since I have your attention, DeGale and Jack are fighting this weekend. If that isn't enough, DeGale's sister is smoking hot and there will be a ton of cut aways to her during the fight.
If it feels 50/50 to you, put money on Jack - he's +250 on Bovada.Yeah this fight feels to 50/50 for me. Probably a smart move to stay away

Excited for Frampton/Santa Cruz upcoming, too. Though this year doesn't have the mega fights yet scheduled last year did. Hopefully, the momentum carries through.
Whichever one he holds the rolled up twenty in, for starters.I've just seen LSC so many times that I feel like he took Frampton a little soft. Not that he didn't think he was good just that he didn't respect him on the world class level.
So Marciano, I'll ask you, the left or right arm? Which will Chavez Jr have to cut off to make 164.5 lbs against Canelo?
Give me a good reason for Floyd not to do it?I think it's a joke and Floyd would dominate. Destroying McGregor would embarrassAnd Floyd would murder him. Conor isn't coming near this fight. He knows better after his time in Wild Card getting punked. I'd pay to see it though and laugh and laugh at all the people who've said Chuck or Rampage or Conor could hang with even a midlevel amateur boxer.
