Strange how Ngannu was so passive and non plussed about the verdict when he should have been going radio rental . Did he know something we didn't Handsome pay-off. Now looking good for such pay-offs in the future. Didn't actually expect to win. Career not on the line. No rankings, belts etc at play. He'll be very pleased with what he got out of it, although he knows he was robbed of a "win". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Fury goes on and on about being great. Hes a big fraud. He’s only had 6 world title fights and 3 to the same guy. How shite must Wilder be too No wonder he avoids AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 And of course the announcement is made this morning that the fight against Usyk has been cancelled until a later date. Surprising absolutely no one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising absolutely no one. It was only talk about 23rd Dec being the date, no specific date was officially announced. Uzyk has already stated that he has a few old niggling injuries and needs a 14 week camp. That in itself would take the date to late January at the very earliest.

And Fury was ranting recently that Usyk would fight him in December no matter what occurs. So in typical fashion Fury was happy to arrange the fight for then as it may leave Usyk short of fitness. But now he wants more time that goes out the window. The fat fraud will probably end up fighting Chisora again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WageThief Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 On 29/10/2023 at 10:46, Diadora Van Basten said: Jack Catterall lost fair and square the squealing from the commentators was appalling. They spent the last four rounds banging on about how great Catterall was whilst Josh was winning each round and Catterall was in survival mode. Not sure Catterall lost that fair and square but it was certainly closer than was made out. It is quite amusing to rewatch the fight on youtube from the US tv channel, where the commentators thought Taylor won. It should be "open scored" so the boxers know the score at the end of each round. The way it is currently done makes it seem very dodgy.

Catterall thought he had won it by the seventh and spent the rest of the fight time wasting and holding. If we had open scoring then this would be the norm for boxing the person ahead would just avoid getting knocked out by not fighting so I am not in favour. I think if there had been an unofficial score card on the TV at that fight instead of a stat about punches landed (that doesn’t matter in Professional boxing) then people wouldn’t have been that surprised by the result.

The problem is that carbon copies of fights like that go the other way, and at times it seems it does matter (punches landed). It's also a problem that boxing basically looks like fighting and we kinda inherently know what winning that is like. When I watch boxing I think I know who won, it's not like rugby where it's like cryptography. It seems to me your point about open scoring works both ways and the other side would know they need a knockout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing seems to like to point score in the amateurs when it suits the narrative.Biggest problem with the judging is they all seem to be old as **** that are doing the scoring.Take the scorecards posted on here they are all over the shop right from the first round one has Fury landing 3/8 and another has him landing 8/25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellczech Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I always reckon with boxing, if you are fighting against a champion in his backyard then you need a KO or TKO...relying on points is a waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do it with technology I suppose. Anyway, some proper boxing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
