    Not that old chestnut :-( Since when has throwing combinations that don't land and then falling into the ropes beat a punch that actually finds the target? Work rate my arse

    Apparently you get rewarded for making an effort now. ThatÂ’s also the justification for Williams over Lara. Work rate is not one of the four scoring criteria, but some idiots think throwing lots of punches is the same as effective aggression.

    I don't think anybody that is sane of mind would say that "Dudey def won the fight."

    IF you give it to Mccloskey, and that is a big ****ing if, then it was a scrape of a decision. Prescott obviously did more, and probably deserved the decision. A draw would have been harsh. To give Mccloskey 7 (or 8!!!!!) rounds is very excessive.
