    ****ing hell Jamzy, do you work for the DAZN?

    Why you pushing propaganda so hard?

    The card did nothing for the sport of boxing. It only served to increase the profiles of KSI and Logan Paul and that's good on them.

    It benefits:
    promoters - yes;
    other parties (DAZN, SKY etc) - yes;
    fighters - you mean youtubers?? If real boxers are put against celebrities and they only care about money that benefits them, ok
    BUT, anyway, it doesn't benefit us, the boxing fans!

    Miley Cyrus v Lindsay Lohan in a bra and panties boxing match, even it was just 3 X 1 minute rounds would rate through the roof

    Do we really want to see that ?

    I could ask you the same question, why are you pushing anti-DAZN propaganda so hard? This card did much for boxing as a whole, but you keep repeating the same things over and over without thorough explanation.

    I see you also didn't respond to my previous WWE comment, picking and choosing what suits your agenda, aye?

    It does benefit fighters though, it gives up and coming fighters a bigger platform, increased spotlight and even more money. How doesn't it benefit the boxing fans? I got to see two world champions fight tonight, also that's not even getting into the potential of newer boxing fans a a result of events such as these.

    That's because I can't be bothered, because you keep repeating yourself, giving the same redudant responses explaining how great the card was for boxing, when we all know it wasn't.

    Look how many people disagree with you in this thread.

    How old are you btw? I ask as that might go a long way in explaining why you are so fascinated and awe struck by the garbage we just witnessed.

    I am confused here.

    The OP says that "new fans" will have been captured by this fight yet aren't these new fans the very same as the "casuals" that many on here - and no doubt elsewhere - decry about?

    For the record, I think this type of event is a farce and isn't good for Boxing. It makes a mockery of the sport. This fight was just about $$$$ and nothing else which I find quite sad as I was brought up on the prestige of the sport.

    It would be like a Sunday League Footballer strolling up to Anfield today and getting a full game v City...

    Celebrity boxing is a farce and I agree from a purist standpoint it does make mockery of the sport. In my opinion an event like this is symptom of our time where "style" trumps substance so often. On the other hand it does help real fighters get paid and if it does create some real boxing fans I appreciate that. I saw the highlights and I will give those guys credit for being well conditioned and giving it their all. It was a real fight fought on a low level (I'm being charitable}.

    KSI swung like crazy and ran around, Logan jabbed a bit and ran around, KSI dropped Logan and it wasn't called, Logan dropped KSI heavily, tapped the back of his head and then was awarded the scoring of the knockdowns but deducted 2 points for tapping the back of his head.

    It wasn't what I would describe as boxing but it was still errr boxing.

    How can I explain it..

    Hmmmm it was like getting hand relief from a woman with really short arms and parkinson's disease, it was a little bit all over the place, absolutely no rhythm and a real struggle to get through but it was still hand relief..

    Understand me?

    I won't deny it, the match was entertaining in its own way. It was like a cartoon circus event. KSI went six rounds at 100% intensity you have to give him that.

    Logan Paul still looks more fluid and natural than all the pre-1950s boxers people love to preach about :D
