    No as in UFC afew weeks back they literally read out the wrong bloke as the winner. Then corrected it like 2 hours later

    95-95??? That was a cracking fight but how did that judge have it a draw? I thought those cards were a bit too close for comfort.

    Only put £5 on, but would have got £59 tonight if it wasn’t for that robbery. Obviously, £59 pales into insignificance when your career earnings take a massive pummelling because some people thought Ohara vs McKenna would have sold more tickets in the final.

    I had a tenner on Jazza in 9th. Wtf was the ref doing!!
    Still had money on him at 5/1 just for the win. Seriously the bookies are clueless with this sport sometimes, I’m no expert and I’ve cleaned up plenty of times lately when they do stupid odds. Tonight, Fury Klitschko, Groves Eubank, Mayweather McGregor. Plenty of times I’ve been robbed as well such as Wilder Fury.

    Every fight was brilliant. I enjoyed that night more than any for a long while. No 1/200 fights, they all wanted it. Every one of them.

    Macklin on Wilder v Fury 'Fury will box Wilders head off, but saying that Wilder could end it any second if he lands flush'. Thanks for that expert insight sherlock Macklin, hope you dont get too many splinters on your arse for that insightful prediction.

    The Bookies may be clueless mate but the fookers are always on the side of the sting mate paying good money for info.

    Yeah, that did cross my mind, but hard to see how they would mix up Mimoune and McKenna lol.

    Agree shame the judges affected the enjoyment. I think all of us appreciate and applaud boxers for the heart and dedication to do what they do and it takes some enjoyment away when you see them not getting a fair crack off the judges. Yes scoring subjective but some of those cards tonight were smelling more than a mortuary.

    He did, a terrific underrated wee fighter. I worry the way he marks up though.

    Missing the point that Ohara vs McKenna is a much more marketable fight

    McKenna has had the benefit for of the judges before, notably the Benson fight which he definitely lost.

    I switched off mate and missed the Dickens fight entirely, couldn't stand to watch any more.

    There's close decisions you feel could've gone either way or can say 'well the judges like this or they like that' then there's the one's that scream corruption. This was definitely the latter.

    Mimoune was never going to KO McKenna, just look at his record, so if the judges weren't honest then he was effectively putting his arse on the line with no prospect of victory. That's not what I call boxing. I can't watch a guy put his long term health on the line and effectively it turns out he lost the fight before it even started.

    A complete contrast to Matchroom cards mate where it is the Matchroom Fighter v Pudding week after week consisting of 1/1000 odds on shots to 1/10 odds on shots at best.

    Great night of boxthing last night only spoiled by either corrupt or incompetent judges.
