I'm watching Hearns latest interview on Boxing Social. WOW, the delusion is STRONG. I hope it's just a promoter backing his fighter because if AJ and Hearn believe any of that then AJ is bang in trouble.
I've noticed Hearn continuously say AJ was even or ahead after 8 rounds. Maybe on Howard Foster's bent scorecard but there wasn't a minute of that fight that AJ looked like he could win.
Oh it's got WORSE.. On Campbell Hatton Hearn said.. and I quote "at the final bell I thought it would be a DRAW" But said everybody else told him Hatton lost. Now if Hearn is saying he thought it was a DRAW all I can say is he is in full promoter mode.. there is zero honesty and he is back to "Whyte was up at 8" craphousery.
On that.. Hearn said it again about AJ being up after 8 rounds. He said 2 judges had it even after 8 and Foster had AJ 2 up after 8. Hearn said he didn't agree with AJ being 2 up after 8 but said he thought it was level after 8 So Usyk was on the way to being robbed if he didn't dominate the last 4 rounds.
Just watching the recent hearn interview just now. Some mental gymnastics going on. Eddie tried to justify howard fosters scoring by kind of saying their was a ukranian judge so the british judge doesnt know if hes gonna be fair so probably counteracted it with his scorecard. Scandalous stuff tbh. Howard foster has a job to do...to fairly judge the contest its not his job to counteract scorecards. He needs to be retired off...too many times now. The british board shouldnt really be finding these judges anymore anyway. The uk,s become a laughing stock under their stewardship in terms of judging. I m sorry but that fight wasnt even after 8 rounds anyway. I m not even saying howard was the only one not judging the contest fairly...none of them we,re. Including the ukranian.
He’s a ***** and nothing he can say now or in the future will change my opinion on him, a complete and utter politically correct weirdo company man, that bellew bomber thing at the Manchester arena was the final straw for me, an utter melt of a feller
I don’t mind Adam Smith, he’s clearly a melt but like everyone says, he loves his boxing and is passionate about the job. His technical analysis isn’t great but he doesn’t spoil any fights for me. Macklin is poor in my opinion, I can’t remember who it was (was it Usyk / Chisora?) when he said he wasn’t scoring it but it was pathetic. He can’t make his mind up where his bias is and is just generally dull to listen to. I used to like Ian Darke - it was iconic when he he shouted “Oh he’s going to have to be stopped!” when Prescott iced Khan. Jim Watt was annoying but he was consistent with his drivel. Jim Watt bingo was great with great lines like “aruuuum puncheeeese” “teak tough” and “bang on the chen” DAZN got a scoop with Costello.
He did come across well. He’s probably alright if he just doesn’t commentate when he can’t just stfu for 5 seconds during matches and ruins fights.
