    Rivera just got Jacked by the judges. Another robbery in the rich tradition of boxing. I hope Usyk is watching this decision because there is more incentive to rob him against AJ. If AJ wins, Fury will probably announce his return from retirement before the post fight presser. If Usyk wins, Fury might stay retired.

    Boxing is rotten and this fight is a pretty good example. I’ve seen worse of course but this one was a pretty clear win for Rivera. I hope Jack has he balls to give him a rematch because Jack lost this fight. Not to mention the mysterious four minute round.

    I can see the same timekeeper ringing the bell early if AJ gasses and gets himself in trouble. Get ready for a two minute round in that case.

    Just understand that AJ team, aka corrupt piece of s**** Hearn was trying to remove the Ukrainian judge - Viktor Fesechko at the last possible moment and wanted him to be replaced with UK referee. Tell me how that is not a corruption of it's highest order ?


    They are going to screw Usyk big time, just watch.

    Speak for yourself, he was throwing triple uppercuts and throwing with supreme athleticism from crazy angles. Jack was talking about not fighting his fight, but that’s because Popeye was canned lightning (or spinach) and he was running the show.

    Just heard the UK team of 3 lames including Carl Froch saying that Badou Jack deserved the win,

    Sky or Boxnation or any other UK will always be trash regardless.

    So what? Even more champs would have been picking AJ in the first fight. Why do we pretend that boxers have some secret insight?

    That was a close fight. Rivera isn't a champion material anyway IMO. Slick but very basic, predictable attack.
