    They tried to rob Maloney?

    Gaballo should beat him. Gaballo is definitely flawed but just a little bit more aggression from Astrolabio would have beaten Moloney tonight and Gaballo will bring that.

    Bradley needs to get in a VW bus and floor it into a head on collosion with whatever Tony Bellew is driving these days.

    Cant stand either of them.

    Tessitore should just throw in the towel, start wearing makeup, and cut his **** off. The way he swoons for these men, would make most whores blush, at least they don't have emotional connections with their clients.

    Butler has a small head, he'll most likely get knocked out again.

    The commentary made it sound like Moloney was putting on some masterclass. I didn't see that. Just a lot of moving and jabbing with a counter sprinkled in every blue moon. Some might call that running.

    The commentary teams undeniable bias toward Moloney and the fact he's from Australia tells me there's a good "Land down under" ass kissing joke there but I'm too damn tired from watching that fight to make it.

    114-114 was nuts. 116-112 was fair.

    Astroboy had no clue how to cut off the ring, I guess he's used to opponents standing right in front of him begging to get hit.

    Honestly, i loved Tim as a fighter and respect him tremendously but he sucks as a commentator.

    Inoue donated all his belts to the WBC (World Bantamweight Charity) and the entire division breathed a huge sigh of relief

    It's not running if you are effectively jabbing the other guys face and making him stop in his tracks.

    No it wasn't a master class but Astrolab didn't deserve a win.

    I don't think it is if you value who landed the harder shots and who tried to make the fight happen more. It was close IMO.

    God I hope Junto knocks the other Moloney out of the business because I can't take a second high-profile fighter conducting himself like that.

    I mean...I didn't enjoy it half as much as I hoped, but it was clear that Moloney was going to fight this sort of fight to win. If it had been a really good fight I don't think he would have won. The onus isn't really on Moloney to change up what is working for him - changing that was Astrolabio's job and he really didn't do it and I think when he watches that back he will be horrified because 10 more punches could have won him that fight.

    Yes it was close. If Astro had landed a good punishing punch in every round, even just one solid hurtful punch the outcome would have been different.
