    Fans need to start urinating in plastic bottles and taking them to fights so if the judges rob a fighter or turn in dodgy scorecards they can shower them en masse with golden rain.

    I watched that fight but I don't remember that. Don't know how anyone could boo Smith.

    People who watched it on TV say they didn't hear it, but I was in MSG and he was getting all the cheers and a substantial contingent booed Smith.

    It wasn't subtle or anything, it was loud.

    Hard to see a path forward at cruiser and dropping back down to 175 as he approaches 35 isn't rosy either. I hope he can call it a day or take on some D +and C- fighters instead of the top guys. He really needed to learn how to take something off his punches and throw combinations instead of loading up on big power shots which made him easy pickings for Zurdo

    Gutted for Smith Jr. As said before by others 99-91 is just another example of incompetence or corruption.

    Nice fight at the main event. Cruiserweight division is a shell of What it once was, so Zurdo might get his hands on a belt at some point.

    And what is keeping Oscar from making Munguia vs Melikuziev?

    Was Jack stripped of his belt? Says it’s being fought for by 2 other guys.

    Cruiserweight is like super middleweight, it's one of those divisions that go through peaks and troughs regularly... I mean the Haye years were shite.. Usyk years were packed.. look at Canelos SMW peers too .. they're dire.. we've gone from Ward, Kessler, Froch, Taylor, Abraham, Bute etc to Plant, the 154lber Charlo bro & BJS :lol:

    Not everything revolves around your hero Canelo.

    EPL has the millwall brick.

    Boxing has the Marquez Cocktail.
