    The ref is allowing them to hold & hit too much imo, there was a 30 sec sequence where they were just hitting each other with awkward semi rabbit punches in the clinch.

    The ref looks absolutely clueless in the replay of the moment lol.

    That referee is next level garbage.
    Cacase won every round so far.

    Frampton said earlier that Cacace hits way harder than his record suggests.

    He did, but someone also needed to actually deal with the best of the previous generation: the likes of Povetkin and Pulev.
    Deontay was being protected, and Fury was busy hoovering everything he could up his nose.
    So it fell to Joshua.

    They did everything they could not to match Wilder with Ruiz Jr. And we just saw Parker demonstrate emphatically what level Wilder has always been at. Smoke and Mirrors.

    And let's not forget Fury and Wilder actively told us all they were going to freeze Joshua out when they locked in the second fight of their trilogy.

    Joshua fought his peers, not only the remnants that Fury and Wilder's generation who they should have also fought, but also the likes of Parker, Whyte, Ruiz Jr., and Usyk. We also know Joshua even signed to face both Wilder and Fury. It's become clearer and clearer why those fights didn't happen. I mean it was already clear from the start, but some were enamoured with Wilder's right hand and PBC spin

    Awful head movement from Cordina, gets hit with an uppercut and then stays in place and gets his head popped with another.

    Ref is too timid. It's like a mouse telling fighters to break.

    Fair play to these 2, putting on a real show.

    Could you imagine the atmosphere if this was in Belfast or Cardiff?

    Guys, I know the fight is good, but watch the ref for like 30 seconds straight, it's hilarious. It's a constant face and body language of "I don't know."

    Exactly. No way Cordina won the 4th. He make a good comeback, but still lost the 4th. round. People just don't how to score a fight.
