    id love to understand the physiology of the cut thing and white dudes. Clearly not all, but a lot of white fighters seems really prone to cuts, scratches, etc. most of the white fighters on this card had cuts all over their torsos by the end of their fights; this didn’t happen to the black and brown fighters. What’s up with that?

    I’m a white dude, my wife is Mexican, and watched this event with me. She pointed out the cut up torsos and it got us into a funny discussion about skin. We were trying to see if her skin seems tougher than mine. My facial bones seemed sharper than hers feeling them side by side, but talking about fighters torsos, that doesn’t seem relevant. She thinks it’s maybe a skin thickness thing? No isea.

    If this is true, it might just be because the cuts are more noticeable on lighter skin. Or perhaps your wife is correct that its thickness.

    I don't know honestly. Even though Canelo is Mexican, he is clearly white and he doesn't seem to get cut often. So i have no idea.

    As for Filip, he probably has "sharp" facial features. He has quite sharply marked eyebrows and, as a result, sharper eyebrow arches.

    One can speculate whether this is the norm or not in the case of the breed. In my opinion, it is more about personal genetics and the structure of the face of each individual. It does not change the fact that hats off and glory to the cornerman and cutman.
    In the first rounds, Filip was really oozing with danger and Joe proved in the past that he can aim precisely at the "wounded" place, while in the later rounds Filip looked like he had been stitched up.

    A medal for the cornerman because they helped the Croatian a lot

    It's easier to see the cuts on light skin.

    Wilder has always been a fraud. When he landed his best punches and didn't sink Joyce after a couple rounds, he would fold and get knocked out. Just like he did against any fighter that actually fought back.

    You have some of the worst takes on this forum. But, maybe, you are doing this on purpose. Maybe you are an MVC alt. Who knows?

    yeah, his cutman did a great job at stopping that.

    Some of us can pull it off and get away with it , some can't.


    I'm written an idiots guide to 'getting away with it', AND getting a free drink at the same time.

    This was a hideous display of boxing, Joyce is shot to pieces, and Hrgovic began looking gassed by the 5th round. Looking at the crowd , checking their phones, talking about where'd they'd go afterwards and a general look of boredom confirms it. Hrgovic should need a ticket at ringside to get near a title shot after waltzing with a corpse for 10 rounds.
    P.S. Someone who cares should tell Joyce to retire before he gets his brains really scrambled,
    he's got nothing left
