    Norman was content on losing and the ref didn't do his job

    Ill keep it real. The ref didn't follow the rules and Norman was content with losing. He just allowed haney to hold him all night.

    Not the last 3 rounds. Holding to hold is illegal. 3-5 times and you gotta warn. After you warn 2-3x max it's point deduct. That's the rules.
    Nobody to blame but himself. Similar to ward vs kovalov or Danny g vs mathysse. Alot of bs going on, ref not gonna call it. Two choices. A) sit back and wait for ref to call it or b) rough that ****er up with head butt's, elbows, forearms, dump his ass......make the ref enforce the rules.

    This fight looked rigged. Yarde stood in front of Benavidez like an oak trunk.

    Finally I was wrong again. Looking at how the fight developed, 7-1 were not bad odds, they were fair.

    zurdo has better foot work than benavidez very good pivots takes a good angle and I think he has a harder single punch than benavidez.

    It didnt look like rigged to me. It looked like benavídez mopped the floor with yarde. Benavídez is in a different level in every aspect of the game.

    I don't think that is even true, but every opponent has better foot work than Benavidez anyway, and look what happens. David is a sniper, while Zurdo blocks punches with his face. You work it out.

    Granted that Yarde isn't the top guy in the division, but "pathetic" is hyperbole. Cringe inducing hyperbole at that. Yarde looked good. Peak? No. But pretty damn good.

    But my calculation isn't entirely based on that The Mexican (American ;)) Monster beat the snot out of a pretty good iteration of Yarde. It's also HOW he did it and how he handled the considerable power of a pretty good Yarde. It's also an eye test comparison between Beterviev's last fight compared to Dave last night. Finally, Beterviev is older, more worn and perpetually injured from training.

    I think Benavidez beats him. Now call me names.

    Qantas flies direct to Dallas (I've made that trip dozens of times) from Sydney then American Airlines to Bush Airport, Houston then Uber to the gym. You'd be seriously jet lagged so I'd advise a day or two to get used to the time. Good luck to both of you; maybe ProBox will show the bout.

    I don't think so.

    Zurdo looked great until he fought Bivol. Against Bivol, he looked like an amateur. What I mean is, Benavidez may look amazing against mediocre opponents, but not when he faces elite boxers like Bivol and Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev is over the hill.

    Time for Benavidez v Bivol.
