    Ref was only going to enforce rules to support Haney.

    That version of Yarde was half the version that fought Beterbiev. Yarde was not throwing his right, even though he was getting tagged. Makes no sense unless he is shot.

    Opetaia's jaw was broken in the first fight so he was hanging on near the end. Second fight, Opetaia dominated and then gassed. In both fights he dominated most of the first half of the fight or more. As I said, Breidis is elite, so regardless of how he won, they are good wins.

    He will destroy Zurdo, which is why this duck, stopping unification, is so blatant.

    I agree Zurdo is ducking but Opateia is not some mega killer that people think he is.

    If he faced someone like Itauma for instance, I think he would get humbled REAL quick.

    Benavidez will do better vs Beterbiev than Yarde did.

    It makes sense if you understand boxing more than a casual level. He was hesitating for the same reason Gvozdyk and Morrell were. Scared of what was going to come back at them. David is very good at countering and once he starts to punch you might face an avalanche of them, which is why Yarde was hesitating.

    Beterbiev is a beast but he is more straightforward than Benavidez plus does not have his range and hand speed, so it's easier to get off against him.

    I enjoyed all four main card fights. They lived up to the predictions, but there was a lot of good boxing. Mason - Noakes was really entertaining, and I hope there's a rematch.

    Exactly why it's on norman to do something about it. He just gave the title to haney.
