    It was quite the about-face. Quite the 180.

    I doubt he misspoke. They were praising Hughie most of the fight.

    To me just indicates they're instructed to favor the hometown boxer during the fight, then at the end Bradley could start speaking his mind. Either because he got wind of the probable results, or because he's just allowed to say whatever he wants after the final bell.

    The scene had it even which is interesting, the nature of Hughie Fury fights it seems. They're so bad that people zone out and toss a coin for who won the round.

    Povetkin is a good gatekeeper for a few fights before retirement.

    I expect Loma to stop Cool Hand Luke in the second half of the fight (maybe late). However, Luke's huge advantages in height, weight and reach coupled with his technical skills, movement and boxing ability aren't to be sniffed at and he's also hitting very hard now (harder than most realize) and the fact that he also has fast hands to complement his power, skills and size advantages make him dangerous.

    I'm also a little worried Loma might suffer another injury tonight as well given what's happened in 2 of his last 3 fights.

    What a beautiful sunny Sunday morning in Australia the sun is shining I am having a coffee about to watch the great Lomachenko after a great evening of seeing that overrated douche Jeff Horn get a beating from a part time stripper.

    Straight result, no controversy now that makes a change after witnessing some awful robberies in boxing contests.

    Ward should not envy Lomachenko. Loma will never endanger Ward's reputation for ball punching. ever.

    at least hugie won 2 rounds out of the first 4. So it's at least surprising to me that he won only one round more in the rest of the fight. But anyway, I couldnt watch the full fight. So I cannot actually argue anything. But I left the fight closer than 117-111

    Luke is totally underrated and looked down upon. One of the most spit upon fighters in boxing. This coming from a I e time detractor. The dude redeemed himself with the Linares fight and avenging the Mendy loss. He's legit and while he'll lose clearly here I dont think he will totally be disgraced.

    Well what do you expect? Most would pick a male stripper to beat a school teacher.

    I had it 7-5 however was probably a little generous in giving Hughie the...10th (or 11th I forget).
