    That was absolutely brutal tbh. Terrible event to watch. Cruiserweight is such a dire division in Britain.

    Anyway how about Jack Massey. Him going the distance against Parker is looking better and better over time on paper. Still, I include him in the above statement. There are just no explosive Cruiserweight bangers about here atm.

    At an absolute push if you're being very generous to Riakporhe then 8-4 in CBS favour. Anything less is scandalous. I had it 118-109.

    Based on what I’ve seen tonight, if Okolie and Riakporhe had fought it would have been a dreadful spectacle.

    And seems to have the knack of pulling a rabbit out of the hat. Actually reminds me of heaney.

    I had it 118-109 for CBS. Scorecards were a joke.
    Not a great show overall. Massey vs Chamberlain was ok. Whittaker very underwhelming.

    Pleased for him. Have watched and liked him for quite some time but never expected him to get close to a world title. Let alone win one and defend it 3 times.

    We all like to watch elite fighters of course but there's something admirable about seeing a limited fighter make the most of his attributes and overachieve.

    Really likeable guy too.

    Great to hear CBS looking for the Zurdo fight next after years of shyte with fighters like Eubank Jnr, Connor Benn and Joshua types talking the talk yet nearly all of their careers are fighting stiffs.

    Good luck selling tickets for that one. If they fought in my garden I'd close the curtains.

    Depressingly, you might be right about that.

    I suspect they would permanently fuse together by the 12th.
