    How dare they score a fight differently than you! They must be madmen, absolute loons! Lock them up in a loony bin, haha.

    You seem agitated so I’m going to leave it alone.

    I'm checking social media for when Joyce tucks into his chicken chow mein.

    Yeah no worries mate us Brits are used to nonsense opinions my family talk very blunt aswell so i'm not offended at all.

    Us boxing fans are very passionate and we like to express our opinions especially on a subject we're adamant on something we think is right or wrong

    If i'm being honest i was very excited and wrapped up in the fight so i'm not ashamed to admit i could've got caught up in the moment a few times. A round i do think i did make a mistake on is the 7th looking back i think Joyce probably did have the best of it overall but i got caught up in the end.

    I still think Chisora won it and i'm sticking to that opinion no offence to you, and i also won't try and change your opinion if you see it differently.

    That's the beauty of boxing everyone sees it differently.

    No... I'm not agitated at all. I just think all of this is patently absurd and feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, trapped in a room full of stark raving goddamned loons.:sisi1

    Yeah, if you don’t score it round by round and just watch the fight as a whole, you’ll tend to overvalue the later rounds due to recency bias. It’s just a natural human trait.

    Right i'm off to bed now chaps nice to be apart of another RBR i normally don't get to join in because the fights are on too bloody late for me. But i think all in all the main event exceeded expectations and we all enjoyed it so everyone's a winner. We also got a bit of a debate going with some of the scoring which is good to see i like bit of drama sometimes it spices it up lol.

    But yeah i'm going to stop rambling now like a "loon" sorry i had to @CST80

    Good night boys nice to share some thoughts with you again peace until next time.

    A great explanation and I appreciate the tone of the response, refreshing to see someone willing to educate others without being condescending or ridiculing.
    Thank you for that makes complete sense

    I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I have a feeling that Chisora and Zhang will get made, but I hope it doesn’t.
    It’s the most logical illogical choice that promoters will make the most money from their fighters who aren’t in title contention.
    I don’t want it but I fear it might happen

    Finally just finished watching this. What a great old fashion rock em sock em robot fight this was. It was sloppy and both guys were pretty slow and clumsy but it was still a fun brutal scrap. Chisora definitely deserved that decision. Wouldn’t mind seeing a rematch.

    Don't worry. It's a "wrong guy won" decision. you'll get the rematch if you like it or not.

    Me too, while also a Joyce fan, I'm a bigger Chisora fan. Good to see the old war horse have one final hurrah.

    He wants two more fights!

    Whyte III and Wilder I can see happening.
