    Well hey now... Judges haven't announced their cards yet. Could be a robbery here.

    Good cards. "The Lion" my ass. Held on like a ***** all night.

    I have lost any respect I had for him. I hope they feed his ***** ass to Joshua.

    And Allen was a disappointment too, dont get me wrong.

    I agree with the ref when it comes to holding, but if they’re going to enforce it they need to be ****ing consistent! I’ve seen far far worse holding than that in fights where no points have been taken, let alone two. It’s only annoyed me because it’s obvious it’s case of a home ref being impartial.

    Allen should rematch Whyte, it would be a solidly marketable fight...

    I hope Allen is alright, he took a lot of hard shots. Makhmudov has solid power, and the fact that he went the distance is impressive. I am sad for him, he tried his best.

    Nothing against Allen he's a good dude and humble. But glad that dumb crowd was shut up.

    Eh... I thought Allen shaded it with the power shots, a lot of Makh's shots were to the forearms. But whatever, not going to argue about it.

    Horrendous reffing in this bout. Ridiculous amount of holding from Mak.

    I still don't understand why Allen didn't aim for the left hook more. Mak was wide open for it.

    Class bout either way.
