    1.) Early stoppages by the ref
    2.) Poor judging
    3.) Terrible matchmaking

    Add to this short notice opponents and even till TBA till 3-2 days before fight night.
    Small for boxer opponents.
    With 0 doubts already long ago over the hill opponents.

    1 The robberies/corrupt judging.

    2 Turki's increasing hold on the sport. It's becoming more and more obvious he's a very dodgy, corrupt little fella. And there's no atmosphere in Saudi. And other promoters shows have gone really weaker because boxers are waiting for a Saudi payday.

    3 the inactivity of boxers, especially heavyweights.

    When a fight is scored 116-112 and people say 'the right man won but the cards were too wide' so essentially they've disagreed over 1 round :lol:

    American MCs for domestic fights. Or worse, as somebody said the other day, a Brit MC putting a yank accent on.

    The cheating isn’t as annoying as the fighters it is acceptable to forget about them cheating. Canelo, Fury, Benn.

    Something that annoys me to no end is that we have to constantly watch and listen to Sam Jones.

    I can't tell how many times my husband and I have settled in to enjoy a good night of boxing and shortly into the broadcast the camera catches Sam Jones and then the rest of our evening is ruined.

    1) Tony Bellew with his punditry
    2) Tony Bellew when you can hear him screaming at ringside at certain fights.
    3) Tony Bellew with his ridiculous opinion that he would have beaten a prime David Haye.
