    A lot of Wilder’s defences were pathetic

    Maloney vs Franco. Talk about a fixed farce. Maloney jabbed the **** out of him. Yet after 30 minutes of video review where they find no evidence of a head butt they rule two head butts and the fight is ruled a no contest. What a joke. Robbed him of a world title.

    Danny Green v Stipe Drews was pretty bad.

    Absolute **** fight. Drews partied with his Croatian compatriots in Perth before the fight.

    Flog fight.

    I was a person who was excited for this fight. You have to realize that, besides the Oquendo fight, which can easily be chalked up to Oquendo being boring, Chris Byrd had a string of classic fights leading up to this one (McCline, Golota, and Tua).

    The McCline fight was his most recent fight, and Byrd had a wildly entertaining comeback decision over McCline, standing his ground and outworking his opponent. DaVarryl Williamson was a puncher who kind of fought like a clown, with plenty of fun fights, like his Corey Sanders slugfest. He also had a fight go to a decision with Wlad after five rounds due to an accidental headbutt, and he actually knocked him down but ultimately lost a split decision.

    This fight had the potential to be a perfect fusion of contrasting styles, but what ended up happening was literally nothing. The only punches I remember being thrown were in the 8th, 11th, and 12th. One of the worst title fights I was actually excited for.
