I've seen less serious cuts stop fights. End of the day we don't know what the Doc said to the ref when he looked it over?
I thought the Hrgovic stoppage was a tad premature but not our place to argue with the doctor ultimately. Not like he had any realistic chance of coming back into it either. Outcome was a formality at that point.
Michael Buffer is completely done as ring announcer. It wasn't just last night - lately he's been making a lot of big mistakes. Unfortunately. I have met Buffer many times over the years and he is a class act.
he was getting toasted lol it wasn’t like fury wallin where fury was winning most of the rounds in a bore fest. Hrgovic was being battered
Noticed for some reason he seemed desperate to cram in any old "former" title for the heavyweights last night - I'm not sure announcing Zhang as "interim WBO champion" then remembering to tag on the "former" was too great an idea. Edit: at the win, Zhang became "former WBO heavyweight champion of the interim level" ffs!
Probably because you have dealt directly with all the other rats during your time working in boxing. The longer he remains a fan the better with his resources and can do attitude.
Speaking of : Both Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia write on X (Twitter) that they have not yet received payment for their fight back in April. What a surprise ! It has always been difficult for the promoters to remember to pay the boxers.
A journo clarified this, they've been paid the actual guarantee but not the PPV sales. The promoter has 60-90 days to pay this
