    That's why I brought it up, because he does a lot of sneaky sketchy borderline stuff, and makes his fouls or near fouls look organic and incidental, he's like a front foot heavy brawling KO artist B-Hop or Ward.

    Oh well, if the refs can’t do their job then I’m not going to blame Beterbiev for it.

    How the **** can you drop your left hand when going after Beterbiev? To say that It’s an amateur mistake is an understatement.

    What the **** are you talking about? I don't give a **** about their personalities on the mic. I'm saying Beterbiev's in ring style is somehow yes... boring as hell. Smith's isn't.

    So I guess you're totally cool with Ward speedbagging Kovalev's testicles, because Tony Weeks is a shitty ref?

    Well that can be said for practically any fighter with a fan base. I've heard wild things about lots of name fighters so what's new. I'm pretty sure we'll hear about Arthur ko'in "paper chin" Wilder and AJ soon enough, lol. Live in reality and don't swing stupidly the other way either.

    Dude if you think violent brawling, knockdowns and knockouts are boring as hell you must high or just plain biased.

    This is what every boxing fan wants to see.....except you

    @CST80

    I don't see any rabbit punches here or behind-the-head shots.

    Or maybe you're blowing what you saw vastly out of proportion, or are easily entertained. Most fans wanted an all out war of attrition, a bloody slugfest that went several rounds, with both men trading knockdowns along the way, with one man coming out victorious with a definitive KO.

    Instead we got Joe overshooting, Beterbiev sidestepping and clubbing him on the side of the head a few times, and anticlimactically winning by TKO in 2. Oh joy!

    The behind the head shot he landed did make me 'mad' a bit when it happened. It's bad enough when it happens from a regular fighter. But when you punch as hard as Biev it makes it even worse to do.

    Borderline! Or did you miss that on purpose? You do seem a little dense tonight.

    It's not Beterbiev's fault that Joe was not good enough.

    He shouldn't even have had the belt in the first place.
