    Yeah no kidding.

    Glad you (finally) watched the same fight I did. Don't know what commentary you had, the UK audio was trying to big up Fitz a bit, presumably he's now favoured because of high hopes for the Fowler rematch.

    Sucked to see Cheesman reinvent himself and stop leading with his face only to get stiffed on the cards and also by several here.

    One of the lowpoints of last year as @CST80 rightly notes. :(

    I always tune out commentary. I'll drift in and out listening for the sheer entertainment value, but my scoring remains in a sterile field unpolluted by what talking heads on TV have to say. :thumbsup:

    From memory on that one they had to start self editing as it became clear Cheeseman hadn't read the script. They presumably have instructions from their producer to start preparing the audience to start disregarding the evidence of their own eyes in favour of some quickly cobbled together narrative about the guy who is losing doing the 'more effective work' etc.
