    Wonder why Carlos Takam's corner weren't telling him that he has a better resume than Joseph Parker between rounds:rofl

    Never heard Banks tell Wlad that his resume is better than Fury's either...weird

    The vast majority of the time the fighter with the better resume wins. This excludes old/shot guys of course.

    People who say resume counts for nothing in the ring have absolutely no clue what they're talking about.

    A very good case for that is Salido vs Lomachenko.

    I'm assuming this means a situation where a fighter beats someone with a better or more established resume than them?

    Duran vs Buchanan

    Jones Jr. Vs Toney
