Martin Gethin lost a 4 rounder yesterday!

Obviously I'm not glad Gethin lost as he's from round here and a good lad but I do agree with you so many shows I get really annoyed when a "journeyman" so clearly deserves the decision but its given the local prospect.

 

Agreed - Long is no idiot. I was in line with him at the end of the Evans fight and although I thought he'd lost, he was clerly upset if the rude word I saw him mouth was anything to go by.

 

What is the point of having a fight like this when all it is, is a risk. You can get cut, one punch ko etc

This is why fighters should fight big fights all the time. If they are champs, they will have enough mandatories to give them easier pay days. I don't buy that easier pay day ****. If Vazquez of Marquez wanted a rest after career ending wars then yes but I don't agree with big fights then easier fights. If the fight weren't unbelievably hard - NO REST!
