    He had clearly won every one of the 91 seconds of the fight until the stoppage.

    To think that a slip ruined everything!

    Arthur Abrahams “decision” to knock the **** out of Andre Dirrell while he was on his knees after a slip, effectively ruining his career in the process… (note, anyone would seriously hurt someone in this position, but factoring Abrahams ATG level power makes it much worse to me.)

    Following a bad decision loss against Carl Froch, of course!

    Yes, if Bivol did only slightly less well than he did do, they would’ve robbed him Noel. The scorecards for that fight were horrendous.

    Eye On The Ring’s controversy rating for that fight is 100%, and rightly so.

    The fear on Spinks’ face before the fight had nothing to do with Tyson, rather, it was due to Michael’s concerns about being robbed - which he quite clearly was.

    I was visiting a mate at Moranbah. While he was out the mine working i was at the Black Nugget hotel watching one of my favorite fighters try to get revenge against SRL. How badly i wanted Hearns to get that decision. Tho the fight was pretty close and not a highway robbery Hearns got shafted. There was only one winner and Ray noted just that at multiple functions and via multiple interviews. It was a great event live when you had an enormous amount of skin in the game.
