    Not everyone is, of course, but how many events are marred by pointless violence? It happens far too often. It spoils the night for most people.

    Not even watched this one, not in the slightest bit interested. The format was exciting and innovative at first. Now it has ran it's course and is uninspiring. Judging by the fact 4 fights have already taken place but there are only 5 pages in the RBR most people feel the same....

    As Prizefighters go it's actually been alright.

    How was that the crowds fault? Do you not read the papers or news reports these days?

    Round 1

    Evans is using the same approach from the quarters, bringing it straight to Thompson. Evans rocks Thompson with a series of right hands and left hooks! Thompson is looking to establish the jab but Evans is diving in past them. Leaning clinch. Thompson looks a bit bewildered. Thompson leans back and waves his jab, pawing it some. Soft looping right by Thompson, twisting into it. Evans is looking much fresher. Evans moves in, presses against Thompson and bounces off while Thompson tries to catch him with the jab. Flurry to the body by Evans. Thompson is flinching away from the body shots and trying to roll his jab out while creating space. Hard slashes by Evans, right and left hooks from outside. Thompson starts to settle in, getting the jab going from outside. Triple hacking right by Thompson. Clinch, and tug of war until they jerk free without referee aid needed.

    10-9 Evans

    It wasn't.

    That was a cheap shot, dramatizing the point to exaggeration.

    Honestly, though, you can't argue that hooliganism in soccer isn't worse than anything you ever find among pugilistic spectators.

    Round 2

    Thompson is jabbing and leaning back, jogging a bit to the side to reset every few. Evans is throwing straight combos to the body diving down, then snapping up to hook. Thompson is giving it away. Evans is busier and putting more venom into his shots.

    10-9 Evans

    20-18 Evans
