    May well be. I’m being hypercritical but having them sit in those cars was stupid too. They aren’t conducive for keeping a fighter loose a ready. I immediately spotted a risk of them stiffening up a bit. Commentator said the atmosphere was quite humid too so without the AC in a normal arena it may well have affected the fighters.

    The comparison between the scale and action of that one compared to tonight is astonishing.

    Supposed to be a historic event, turned out to be the worst card ever. Teo might not have stunk out the joint like Ryan and especially Haney's ATG stink out but it still sucked the life out of the event and gave off a foul stench.

    Haney ran like a thief in the night and was terrified of a washed JCR and Ryan just lost to club fighter Rolly and just meekly rolled over (pun intended) and accepted defeat :facepalm:

    You want to put on a historic boxing event you fill the card with British fighters :deal:

    I looked and I thought the 90 bucks for the double header was a good value for those that subscribe.

    stuck watching 2 and a half men..

    He’ll play the mental health card and get back on the juice, finding a way to get past the drug tests.

    Absolutely - 100 percent. Awful prep for a big event of any kind - never mind a sporting event. All that warming up to just go sit down for a while, and in a controlled environment. Terrible for the flow.

    Teo did his thing and actually looked impressive beating a previously unbeaten fighter in a fight that some of us thought would be competitive. I give Teo credit for being the only watchable fighter of this card.

    Roids and good stylistic match ups.

    Ryan will likely still beat Haney imo as he has no power to deter him whatsoever.

    Glad I only paid for half of a weekend of stinkers...

    Scull is going to be a VERY negative fighter like he was vs Shishkin, make it a snooze fest because he is long enough to do so, and Canelo will get an easy decision ...

    Mate all the fake maniac act doesn’t fool me. He probably is on the coke like most in those celebrity circles but he’s not as bad as he makes out. He was sort of pretending to be like Nate Diaz. He’s as much an influencer and YouTuber as he is a boxer and he was just boosting his profile with all of that.

    He was clearly roided up vs Haney (I’d still bet Haney is on stuff) but he’s not risked it here and it showed massively.

    Rolly has packed some serious mass on and he obviously just has a bad style for Garcia coz he beat him up in that sparring footage too. In all fairness to Rolly he’s only lost two fights early in his career but I never see him being a stand out champion.
    Teofimo has had a few gifts at LWW he lost to Martin and drew with Ortiz for me but he showed quality and levels tonight.

    Ryan has the ability to rebuild like Teofimo did after the loss to George Kambosis but I don’t think he has the heart.
