    His opening question to Usyk - after winning a terrific rematch - was 'were the scorecards right?' I'm not sure if it was bias or just a terrible question. Also his lack of pushback against Frank Warrens sour grapes was pretty grim.
    Is this really the best we can do for an event of this magnitude?

    Adi is a decent podcaster, but a live interviewer, NO THANKS. And shared his bias with Frank about the scorecards. He crossed the line with that and lost any credibility he will have in the future.

    I thought the worst question was "how do you keep going in the second half of the fight"

    "Er, because I train?"

    The amount of airtime he gave to Warren (not that he had a choice I guess) was ridiculous, trying to create a robbery narrative just because Warren was waving the scorecard in his face.

    'Look, Fury won the first four rounds. Are you telling me he didn't win any of the last 6?!?' even though actually two judges gave Fury one of the last six, which to me was correct.

    He's horrible but the whole DAZN crew is mediocre/bad...Wish HBO was still around.

    Frank and Eddie were extremely butt hurt. Really bad stuff from them.

    I was surprised they put him out there when he sounded like he has strep throat.

    What answer was he expecting? "Yeah shoulda given Fury more rounds"

    Just thought he did a genuinely terrible job. Really squandered the moment.

    I like Ade but I'm a Brit and the pro British bias from the British media and boxing fraternity is unbearable. Not all or even most but still a lot

    Yeah, he was awful. But most of these clowns aren't much better.
