    So I accept a close win to Joshua, for the record. But- calling all experts which are numerous lurking the forums......what the hell is the ettiquette regarding a boxers tape being loose?! I was yelling at the ref to Stop the fight and fix it yet he CLEARLY allowed joshua to waggle a foot of it at the end of his jab for minutes at times. Never..ever seen a ref allow detached tape to wave around in a fight for a couple of rounds. Even AJ was lookingat him tThinking why he isnt stoppping the fight. Congrats to aj nonetheless

    The ref was terrible in my view.
    The loose tape was annoying, but everytime the fight went close the ref stopped it.
    Both had punches after the 'Break' because the ref screamed it every time it got close. It's a HW fight were inside fighting is done very often.
    The fight was not as entertaining as I hoped, and the ref was one of the reasons.
