Really Tony should never have been in there he'd been sick hadnt been able to train properly was overweight had to sweat it off but was sure he could still beat Mosely. With the shindig with Richardson etc he didnt have a chance. If he'd been 100% might have been a different story

Wlad Joshua. This was a decisive fight that turned Joshua in a true cash cow ''brand'' and media false idol. Wlad had a chance to derail the train and failed us all with his infuriating caution after concussing the false idol, despite having bombs in both hands. What's worse, Wlad was more smug than ever in the lead up, with his flashcard prediction sewn into his robe. Imagine thinking you should be cautious and box to win rounds at Wembley during an event designed to turn Joshua into the biggest brand, and also box to outlast a guy in his twenties when you are forty. Kovalev Canelo. Kovalev sells his soul, fights compromised in multiple ways against an obviously enhanced tank Canelo. His new point fighting ''amateur'' style encouraged by Buddy means that Canelo is under no real threat against what used to be the most dangerous puncher at LHW. Kovalev doesn't have the engine to point fight for 12 rounds, tires and is shockingly one-punched to spaghetti by a guy who fought a Hatton brother. A tragedy all round. Kovalev Ward II. Kovalev is robbed of champion status and then agrees to more bent terms in the rematch. Snake Jackson considers jumping ship to Ward's team in the lead up. He then gives Ward inside information about his fighter's vulnerability to body attack. Kovalev fights poorly and then Ward interprets Snake Jackson's body attack to mean testicle attack and the bent referee bizarrely calls off the fight without even allowing a KD, despite the fact the fight ending punches were not headshots.
Loads of fights I hate for different reasons. Reid/Ottke for the atrocious referee which made it clear from the start the fix was in. Hopkins/Smith Jr. He'd beaten the ravages of time for so long but to finally see him look truly old and shot was sad to see. Marquez/Gainer. Horrible fight to watch, don't think I ever seen such a cowardly display from a boxer, in Gainer, was literally scared to throw a punch. Then tops off an awful display by again recklessly going in with his head and getting cut resulting in a technical decision, something that happened vs Seda the year before when he did the exact same thing. Recently watched Pacquiao/Sanchez and that was another horrible fight with Sanchez using Pacs testicles as a speed bag for several rounds while the ref after deducting 2 points ignored at least another half a dozen low blows.
He ducked Pacquiao for 6-7 years He was never going to fight Pacquiao before he had declined ... Nobody cares if he beat an old damaged Pacquiao ... At the end of the day that was the absolute worst superfight I've ever seen ... I don't even think I watched the entire thing I just turned it off and made better use of my valuable time over watching Mayweather backpedal and potshot an old injured Pacquiao
Abner Mares vs. Joseph Agbeko. I’ve never seen so many BLATANT low blows. There is even a clear as day low blow that was called a legit shot and counted as a KD. Then after the fight they show the ref Mora a replay of the nut shot KD and he immediately says it was a legit shot.
