    The last one is the tie-breaker if it ends up a draw.

    Ah of course, the last thing they wanted was this running on any further.

    Quit job?

    Watch a fight finish before claiming a world champ quits.

    He was smashed to pieces to body and head.He was done.

    Without the event his fight isn't a big deal. It wasntw a bad fight to watch though it was very enjoyable and the finish was big and sudden.

    But the big story is the event as it crowns the number 1 fighter in a division, and a side said before no matter how poor a division is, being the number 1 on the planet in that weight class is still pretty impressive.

    Less impressive than Usyk unifying every feasible title claim but by the same degree it's more impress than Broners multiple title claims.

    Any ring magazine title fight should be respected regardless of the divisions depth,any final of the WSSB should be respected regardless of the tournaments depth.

    This was a good boxing match with 2 skilled competitors.All credit to Callum Smith,I hope he goes on to make some people in here look silly.

    Interestingly enough. All of the current Ring champions won the belt in 2018. (Rungvisai, Lomachenko, Budler, Usyk, Canelo and Smith)

    The S6 was a great lesson on how to do tournaments effectively.

    But i loved the S6 waaay more. It was fun seeing the guys mixing it up before getting to the semi finals. But too many injuries, replacements, random filler fights and Abraham getting to the semis due to his lone KO; it left a bit of a sour taste.
    Still a fun ride. I watch the SHO Fight Camp series every now and then again. It's ****ing great!

    Funny how Smith´s first title belt trumps Broners four belts. :lol:

    Smith just pretty much walked through a Groves who had his swag & timing back.. It looked frighteningly easy the last couple of rounds once he'd found his feet & had his man marked... Rumour is he's entering the LHW tournament next too. I think some people are just angry that its been two Europeans that have won the two tournaments to date.. & they don't need PEDs or hugs to do it either!
