anybody watch the Selby Kambosos fight before the main event. Couldn't believe the commentary I was hearing from Andy Lee and Nick Halling. They had Selby winning by about 8 rounds. I'm no boxing expert but it was clear as day Kambosos was miles ahead. Bookies had Kambosos at 1/5 going into the last round yet Andy lee thought Selby was somehow ahead by 8 rounds. How can they get it so wrong. Kambosos won 118-110 and 116-112 on two cards.

Yes, was mental. Couldn't believe it was a split decision. Was the most one sided fight of the night.

In absolute fairness that was a very tough fight to score, and it's proof that people score fights differently on different criteria.

Selby was doing all the work, but was gaining very little and very little shots were landed by either of them until the final 4 rounds.

I scored it 118-110 Kombosos the same as judge #1 because I scored it on ring control and the better punches landed. Judge #3 scored it 115-113 in favour of Selby and I wouldn't call it bad judging either, it's because the first 8 rounds were super hard to score.

I do agree some fights can be very hard to score but maybe its just me I thought even in the early rounds he was clearly better. You only had to watch the body language of the 2 fighters at the end of the 12th round. Kambosos threw his hands up straight away to celebrate and Selby didnt. Commentators tried to pass it off as kambosos attempting to sway the judges but it was a comfortable win.

Povetkin hospitalised with COVID, fight is obviously off.

But now we're in a situation where Whyte is looking for a fight and Fury is looking for a fight...

Whilst I'd love to see that fight, I think it would be too risky for Fury to consider it at the moment so I would doubt it happens right now and Fury ends up fighting Kabayel.

Katie doesn’t have the power sure but her skills and movement is what makes her stand out.
It’s quite similar to mayweather

Outstanding boxer, her ability is unrivaled, and a lovely person with it also, she’s planning on sticking around a while which will keep a lot of the others ducking and diving her
Just because it's tradition does not make it right
