    Look at the marking on their faces alone! This is destroying the sport as a spectacle. Booth is insufferable

    Ridiculous, the irony of the commentators not calling it for what it is given some of the claims of robbery and how fighting Klitschko in Germany was always in an impossible task etc. Kiko robbed

    Pathetic scoring at least Eddie is telling the truth about it. I thought Barrett won the last 4 convincingly but I’m struggling to see what else he won before that. Don King line there let’s do it again. Even Barrett is embarrassed by that

    I thought Barrett won the 1st, and the 5th (I think I've the right round), and the 9th, and either the 10th or 11th, but Kiko won the rest.

    There was quite a few close rounds and also a lot of rounds clearly for Kiko.
    Eddie and the commentators speaking honestly, a round or two in it at most (if you scored for Barrett) or else for Kiko (and potentially wide if you give him the closer rounds ).

    118-111 is ridiculous !

    Bizarre interviews I thought , he didn’t really let any of the 3 finish their points

    Hearn calling it out, probably to help sell 2nd fight. Eddie I'm sure knows all 3 judges very well for many years!

    The interviews were a mess they didn’t know what to do. Why didn’t the idiot let Hearn bull**** away another minute than have dead noise. So amateur looking.

    Hearn is a disgrace..

    He should stick to promoting and quit slating professional judges that he uses for fights to pretend to the public that he gives a fook

    I thought the peaky blinder himself, Mack the Knife, might have taken a back seat on Sky commentary with everything that is happening lately.

    There's a man who knows where the bodies are buried, literally :eek:

    So here is the MTK / DAZN boxing news for this week:

    Daniel Kinahan is still not involved in crime and Zelpha Barrett has won his fight with Kiko Martinez.

    And I've just won the lottery.

    WOW!! Warrington looks fooked


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭generalgerry


    I had the last round a 10-8 for Warrington (by tonight's judging).


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,910 ✭✭✭normanoffside


    Some comeback from Warrington in the 5th.
    I think the ref should have stopped it in the 4th though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,645 ✭✭✭squinn2912


    He’s up against it. Lara needs to be careful though


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,944 ✭✭✭duffman13


    WOW!! Warrington looks fooked

    Some count he got, he was in an awful state


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,910 ✭✭✭normanoffside


    I don't like how Warrington is twitching his neck in this round. Something looks off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,363 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Should the ref have stopped that earlier? It looked very close


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,910 ✭✭✭normanoffside

    He would have stopped Lara. That's for sure


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,966 ✭✭✭Big Ears


    I don't like how Warrington is twitching his neck in this round. Something looks off.

    He's probably a bit concussed.
    He was shook to his boots and has taken some heavy shots since.

    He's coping impressively well considering.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,645 ✭✭✭squinn2912


    IMAGINE! A co-commentator who is there to score the fight “I haven’t been scoring it”

    I've seen this kind of thing before, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think he's in a good place.

    What round we in?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭carltonleon


    8th


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,645 ✭✭✭squinn2912


    I can see Lara getting caught out here he’s very hittable. Mouth wide open. He had a great 8th again though I reckon he’s 3/4 points up


  • Registered Users Posts: 54,495 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Banjoed!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,549 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    Wow

    That’s an upset


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,910 ✭✭✭normanoffside


    I hope Josh will be OK


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,363 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Leeds crowd went silent on the KO! :pac:

    Just joking. Hope he is okay


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭carltonleon


    He is up, thank ****. Didn’t’ like the look of it when the stretcher was brought in

    Warrington was a sorry sight in the end up. Very heavy ko. Dunno if the ref did him any favours not pulling it in the third
