MMA fighters are not gonna be so quick for crossover fights going forward after Joshua literally took the soul of the most feared man in mma.
Joshua can't draw flies to s**t in America, he is totally and utterly hopeless in that department. He will be defeated for the 4th time in his next fight.
Coming up this Sunday from the O2 Arena: Fabio Wardley vs Frazer Clarke Florian Marku Chris Kongo Callum Simpson vs Dulla Mbabe Viddal Riley Mikael Lawal Alen Babic vs Steve Robinson Ben Whittaker vs Leon Willings TV - Sky Sports Main Event
It’s pretty clear he knew what he took. Shame really. Had some potential big fights lined up, although I don’t rate him at world level.
Marku v Kongo = BEEEEEEF ! These 2 really don't like each other . A schooling by Kongo , clever nights work . Clarke v Wardley first 4 rounds is a good tear up , neither anywhere near world level but still a decent watch so far .
Can't say that main event wasn't entertaining Absolute slugfest. Both men did well to get through the 12 rounds. Draw seems fair but Clarke will be gutted not to get the win.
Tremendous contest. I had Clarke winning it by two rounds (115-113) but he will curse that deducted point in the seventh for some time.
yeah I had it to him by 2, maybe even 3 points. He won most of the rounds for me. Even the close ones he was doing the cleaner work. Will happily watch it again, though I doubt it will be for a while. Wardleys gonna be out for a while
115 to 112 with the deductions means that judge had Clarke winning 8 rounds and Wardley winning 3 with one 10-10. That’s a bit of a stretch for me.
I don't think any of the cards can be considered terrible but I don't see the 115-112 card as a stretch either. I scored it seven rounds to four to Clarke with the seventh even at 9-9 because of the deduction and there were several rounds that you could make cases to score either way.
Clarke won IMO but both men earned their money in that fight. I thought Wardley would blow Clarke away, but the better boxer should have got the decision over the swinger. I don't think the low blow was "Dubois low".
sounds about right to me. Clarke won most of the rounds fairly clearly tbh. There weren’t many rounds that were difficulty to score. He landed far more ‘scoring punches’ and battered wardley throughout the whole fight. Wardley had a couple of really strong rounds mid fight and I scored him 1 or 2 more rounds. the fight was incredibly competitive but Clarke should feel a little aggrieved. I thought he clearly won a close fight
