    To be fair to Steve Gray, the referee, he gave a clear guideline on what he would consider a low shot when he gave his final instructions. Where I think Clarke might be justified in feeling aggrieved about it is that I don't remember Gray giving him a verbal warning before taking the point off.

    Yeah annoyingly. If it was the o2 I’d be going along, it was a ****ing cracking slugfest.

    :laugh: Always liked joe Parker. Really happy that he’s getting some big wins and proper recognition. Outside of Joshua, usyk and possibly Whyte, he’s one of the few HWs that will fight any contender, and now he’s reaping the rewards.

    personally I’d like to see him avenge the Joyce loss. He wins that fight if he’s mobile like his last 2 fights. And if he wins that he should be looking at a title shot, not a shot dillian white

    he is unlikeable but he is also a very good boxer. Great balance and reactions, quick hands with a nice punch selection. He has the ability to be an elite level fighter, just need to see if he has the heart and durability (his chin seems pretty good so far)

    I’m generally not a fan of showboating. I hated nas but whitacker regularly makes me chuckle with some of the shit he does. Hopping 360 on one leg mid fight is just crazy but also quite funny. He is gonna pay for this when does it against high level opponents

    Jordan Gill is finished - Zelfa Barrett was excellent. Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney next week.

    More drivel. Like how he “still drives around in a Passat.”

    If Usyk beats him in the second fight I think he retires. His ego wouldn’t recover.

    He'll retire if he loses the first.

    I’d like to think he’d honour the rematch clause, and also want to take the chance to get revenge. But you never know with him.

    Garcia has missed weight by over 3lb's for f*ck sake.

    That guy needs some serious help before his career derails. That's a huge miss of weight so now the title isn't on the line and my interest in it has gone.

    What a ****ing win that is from Garcia. Knocked Haney down 3 times on his way to a majority points decision and hands Haney his first professional loss.

    The Judges didn’t save haney this time! Just a shame garcia couldn’t be bothered to make weight.
