Is it just me or is the sport a real shit show at the moment.
What with all this misfits shit, poor referring, poor scorers, top fighters not wanting to fight each other, positive PED tests left, right and centre.....can't remember it ever being this bad.

Cracking finish from Eggington the fight before

The “expert” female commentator disagreed Was clearly out of it from punch one then took half a dozen after |

The “expert” female commentator disagreed She is wrong then. I'm no expert in boxing, love watching it though, but even I was shouting at the telly for the ref to jump in. He definitely took unnecessary punishment. Did you see the reaction of Pigfords trainer as he ran in the ring after chucking the towel? He was fuming with the ref. |

Yep absolutely and yeh I was sarcastically saying she was wrong. That could have and could still be serious. He didn’t look with it at all after the fight |

Okolies tactics are weird, being aggressive and seemingly wasting loads of energy but he keeps holding after every flurry.

I'd give him the first 3 rounds though. He’s definitely “working” but this was said in the pre fight predictions. Billham Smith wasn’t going to let anything go till Okolie gassed. He’s not really been caught yet…… |

It's got to be very close It’ll be interesting if it goes to points. Clearly Okolie has done the most work but will those lost points be enough? |

Fair point, but Smith hasn't done anywhere near enough work to deserve the win. |
