Gradovich stoppage loss over Selby

Curious on how the Venezuelan judge scored the fight? I think Red Cyclone the problem is that all of these promoters are desperate for the next big star. All these promoters are scared to invest and lose but that's how the sport of boxing is. Could careless if a promoters loses $$$ on investing in fighters but for some odd reason it's about the promoters,networks,managers and organization winning but not the fans. Make Wilder-Joshua and see how the fans tune in That I would tune in for, for a PPV price as well but sadly I don't see them making that one for a few years down the line. Like you said though these people in charge, working alongside promotions are doing themselves an injustice and essentially they're not calling fights like they should be but I doubt there will ever be anything done about this. I just grow fed-up of it, sick of Jim Watts BS amateur commentary, after several years he is still a pathetic POS that is tending to promoting overhyped fighter instead of giving his actual opinion... Say what you want about Larry Merchant but atleast at times he sounded like he gave his own opinion.

I simply can't understand how Jim Watt has that job, he is pound for pound one of the worst commentators of all time, he is ridiculously biased, I always dread having to watch a fight in sky sports because of him. I still remember his work during Froch vs Groves, Jesus you would have thought Froch ****ed his wife. The thing is that he always chooses one fighter to dickride and never changes course during the fight, even when the rhythm of the the fight changes, think of how he never gave Linares any credit. I could go on and on, but I digress, he is absolute trash and I will leave it at that.

Gradovich face looked undamaged in comparison to Mitchells :/ And to the other guy mentioning the 6th round, listen man it doesn't matter I watched it just like you but you know fine well its harsh to call a world title fight like that when the world champion is clearly willing to carry on.

Urgh sadly, I don't think we will ever get rid of that type of persona I mean its even shown in some manner towards Boxnation sponsored fighters. The opposition fighter needs to clearly outclass the promoted fighter before the commentary are even willing to praise him. That in my opinion is not what we should expecting from 'professional' commentators half the commentators haven't even laced the gloves up and experienced a real fighting scenario themselves.

Yeah, I think Gradovich would have still lost but he never looked like he was troubled by the punching power of Selby, You must have missed the sixth round where he was visibly shaken then. :lol1: He got utterly outclassed from start to finish and had zero momentum at the time of the stoppage.

The commentators were terrible haha They absolutely gave no credit to Linares only when he stopped Mitchell. Then hearing Jim Watt saying the ref should of stopped the fight from a accidental headbutt by Linares when in reality it was a punch wtf. Jim watt saw it was cause by a punch on the replay but still was crying it was a headbutt. That shows the judges were hugely on Mitchell's favor. Terrible for the sport when you have bias refs,commentators,doctors and commissions.

I am a Brit, and British Refs are bias as ****. So are judges to some extent. Unfortunately the refs know who pay them.

I didn't think it was that bad, but after watching these fights I they are worse than Al Haymon and company when it comes to shady stuff. Commentators are the worst I have ever heard and that is saying a lot(biased as ****, I thought Jim Watt was going to enter the ring and start slurping Selby at some point ), and the referees, judges, and doctors were obviously paid off. I appreciate British boxing, the crowds are always into it, but the event was ****ing pathetic,too much corruption. Lmfao, Jim Watt makes me sick to be part Scottish he has to be one of the worst commentators hands down! I cannot stand that guy. I just think If Mitchell was allowed to fight with the blatant facial injuries that he had then so should have Gradovich and to add to another point why in **** was two world title fights held before a hype job fighting a bum that had 3 losses in the trot? Yet us Brits want to call Wilder a hype job? I'm just calling it down the line is all.

Yeah, I think Gradovich would have still lost but he never looked like he was troubled by the punching power of Selby but as is said who knows what might have happened an entire fight can be changed by just one punch. I'm certainly not a fan of matchroom at all, they have a lot more dodgy stuff happening than Al Haymon promoted fighters. Compare the faces though Mitchell left eye (I think it was left) was near bulged out from the swelling, he was taking a beating the entire fight yet some dodgy ass judge had him 6 rounds ahead :lol1: I'm just so glad Linares got the stoppage before he got robbed by them, I didn't think it was that bad, but after watching these fights I they are worse than Al Haymon and company when it comes to shady stuff.

Excellent point and perfectly true. If you compare the two stoppages and the extent of the injuries, Gradovich was barely cut compared to Mitchell's face being completely rearranged and bleeding heavily. Just reeks of more underhanded shenanigans from the shady Matchroom promotional outfit. They're starting to make Don King look like Mother Teresa.
