Boxing proves, day after day, that it's simply a more dangerous version of the WWE.

This sport is corrupt, beyond repair.

Yoka is a bum, he was gifted gold, he certainly doesn't need to be gifted anything else in his career just because he's french...

In England, in a similar fight, the local boxer would have won.

Depends on the fighters, really. AJ isn't nearly as protected these days.

they protect the money men they look out of the one who is going to bring in the cash in boxing It has got nothing to do with anything but money unless someone gets in there n takes it and that is not easy to get the match up you want without paying a price (owing favors) to a promo man...........boxing answer's to boxing and nothing and no one else not even the fans only sport that treats its fans worst then there enemies

I dunno pro wrestling is pretty dangerous so much so Tyson fury has said he'd rather stick to boxing then do that again. Them bumps wrestlers take hurt like hell

Yoka just hasn't translated well to pros. He just gets outworked in these fights and he doesn't have anything really special about him. Showed to be a European level at best and at 31 years old is he really gonna change that much going forward.

I’m shocked ………..,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So the president of boxing in France thought Tony Yoka should have got the decision because he was the home fighter? I’d say he’d better step down…
