5v5: Queensbury vs Matchroom - DAZN - Fight By Fight Thread

[Iron Fister]

Yeah it's weird when he spins around like that. No idea how that first punch from Zhang spun him. Wilder has no legs though

Wilder was practicing that spin in camp.

Muscle memory

Yeah yeah I know, I said I was being harsh. Just wanted more from Deontay

Don’t mind me…..I just had to make my contribution to the ‘Do you realize?’ thingy going on in here. Lol

It’s hard to see Wilder go out like that, though.

[Damn Wicked]

Almost all those fights were entertaining. The Zhang - Wilder fight was the blandest of the bunch but it still delivered a KO, though it was slightly anticlimactic and you could see Wilder was overmatched.

It doesn't always matter if you're busier but missing while the other guy is sharp-shooting and hitting his target. At more than one point, I thought Ford might be able to get a KD but Ball showed tremendous courage and resistance. Ball won 115-113 IMO but it is not like Ford didn't have any success at all in there.

Ball was hitting Ford around the side of the head all night as well as landing loads of uppercuts. Ford was just mostly hitting gloves. Nearly every straight shot did. It was the looping shots that found their target. But mostly, they were blocked too. Ball was snapping his head back constantly in every round.

We definitely saw a very different fight. I'm just glad Ball wasn't robbed for a second time.

9 rounds to Ball? lol.

You must need glasses. Which explains a lot of your boxing takes.

We'll go over it tomorrow if you like?

[Sid-Knee]

I don't really know how to answer that.

What do you think a split decision means?

It means 2 judges go for 1 fighter, the other judge goes for the other 1.

I had Ball clearly winning. It never should have been a split. Ball was far too active for Ford who was way too inactive. A couple of good shots isn't as good as 30 while Ball is bullying him all night.

[pollywog]

Nah, he should've gotten up, hit his chest, scream like King Kong, bounce around, and overcome his brain being physically rattled. He clearly quit.

This is pro boxing. I've never done it, but I know that if it was me, I would've gotten up and actually end up KO'ing Zhang in the very same round.

Dude was conversing with the ancestors and heading towards the light when they said, 'No Warrior King of Wakanda, it is not your time'

This is actually true. Deontay Wilder has had the best coaches in the game.

[Zelda]

Where are all the Eddie fanboys who used to say Matchroom has the best stable?

We did see different fights it seems. At least we can all agree the right man won. I thought two of the judges got it right at 115-113 and only the 3rd judge tried to rob him. Ball had good success in the beginning but started to get hit in the later rounds even to the point where I thought he might be knocked down. Ball was bloodied and you do not get that from being hit to the gloves.

You need to watch it again. He definitely won the later rounds (10-12) along with the 3rd and the 7th.
