Comments Thread For: Gradovich Felt Bias From British Officials in Loss

You also felt Selby's punches bouncing off your bum ass head.

You did the two step from a guy with 8 KOs

i didnt see the fight but every brit I spoke to felt Beltran was outclassed by Burns. so I have no idea what to trust without watching

Stoppage was soft but he was getting comprehensively beaten up so didn't really make a difference. Was a bit like Matthysse-Provodnikov.

No really. Provodnikov was actually landing punches

Do you really need to make everything into a debate? Can we just be uncivillised when discussing Khan/Brook? Matthysse was beating the daylight of Provodnikov in the early rounds, landed at a ratio of 4:1/3:1. Matthysse is my favourite fighter and I have footage of every single one of his televised fights including his debut.

And Provodnikov's cut was stuff of nightmares. Funnily enough Gradovich and Ruslan lived together for several years and they have a very similar style.

Watched the fight last night The stoppage was a joke , The judges scores and commentating were biased as Fuc.

There was some home cooking as expected

Gradovich was behind but he's a slow starter and should have had at least 2 rounds and should have been allowed to continue, Not a cool way to lose your belt

I agree. Seems a lot of shady stuff has been happening on Hearn cards (Beltran-Burns is a good example).

Fighters from other countries should AVOID fighting in the UK.

These days, foreign fighters are more likely to be treated fairly in Germany, Russia, the USA (except for Texas) and Japan. The UK is probably the very worst in the world for shady stuff, especially quick stoppages by referees.

If the BBB of C wasn't shady, they'd ban Ian John-Lewis from working as an official (ref or judge).

Beltran-Burns was badly judged but there have been equally bad judging in pretty much every other country, nothing unique to the UK and besides the judge that gave the worst scorecard that night was an American.

Ian John-Lewis doesn't just ref British fights so it is not just the BBBofC that is to blame for him as a referee.

I'm not sure that you could have watched the fight. Also are you a doctor? I'd really be interested in your expert opinion from your television screen in regards to the dangerousness of the cut.

Wasn't a debate and wasn't uncivilised. Provodnikov was actually landing punches and winning rounds.

Gradovich could barely hit Selby with a bag of rice. He won 1 round tops.

Thought the stoppage was early but was very dissapointed with Gradovic (or impressed with Selby).

Never really got close to Selby the whole night

I'm not a Dr, Are you?

Do you honestly believe that was a justified stoppage , especially considering what Mitchell's eye looked like the next fight
