That was the best heavyweight fight I've seen in a long long time. Boxing really needed that. I would love to see a rematch.

Let them fight inside & he even gave both guys an extra breather after rounds by get a minute amount of water mopped up & the other was him pulling up whyte's trunks. Both guys were clearly gassed at those points i actually thought that was a great move because he knew he was witnessing a great fight. At the final bell he was the first guy clapping after the fight.

There wasn't much for the referee to do, fight was suprisingly clean. Apart from the after the bell shots in like the 9th

Also, being motivated CAN make great fights but by no means whatsoever does it guarantee great fights. Lots of fighters are motivated and by many different things. Most of the motivation is money while some of it is pride, legacy, respect, revenge, etc etc. Regardless, motivation means nothing unless it enhances your performance in the ring. Lots of fighters were motivated to beat Mayweather but most of those fights were lackluster and forgettable.
