    One of them had to win
    Probably ended up a draw, especially if they fought in the U.K.

      All the Warrington's, Smith's, Timothy's, Gregory's, Campbell's etc. never have any special effects. They are good fighters who do well for themselves but they fall short at the top of the top level. Fury and AJ aside of course.

      You need to have something. Above average athleticism, hand speed, chin, power, heart., cardio, technical ability etc. there are so many things, and it comes as no surprise to anyone that knows boxing that these guys will ALWAYS lose at the elite level. It's sad but true, there are levels to this. I wish them well and hope they can retire with a lot of cash, but the truth is the truth I'm afraid.

        Eubank Jr over Korobov maybe? Granted it was a freak injury.

        I think it started rapidly declining to me at least ever since Carl Froch retired.
        When he was active British boxing was thriving but its been downhill ever since he decided to hang them up.

        I don't want to sound like a complete fanboy but British boxing badly needs another Carl Froch to come along.

          All three judges scored it 100-100

              Wtf is with this anti-British rhetoric??

              All i ever hear is how all British fighters supposedly have a glass jaw. Carl Froch? Prince Naseem?

                One symptom of PTSD is that all conscious memory of the painful, traumatic experience which caused the disorder is erased from the mind of the sufferer.

                  At least it wouldn't end with a UK stoppage.

                    Was it Frampton vs santa cruz 1 like 4 years ago?
                    Boxing started in England.
