Haney is hurting at making 144

This is an interesting new development - revealing the judges and refs a few days before the fight and how much they get paid. I always wondered.

It is in fact not a great amount when considering the money involved in these fights - I'm sure Inoue is getting at least a million and probably...

[SteveM]

well that's all well and good that judges should follow the criteria but how about all judges give all dominant rounds to the dominant fighter ALL the time - there are egregious cases of giving rounds to a boxer B/ that in the eyes of the other 2 judges, and the eyes of the public that Boxer A/ clearly...

I've already said Benn isn't an elite fighter, why are you ban*ging on about it? Would be like me ban*ging on that Barrios and Rolly aren't elite fighters - but both have held world belts....

[SteveM]

I wish the beer was cheap, at $10 a pint in some pubs it's anything but. Fish and chips was a staple, now expensive due to lack of fish.
Rooster fights okaaaay.
Like Rolly and Ryan? Jake and Mike?
Yes, eubank would be starched by canelo and Benn by Ennis but he maybe can beat Barrios....

Do you live in the UK? How old are you? I live here, I'm not young, as my byline says, I'm in the UK until I can escape.
Every winter the weather is shyte, grey skies cold and rainy. Most people can't afford to go out as much as they'd like to, the UK is in fact in transition towards becoming...

[SteveM]

correct - he is an in betweener. Like Danny Garcia was between 140 and 147. This was Loma's problem vs Haney at 135 - fighting a natural ww who could boil down to 135...

[SteveM]

Because Scull is so much better?...

[SteveM]

Luckily you and your 'Eddie syndrome' are in the minority. These are not elite boxers but they delivered a compelling fight after a compelling promotion. Now we await to see if any of next week's fights provide an equally dramatic fight - it seems unlikely unless Ramirez and Haney go life and death....

[SteveM]

You would think, given the 2 failed tests, given how angry Eubank was, you'd think that more would have been said about drug testing before the fight - but I didn't hear anything once. I did see Benn sr. pass a bottle to his son in the changing room and I thought "what's in there"? - natural...

[SteveM]

Yes - many congr*ats to SceneBoxer - you are always competitive as I remember it. Also to Joseph for keeping it a tight race. And thanks to Koba, Joseph and Tata for keeping the show on the road !!

[SteveM]

you're an evil matchmaker...

[SteveM]

Barrios's best pay day is now in LOndon fighting Benn - over here nobody knows who Barrios is so won't be in a stadium....

[SteveM]

After boxing he'll be a celebrity innit? He just made 9 million - he'll inherit his dad's wealth etc - he can swing in a hammock in paradise for the rest of his days if he wants...

[SteveM]

There will be a re-match - Benn just made 5-10 times what Norman Jr. has made in his career until now. It was a wildly successful promotion. The only next fights either of them should take apart from a rematch are Barrios for Benn and Canelo for Eubank - reason being, if either get starched the rematch...

[SteveM]

I was out at a restaurant 2 hours before the fight - in birmingham, england. 3 older (retired?) couples to my let happily discussing the fight and who would win - with the waiter!
This fight crossed over to the main****** - not sure whether this is an indictment on the lack of alternative entertainment...

[SteveM]

ding!!...

SteveM
Benn KO early

dont like Eubank's lack of energy - but what do I know

[SteveM]

i did think about mentioning double bluff and triple bluff lol...
