Really enjoyed the other fights of the evening. Fantastic for women's boxing to be given joint top billing as well. Taylor got lucky imo but I'm not expert just a casual fan of the sport.

Totally agree but not just the Saudis that are putting on big fights. It’s been across the board but sadly some fighters don’t get the recognition they should. One of the biggest fights late last year or this year was Stephen Fulton vs inoue and apart from people watching inoue nobody knew how good Fulton was.

No problem with casual fans honestly but sometimes casual fans are a massive problem within boxing too. I thought Taylor won it by two rounds at least but also can see a point for Serrano to get it. They gel so well, both fights have been high quality.
Been intrigued with Curtis woodhouses videos on Taylor today. He’s an absolute danger but feel he’s got a point. She’s one of the dirtiest fighters ever. Wouldn’t surprise me if she was a kopite?

Probably more of a nostalgic fan than a casual fan if that makes sense. The Serrano camp definitely could have been more dignified after the fight, poor from them.

Honestly? Go back and have a look at the ladies fight game in the mid and late 90's. There's a Hollywood film in it somewhere, 'Mad Maxine, beyond the headbutt dome".
I think I should add, I didn’t mean I thought she was one of the dirtiest fingers ever haha. That’s what he was saying. When he put his reasons behind it I could see why he was saying it.
I’ll check that out mate. I was to young back in the 90s so can’t remember it like you oldies.

I see it as a problem of profile. We had the time of the heavyweight golden era, the politics, the characters, the sheer brutality, and the charisma and the front page headline taking fast talking greatest ever. That elite level was supported by a bunch in silver medal place that would grace any top line era of any other time. It wasn't that good, it was Better!!!
We got another dose of top flight stuff in a division in the 80's, the middle/super middles, and the thing was, they fought, and fought a lot.
Our cup did runneth over.
The 90's turned up, and a lot of work done in the 80's started to pay off, the end of Bruno, the rise of the baddest man on the planet, the quiet footsteps of the last man since Usyk to combine the lot, we had Naz, we had Benn and Eubank and Watson and McClellan and Collins and that bled into Thompson and Calzaghe and the follow on for Froch and Hatton.
Around about this time someone invented smart phones and social media. Now we've got the town dumbass mouthing off and claiming to be a one man army and a bunch of twits* that've never heard the name Marvellous Marvin Hagler eating up every word. It's a sad state of affairs where the loudest most stupid person in the room gets the attention. It seems this phenomenon is not restricted to just boxing or just sport I hasten to add.
I referenced it earlier, dope, designer steroids and blood boosters. People get hurt fighting, it's not a tickling contest, and when the opponent can fight 20 rounds without breaking sweat it's a hard old game.

An older guy dealing with age and a young kid not wanting to get Chris Tuckered by an old man with a lifetime of street cred. Thank eff it was free on Netflix and we weren't ripped off by yet another PPV farce. Was weird getting flashes of old Mike with seeing some of his ring idiosyncrasies.

Makes you wonder what he did with all the money he earned, because he didn't spend it well looking after himself. Should do one of those Mike Tyson mysteries episodes and go looking into his former finances.
