48 years old and just won yet another world title.
Total d1ckhead but what a fighter.
Did you watch the Abraham v Smith fight PB? I've seen some repugnant scorecards in my time but all 3 scorecards are up there from that fight, utter disgrace. Boxing's my favourite sport, but I sometimes wonder what the point is sometimes.
And then boxings ugly side shows itself in Germany with Paul Smith on the receiving end of an absolute farce of a decsion.
Yep shocking.Quote:

Not the 1st time this has happened and won't be the last though. It's been really bad in Germany the last couple of years as well.
He was blowing out his arse from the middle of the 8th. 10 round margin is beyond anything I've seen, can't think of a worse scorecard, I also had it by 2 to Smith. I'm gutted for Paul, that was a world class level performance. No wonder German fighters don't travel.
Not so sure he won but the margin on the scorecards? WowQuote:

Anyone watching tonights boxing, if the lad from Leeds get beat here there could be a riot.
Ricky Burns on just before this fight, won it but looked a poor Burns.
Josh Warrington is certainly a lad to watch out for, he will pack out Elland Road if he gets the chance to fight there, great atmosphere from the Leeds crew.
Burns looks shot. Looked ok in the 1st couple of rounds but huffed and puffed against a total journeyman.
Warrington looked very impressive.

Bit of a beating for Hopkins last night.
Took Kovalev the 12 rounds which considering he has never been beyond 8 before and Hopkins is 49 is no mean feat. Says he has no plans to retire either.
