    Ibf have admitted it was a mistake. Suppose they had to.
    Given that the guy was American and presumably fluent in English I find it hard to believe the mistake wouldn't have been sorted out at the time. It's the most bizarre judging of a fight I've ever seen.

    United we stand here....

    What's people's thoughts on the world boxing super series?

    It's a knockout tournament featuring crusierweights and super middleweights George groves is confirmed and 3 crusierweights including 2 world champs (not even going to try and spell their names)

    Similar to the super 6 tournament from a few years back.not sure if the weights are mixed or set a some sort of catchweight.

    If they can get more of the big names in then it will be great

    Some night of boxing tonight, Barnes, Smith, Rigondeux all before Ward V Kovalev 2

    I liked the super 6, but that's probably because I was such a big fan of Carl Froch. Anything that makes things a bit more interesting must be good.

    Well that was pretty gash all round, didn't think the German was that great, Callum Smith would knock him out as would Groves or Degale

    Hopefully he puts himself into the super series so Groves can spark him

    Smith fight was awful.

    Controversy over in America however with the ending to ward/kovalev and rigondeux/Flores fights.rematches all round I feel.

    Ward was going to be the only winner in that fight, having said that 5 low blows in a fight plus the ref stopping it rather than giving Kovalev a count was shocking

    I've only seen the stoppage so I can't comment on the whole fight.but a standing 8 count would have been the right call there?

    It was pretty even up until the last couple of rounds with Ward taking over, he genuinely hurt Kovalev a couple of times just before the stoppage, Kovalev was looking a bit gassed, I can't see how the ref didn't give a count though, shocking decision just to wave it off

    I see the ref has just said this "I stopped the fight due to Kovalev not protecting himself had I saw the shots were low I would not have stopped the fight. My mistake"

    Connor benn looks a prospect.defence needs a bit of work but still think he could go far.

    Hopefully last night is the last time we see Manny Pacquiao in a ring. The 117-111 scorecard was a joke but he looked very poor for large chunks of the fight.

    He's lost 4 of his last 9 and is getting to the stage where he looks like a man who just can't let go. He has other interests and a young family. Probably time to retire whilst still healthy.

    Felt sorry for the boy up against him, taking a fight the day before hand. Agree Benn looked good though.

    Yeah heading through with a few pals. Will likely get to a pub on west side of town some time in afternoon, maybe around finnieston area. Hoping for an early finish to make the train home...doors are at 6 so should be ok. Undercard looks weak.

    Eubank jr possibly going into this as well if he beats Abraham.should be an interesting concept.

    I've booked the 1.30am bus.

    We got caught last time we were there for the Burns v Zlaticanan fight as there was barely a taxi to be seen and it was just past midnight when we got back to Queen Street. There's a big Wetherspoons at Braehead so we'll just dive in there and hopefully grab a taxi after the crowds start to clear.

    I am putting faith in uber. Probably misplaced.

    Hope Taylor knocks him out and outboxes him conviccigly beforehand to shut OD's stupid mouth up. I bet Hearn wishes he had JT over OD!

    Crolla v burns potentially.

    Would be a war.
