Just got back from my lads first fight.  Think I was more nervous than him!

Joshua really is just a straight acting kid no frills and tassles he doesnt fall into all the silly stuff that is popular with fighters these days he has the mindset that if he is good enough he will

It could have gone either way for me , I think Haney did the cleaner more eye catching work but I also thought Loma coming on in the later rounds might have been just enough to swing it for him . I wouldn't call it robbery...

Agreed....i thought Loma just about deserved the nod simply because in an otherwise very even fight he had Haney in more trouble than Haney had him in ( 9th or 11th round was it i forget now ).....but it wasnt a robbery Loma gave too many rounds away waiting too long to get off....the 116 - 112 was poor but 115 - 113 either way i wouldnt of argued.

Its never been any different at that level thats part of the reason i lose interest in fighters when they go beyond domestic level.....our BBBOC are not perfect they make mistakes but they are not inherently corrupt like the Nevada Commission....Las Vegas judges generally fall in line with what Arum or Heyman want....one of the judges Dave Moretti was called corrupt by Larry Holmes after the first Holmes/Spinks fight that was in 1985 !!....if the geezer isnt corrupt he's senile but again thats how it go's at that level everything is geared up towards the money and on this occasion Haney was the money fighter....right down to the weigh in who's ever heard of weighing in 36 hours before a fight thats a day and a half to rehydrate,hence why Haney looked a bag of bones on the scales but full and strong in the ring but Loma just looked the same,4 handpicked officials and so on.

 CANELO DOES the rehydrate clause all the time the size from weigh in to when he gets in the ring he always looks huge

Rehydration clauses are one thing but this wasnt even a clause with check weights and so on....24 hours is normal but they managed to stretch that to 32 hours....and then on the day of the weigh in actually weighed in 4 hours earlier than scheduled making it 36 hours !.....by the time Haney got to the ring he was a middleweight....lets see how he would of fared against Marvin Hagler !!!...its spoiling the game....ive said for as long as i can remember get fighters weighed in before the fight in the ring itself if you really want fair contests.

Some good fights over the weekend i thought the lad Billam Smith held it together well i think id have had to kick that c**t Okolie in the face holding on like that....thats the trouble when you rely on power and have never learned how to box and move.

Thought that lad Jack Catterall boxed beautifully i really enjoyed watching him,hopefully he go's on to world honours.

Wasnt at all surprised that lad Conlon got chinned again ive never seen what the fuss was about with him.

Can’t stand Lopez another who’s mouth let’s him down, should have focused on being great and keeping the belts when he had them instead of the hype really hope Taylor does a job on him, anyways should be a bit of a banger for the weekend

Okolie was a mess, it was frustrating to watch let alone being Billam-Smith and being wrestled every 10 seconds!
