Boxing 2026

I thought Price lost that.

Riley looked impressive, and away we go...

[dave.woodhall]

It's shite.

[cdbearsfan]

That was a mad round.

[Gareth]

Not a lot of boxing, lots of slugging and leaning

[cdbearsfan]

Enjoyed that. Defending is boring.

[Gareth]

It was entertaining enough, neither of them left anything out there

[manic-road]

Two heavyweights that gave it their all, not pretty but I thought it was entertaining.

[dave.woodhall]

It got better as it went on but both fighters and the ref should retire.

[Rory]

Didn't follow it. Correct decision?

Edit: was Wilder by split decision correct, not 'did I make the correct decision by not following'?

I don't know. It was impossible to score and the ref was appaling.

Ah, sounds like Ali/Frazier! Just about to watch highlights. I have high hopes for a classic.

[Rory]

Oh. I see.

Looked like two sikh lads from my school going at it.

(I say 'sikh' not as a reflection on adult sikhs, because every grown-up sikh I've met has been polite and charming. But their teenage boys are sometimes quite aggressive, from my school experience, and think that a £2 bangle will act as a knuckle duster, so get into fights and approach a fight by throwing wild hooks in the hope of landing anything.)
