Any boxing fans?

WOW... that Sanchez knockout of Torrez just now was devastating. Frankly I thought Torrez would take him.

What about the early stoppage in the fight between Usyk and Rico? The bell already rang and he was actively defending himself and moving forward.

Verhoeven was ahead, IMHO. The 2 judges who had it even... that was just ridiculous.

I get people who think it was a premature stoppage; I thought so in the moment live. But watching replay he was not throwing back and he was getting hit hard. If it had been stopped a minute earlier in the clock I don't think anyone would have said anything.

And if it were up to me Verhoeven would get a rematch before Kabiyel.

Not really a boxing fan.
But I have stared watching the bkb bare knuckle boxing that they have on tv now.
I like it.
Wish it would have been a tv sport when I was under 25.

I am obviously not neutral but the stoppage was after the bell, even some of the punches. Either way we as fans were robbed of a 12th r round.
Hurtfully the rematch is a kickboxing contest
