That ref was a clown, let them fight ffs, any wrestling and you start docking points. He seemed to deliberately want to run the clock down.
Yeah. What an idiot for pulling them apart and making them fight again.Quote:

Ones a YouTuber ones a reality star neither is a boxer and that much was clear from that fight.Quote:

Reading this thread, I really do believe this is a case of ignorance being bliss.
they shouldn't even have a careerQuote:

My son sat and watched the whole fight and he's never watched boxing with me before. He wasn't bothered about the actual world championship fight either!Quote:

None of them, apart from those that are already boxing fans, but we all knew this.Quote:

Neither deserves an official ranking of any sorts based on last night's performance, and Froch could have buried both of them at the same time, in the same ring.
I was hoping that Jake Paul might have improved somewhat, and given us a better fight, but sadly that clearly wasn't the case. He managed to make Tommy Fury look like a boxer. That's some accomplishment to be fair, but not in a good way :hehe:
You're on a wind up. Enjoy your day.Quote:

To be fair Carl Froch is desperate for attention and Jake Paul didnt actively go looking to call Froch out it was the other way around if anything. I doubt Jake Paul had much knowledge about Froch until he was played interviews of Froch slagging him off and put on the spot.Quote:

Froch must've made more than 7 million?Quote:

In all fairness, these guys, such as Froch and that whole older brigade... They must be pretty pissed off at how much these clowns are making these days. I can understand why Froch would want in, even at 45. Easy money in the bank.
Pissed off? Or happy to step in and slap him for easy money?Quote:
