Official 2017 Boxing Thread: 12/16 - Billy Joe Saunders vs. David Lemieux HBO

I think some of the headbutts were questionable and in most of them Horn was the one at fault. The ref did little to warn or penalize Horn. I also thought it was weird that he kept sending Horn to his corner to have his excess tape cut off when there was not even much flailing around. It appeared to be a way to buy time for Horn when he was gassing out.

This.

I can't argue with that... I thought the stoppages lowkey helped Manny out too tho. Both dudes were GASSED.

You got a point there. Why no point deduction warning for the headbutts? And the whole tape thing, like really? 3-4 times?

So did tonights outcome convince anyone to put some bread on McGregor at +700?

 

[ForNarnia]

Manny needs to keep on fighting for a quick 8-10 mill. Have y'all seen Jinkees Instagram? Definition of Westernized Filipino woman lol.

People betting on McGregor have a lot of spare money to lose. But you know one lucky punch could change everything. If he can land one though.

I wouldn't put it past Vegas to troll Mayweather in what could be the biggest payday off his career... Sin City is crazy like that man.

Ref is the one that went viral for eating a boxers hardest shot while officiating. Homeboy just toweled his face off and kept reffing.

I do feel the ref was letting Horn get away with a little too much roughhousing and leading with his head.

 

[freakydestroyer]

I really think everyone involved was in on the fix. Pacquiao included. This bogus win got Australia hyped, and opens a whole new market for Top Rank. So if Crawford goes over there, he better not let this go to the cards.

Oh shoot, now that you mention it. I knew he looked a little familiar just couldn't put my finger on it.


Edit: Nevermind, found it

Smh ***** crazy they wouldn't let me fight him but let him go over there and loose smmfh

Also Horn definitely caught Manny with a clean Judo foot sweep in the 2nd I believe . Ref was letting everything fly

 

[DadNboujee]

These Judges are getting more and more breve,

What next?

Someone's gonna get KO'd and win the fight

Agree. Pac was way too nonchalant about everything.

How exactly does COMPUBOX determine how many punches thrown were landed? Or even how many punches were thrown in general?

Is there some kind of technology or something cause theres now way the human eye by itself can determine which ones are hit or miss...

Someone clicks a button to register every punch scored, there's a person doing this for each fighter

You'd think there was some sort of sophisticated technology behind it but nope...

That's it. [emoji]128514[/emoji]

bob arum while he sees the internet exploding in rage, boxing is a joke 

 

[mastralf]

This was a great opportunity to showcase boxing. People who normally don't watch, tuned in because it was free on tv. Unfortunately, they showcased exactly what is wrong with boxing.

I explained this to you on the last page or the page before. And didn't you used to or work at a Sportsbook. I think I PM'd you when I went to Vegas to place my first bet, 7 years ago.

Hit the thumbs up button.

You did respond to me, so thanks again. But I was asking newbie questions. I was paranoid. I probably asked you something along the lines of "Is there anyway I win and not get paid?"

Do you still work at a book? And you think this fight had even action on both sides?

I don't see the result benefiting Vegas much and doubt it had much action overall.

I quit that gig awhile back... But honestly it was probably the funnest job I've ever had. When money and alcohol is involved there's always somethin funny poppin off.
I just bet NFL & B-ball now... Cooked em in both sports last season.

This fight was a fluke... Odds on Pac were too high to try and buy money but the payout wasn't good enough for anyone to lay serious bread on Horn. The action was minimal for sure on this fight.

REPPED BTW.
