That was a good heavyweight fight between Hrgovic and Zhang.

Hrgovic winning a unanimous points decision.

Thought Hrgovic won but it was close.

Main event about to commence.

Usyk has won…by split decision.

That’s another joke…Usyk won this fight by a mile.

 
NineMiles 2022-08-20 23:12:31 

AJ losing it man!

 
Halliwell 2022-08-20 23:28:08 

In reply to NineMiles

That was bad
Wow
I mean the post match shenanigans

Good fight, better than last time
But he can’t make
He don’t have the smarts to box Usyk

His only move now is to look for Wilder

How that judge scored it for AJ big grin

 
BeatDball 2022-08-21 00:35:36 

AJ's style is to outmuscle you with sheer muscle power...the bloke is not a boxer! Go back & watch the close flurry he exacted on Ruiz, that put Ruiz on his backside for the first time ever!
confused

You should have been saying that for Usman, before the Yardie Edwards knocked the Naija out of him.

AJ didn't take up boxing until he was 18 so yeah, so he's not your quintessential exponent of the art of boxing.
Boxing saved him from a life of crime and spending years in jail.

Taking all this into account, I think he's done very well to reach the level he got to.

He got beat by a superior boxer and there's no shame in that!

BTW, what's happened to the heavyweights from the US who dominated the sport for decades if not centuries.
Now it's Europe all the way! cool

No wonder boxing is boring as fuck these days, devoid of great/interesting personalities.

May be boring to the likes of you but not for Europeans who are dominating the world stage right now.

Tyson Fury may be many things but boring he’s not!

 
JahJah 2022-08-21 09:10:38 

In reply to NineMiles

Errrm, sorry, if he excites you, have at it.

'The likes of me'? Is that a new way of saying 'you people'?

Take it anyway you like, buddy! razz

I guess that's what they said to you, while they were turning you.

Trust you to go there but then again you would know all about that eh, lady ZsaZsa! lol razz

Okay, I now know about Yardie Edwards.

It happened about four years after Leon Edwards moved to England.

He, his mum and little brother had said their goodbyes in Jamaica and come to Birmingham to start a new life.

They'd left their old home behind - a one-room wooden shack with a zinc roof in a poor part of Kingston where "hearing gunshots was normal".

Edwards had his own room now. That's where he was when the phone rang one night at 2am in October 2004, aged 13.

The boys' father had been the first to come over to England from Kingston. He'd sent for them to follow, but they didn't live together.

Edwards' mum picked up the phone. He could soon hear her crying.

"I knew what he was involved in, so I knew eventually something would happen to my dad," Edwards says.

"When it's a late phone call you know it's something bad. It was a traumatic situation. It wasn't like he died in his sleep - he got murdered.

"It was like a spiral effect; it definitely made me more angry and more willing to partake in that life. It pushed me into a life of crime."

All I'll say to that is thank goodness for the UK (a country y'all love to denigrate), another potential Yardie gangster rescued from the Yardie ghettos!
