Boxing bliss!
Wow Eddie hearn got Buffer only on normal sky when on the same night Canelo vs Khan is on HBO BOX OFFICE wow should’ve been the other way round what a coup.. Like Buffer said a while ago bout himself that it’s first come 1st serve or maybe money talks..Also Jim old fart Watt needs to shove his typical bias commentry up his fanny.
I cannot believe the result of this fight. What a shame for Barroso to lose it in this way showing a prematurely exhausted gas tank, and because he has all the advantages, southpaw, a hard puncher per his record and taller guy. Crolla, a reasonable fighter, not a very good one in my opinion in spite of what the English guys may believe, did the right fight getting Barroso tired and connecting a good body punch which ended the fight.
It’s a shame this fight only has 3 stars. This is a masterpiece of boxing. Plz give the 4th star.
