This is on now on sky sports
Dorticos is taking on Tabiti and think Tabiti won the first round.
Tabiti looks small against Dorticos who is now putting some good pressure on Tabiti in the 2nd round.
1 all.
Tabiti is winning the 3rd round but it took a lot out of him, I can not see him do that much work for the whole fight.
Tabiti 2-1
Dorticos is looking slow and loading his punches but Tabiti is moving around and holding a lot.
3-1 Tabiti
Dorticos starts fast and aggressive, the ref has told them off for making it a messy fight which could cause cut by a clash of heads, but I can see Tabiti getting beat up and stopped.
3-2 Tabiti
Just as I predicted there is a clash of heads in the 6th round.
Dorticos is cut now and must go for it. Dorticos going hard to the body and Tabiti has a point deducted for holding. The pressure is getting too much for him.
3 all
Tabiti punched low in 7th and taking a much needed breather.
Dorticos showing some urgency and showing relentless pressure.
4 - 3 Dorticos, takes the lead for the fight.
Tabiti is just surviving in the 8th , Dorticos is putting some hurt on him.
5-3 Dorticos
Tabiti probably sneaked the round there as Dorticos slowed down in the 9th.
5-4
Tabiti gets flattened in the 10th round by a big right hand by Dorticos. Too big, strong and better. He is ecstatic that he has won.
Not to rain on the thread, but since I cant find a way to watch anyways, why did they do another cruiserweight WBSS? I expect Breidis to come out on top now, but feel Gassiev was a little better than him, and hes moved up to HW now along with Usyk and Michael Hunter. In other words, the best fighters have left the division and its back to the no mans land it had been for years. Shouldnt be complaining against high level fights getting made I know, but literally any other weight class would have been more interesting.
I agree but they probably could not afford it in the other divisions and have these fighters and belts signed up.Quote:

You must be right there. Just seems to defeat the whole thing when there is a clear winner of the tournament and then they do another back to back to determine a distant runner up. Every other WBSS has been a great thing for fans and the respective divisions so far.Quote:

I missed the fight but Briedis wins controversially he elbowed Glowacki deliberately and should have been disqualified. Glowacki was knocked down twice and way after the 3rd round. Briedis even said he knew the bell went at the end of the round.
Briedis knew he would not get disqualified at home. The ref would not get out alive.
Dorticos isn’t a great fighter but he is good enough. He seemed to have the easiest path to the final.
The second fight was crazy. That elbow was uncalled for. I think it was in the moment of being frustrated by getting hit straight in the back of the head. I think the ref made the right call though. Glowacki sold it like it was a huge elbow. It was decent but not a full on elbow.
The bell sounded weird so I think the ref heard the bell but didn’t realize what it was. There is no way he didn’t hear it. It kept ringing for about ten seconds. Breidis was probably going to get him out of there either way. Good fight while it lasted.
Breidis should pretty easily beat Dorticos in the finals. He might stop him.
Just wstched Breidis v Glowacki, bizzare, terrible elbow from Breidis, really blatant and hard and the bell was ringing for quite some time before the ref stopped the round, let the polish chap get beaten up more and more.... Really crooked... Really bad elbow, really bad ref.
Elbow , then he kicks the crap out of him for 35 seconds after the bell.
NO CONTEST should be the result.
Ref needs to be sacked.
The elbow was a cracker disqualified yes but imagine the riot .😁
That was the reason why the disqualification did not happenQuote:

Bridis vs. Dorticos is a good fight. I hope Dorticos will win, but I think Briedis will be the final tournament winner
By far your longest post and best English so farQuote:

The ref not ending the round was ridiculous, I loved the British commentator, whoever it was. The only possible saving grace for the ref was that the bell sounded like one that would signal recess in an elementary school, Ive never heard that in a fight, was it broken or something:confused:
Also, is it true that ref is the husband of Adelaide Byrd? What a joke if so, get them the hell out of boxing.
Breidis vs Glowacki was an absolute shitshow :shakehead: ....that ref was fucking atrocious. The ref had no confidence to step in, dude you're THE authority in the ring whether you like it or not you have to police the action!!!
Breidis SEEMS to be a much better boxer but Dorticos can fucking punch. Boxers typically beat pure punchers, but Breidis doesn't always move his head and if he's plodding forward not moving his head then Dorticos will move it for him. Dorticos needs to paw with that jab, hook off it, feint with the right hand, lull Breidis into a false sense of security and then drop the hammer on him.Quote:

Dorticos isn’t a good boxer. He has a great punch but I don’t think he will win more than a few rounds. Breidis is pretty legit. He has a pretty good punch too. Dorticos always has a chance with his punch but I just doubt he will get to BreidisQuote:

Many here only do their best when it comes to English ;)Quote:

Yes a man that age really shouldnt be seen fit to control the action between two top fighters of any size, let alone big men. Ive thought that there must be plenty of decent active journeymen or recently retired HWs etc who would be perfectly good refs and happy to do it, beats the hell out of getting beat up as a sparring partner or something, and its not as if they shouldnt know exactly how to read the action already.
Then again I think back in the day they did have a couple of ex HW champions who were shoddy as refs in some major fights. I want to say Jersey joe Walcott, and maybe Joe louis?
Remember Walcott being lost during the Ali v Liston 2 fight but unsure about Louis being a ref at a top boxing match.Quote:

That boxing still refuses to acknowledge what is actually happening in the ring..clear illegal elbow and outside interference to name a couple ensures it's corruption. Even bowling and dog shows utilize video reviews :p.
