Vanes has been chinned by GGG whilst on the deck, could be a DQ, Roy would have been DQ'd, it was exactly the same as when he got DQ'd against Griffin, GGG is a whiteman, GGG is a ducker, the middleweight defense record is a record, but not a record like a record was back in the day, in Roy's day. Jesus....
Really trying to understand this post but we are separated by a common language.

First, someone is chinned when they are hit on the back of the head? I always assumed chinned had something to do with the chin.

Second, are you saying it is legal to hit someone on the back of the head when down? I certainly don’t think a DQ was in order. It happened too fast to stop his onslaught

How is it anything “American”? HBO is just crap for boxing now. Hopefully Eddie brings something quality to it. Interested to hear his announcement Thursday. Right now their cards with the little guys is the only thing quality

I didn’t watch because I don’t care for mismatches. Did they really bring race into it? It wouldn’t surprise me, HBO has been openly racist for decades. Absurd to even mention white, black, purple or whatever. They’re all just fighters
You've just proved the relevance of their nationality (we are seperated by a common language). You are confused by my vernacular (Eddie Hearn's too, for that matter) so have no idea whether or not i'm being serious or joking. Sarcasm and self-depreciation humour are common traits where I come from. By no means are you the only one, it's a common stereotype that Americans don't get irony, and through my experience of this forum I would say that is pretty apt, however, many Brits can't differentiate between the too either.

"Chinned" is not meant in a literal sense, it just means knocked down/out, punched in the boat (boat = face. It's rhyming slang - boat race/face). When I say "ironed out" it doesn't mean I literally think a fighter is using an iron on an opponent, it's just a colourful expression for a knockout, as the fallen fighter lays flat, stiff as a board (think Hatton-Pac).
