Yeah but that wasnt a bad fight, and both men were conditioned and came to fight.

Living in Australia it's difficult to see things impartially, as soon as there is any Australian involvement the hype goes over the top.Yeah they both got in decent shape but boxing is not tennis , I don't think we should have a seniors circuit, cant think of any old tennis players or golfers risking life for a last hourrah.This fight shouldn't have gone ahead and was driven by the Australian belief they are the best at all times, regardless of age .
