What is Lance Revills problem ? Whenever I've seen him being interviewed or read things he's said it's always negative he just comes across as a real miserable person.

Lance was a critic of Tua also. He, Bob Jones, and Sham are mates. BTW, what happened to Buttabean not being on the card?

SKY didn't show Buttabean's fight. Here it is:

I did. He's a dick. Always has been. Glad he wasn't reffing nothing.
Probably why he's upset? He's been ignored by duco and he's not on the payroll anymore lol

Sir Bob Jones: Joseph Parker's WBO boxing belt is a 'bogus title'
Outspoken boxing enthusiast Sir Bob Jones says Joseph Parker is not a credible world heavyweight champion and described his WBO belt as a "bogus title".
Parker's former mentor is appalled by the fractured and corrupt state of international boxing and says it's silly to pretend the 24-year-old South Aucklander is a genuine world heavyweight champion following Saturday's controversial win over Andy Ruiz Junior in Auckland.
The 77-year-old insists Parker's win and newfound status cannot be taken seriously when just hours later Britain's Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title against Eric Molina.
"It's a bogus title," Jones told Radio Sport's D'Arcy Waldegrave.
"It's not the heavyweight championship.
"Twelve hours later Joshua was fighting for the world heavyweight title (and) there's a couple of other roosters fighting for the world heavyweight title."
Jones described the WBO as a joke and representative of the various boxing organisations who he claims extort money from fighters to boost their international standings.
"And Joseph could have got there without this nonsense.
"There can only be one champion and you can't have this situation. It's destroyed boxing."
Jones did not agree with New Zealand Professional Boxing Association president Lance Revill's claim that Ruiz had been "ripped off" by the judges but ultimately thought Parker had been outclassed by the tough Mexican.
The close nature of the bout, he says, was evidence that Parker is far from the finished product and needs more experience before he could be considered a genuine title holder.
"I personally thought he probably got edged," said Jones. "He was just woefully bad in the opening rounds. It wasn't until half way through he got into the bout.
"It was a disappointing performance and that's why he needs to fight a lot more people to one day perhaps become genuinely the world heavyweight champion.
"But he is not the world heavyweight champion."
Jones offered a rugby analogy to illustrate boxing's troubled state, where the best performing sides were overlooked in favour of second-rate 'title contenders'.
"It would be like the Rugby Union saying 'look, we won't bother with a provincial championship this year- we'll anoint South Canterbury to play Wairarapa Bush for the title and to hell with Canterbury, Wellington and Auckland'.
"It would be like that."

I wonder if he would call the title bogus if he was still managing Parker, and he won it under Bob's financial assistance.??

If Bob Jones was still in charge of Parker he'd probably have him facing Bowie Tupou at this stage of his career.
