doesnt fare well for Berridges future

Tongan guy got ripped off, robbed big time. Gave it all for three rounds and won. Didn't have anything left for the extension round, which is a joke. Someone please explain to me, how it can be even after three rounds, unless it's a 10-9, 10-9 round for one guy, and a 10-8 round for the other guy. Unless there's a knockdown, it's two rounds to one. Only thing I can figure is that the judges scored some rounds even, which is ridiculous. It really penalises the guy who won the first three rounds, and the guy who won the extension round has to fight an extra round against the guy in the finals.

Someone needs to show Beetham the tapes of his time at the warriors, he seems to be getting better as the years go on. An average first grade player who is nowhere near a great. Cudos to him for making a career out of it but I hate it how he seems to have been talking hisd league ability up in the last few weeks.
He was massively over-rated at the warriors!

Totally agree but to be fair I don't see this format as his go at all.
He got out of that by the skin of his teeth, would have been crippling had he lost which he should have

I'm probably wrong, but I get the impression that the judges had made their mind up about the final and gave Papanui and Berridge the extra chance to make it true

I'm pretty sure you're not the only one to see it like that....
Berridge was obviously a lot stronger at the end, but the judges were meant to be judging a 3 round fight. Not "let's give him another round to win it"

I'm obviously not looking at the fights

A kiss followed by an Ali shuffle then a scoring punch ..pretty cool

nice little smooch from adesanya there...

Most convincing boxer so far is the kickboxer
