@ade_oladipo1 Anyway, loving the pod. Keep up the good work.

Couldn't agree less with
@ade_oladipo1's take on the unfairness of undisputed champions losing all their titles in a single defence on the 5Live Punch Perfect podcast. This might be a long thread... (10 posts in total)

@ade_oladipo1 ... intended to sell more fights as "world" title fights, and for these organisations to make money off sanctioning fees. It certainly doesn't follow that picking up these alphabet baubles one at a time is superior to being the man who beat the man.

@IFLTV I scored it 117-112 (3rd even). Definitely some close rounds, but Catterall edged most of those hence a scorecard that is apparently lopsided despite a close fight. Rounds are scored in isolation, so it's perfectly possible to have a close, competitive fight that is a shut out.

@GGBoxingClub Andy Cruz - debuting in a 10 rounder and winning every round before stopping his next opponent in the 3rd of another 10 rounder seems like quite the 5 months, however much amateur experience he has had.

Whoever was in charge of the pictures for the #haka wants sacking. Too much chopping and changing angle, too much of the French players, no real sense of what the NZ players were actually doing. #FRAvNZL
