Decided to watch an old fight today. Decided on Hagler-Mugabi. Mugabi was vicious but this shows the brilliance of Hagler. Tough, Intelligent and a will to win that is unmatched. The best Southpaw ever. Crazy to think this was his last win. Truly was Marvellous.

@raysavage856 lost a close fight against Ball. He won. Lost a close one against Foster didn't complain about being thrown out of the ring which should of been a point deduction. Promoter not backing him. Seriously this guy should be unbeaten. Throwback. Get him to 60’s MSG.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

Most corrupt fight there’s been since the old MSG days. Was Frankie Carbo involved. More obvious than LaMotta against Fox. Fucking disgrace and a big fuck you to the history of the sport.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

@JimmyTheBrummie Mate. I hope you are good. Been there. We support the best team in the world. Great things will happen. When you hit that lowest point the only way is up.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

I remember once a Heavyweight and obviously the board knew a prospects Czech Republic Heavyweight opponent. For 6 weeks. They trained for him. Spoke to the guy he got told on the Wednesday and had drove his UBER on the Tuesday. No medical. He was the last person to know

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

Prograis obviously got an injured left knee. How has he got a license? The British Boxing board of control are fucking up every week. It's embarrassing. Did Prograis do a medical? We need answers. The world and his dog knew he blew out his knee.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

But a ticket seller who is 8-4 will lose his then
A 3-24 Estonian gets one no questions asked. Changes need to happen.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

@scott_dance1 I'm presuming no overseas fighters have medicals anymore

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

@5liveSport @bigdaddybunce Loads of incidents and drama but the Helenuis decision is one of the worst ever and could of seen his career trajectory change with big fights a lot sooner. Let's not forget pre becoming box office he was in the away corner after that shocker of a decision.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

@bjfloresboxing @ChaseDeMoor I'd say 30 seconds including the count

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

@DanRafael1 They are based in Cardiff as they were inept and liable for the Watson-Eubank fight in the 90’s. They just survived. Took the Saudi money and give work to ppl who don't rock the boat. 2026
UK boxing is worse than 90’s Germany and 60’s MSG. Jobs for the boys

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

In a night of headline boxing the real hero is @2Sharp_d he's a World champion against the odds. Under-rated and heavy handed. The peacock gym is an institution and tonight was a reason British boxing is great. Bentley and Bowers I thought were boxing perfection tonight.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

Terry O’Connor helping Cleverley back to his corner against Kovalev is the best example.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

They had to leave London for Cardiff because they messed up the medical response for Eubabk-Watson and nearly went bankrupt. They agreed to oversee Saudi for the 💵💵. We are worse than 90’s Germany and the laughing stock of the Boxing world. Jobs for the boys.

@Babs_SP They had to leave London for Cardiff because they messed up the medical response for Eubabk-Watson and nearly went bankrupt. They agreed to oversee Saudi for the 💵💵. We are worse than 90’s Germany and the laughing stock of the Boxing world. Jobs for the boys.

@RobTebbutt @BelowTheBelt_ Did he ref Reid-Ottke?

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

I think that's the worst referee display since Reid-Ottke. I think Wilder might of thrown 100 punches to the back of the head. Ref bottled it. BBBoC need a clear out. Laughing stock.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

Viddal Riley boxed really well but I'm
sure Malik Scott just compared him
to Jersey Joe Walcott. He keeps dropping old school names in thinking it makes him look knowledgeable but he's well off with the comparisons.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

UK and Ireland have invested in the amateur system and had great success. But the downside is these amateurs go into the pros with a lot of miles on the clock. Anyway Mick is still one of the best amateurs I’ve seen in the flesh.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

@RPrograis In a war you want Jojo on the front line. He’s like Alexander the Great, Achilles. Just hard as fuck.

[Haydn Williams @Predatorhayds]

@roccoramzy @Boxing_UK_ @JaneCouchMBE I thought Jazza defensively was outstanding. Took a lot of punches on the gloves and comms gave him no credit for it.
