#ANDNEW !
🏴Ieuan Davies (8-0) is my favorite British Isles prospect. He just manhandled 🇯🇲Omiel Brown (13-4) in a minute to secure the RNC and win the Cage Warriors LW belt. Need him in the UFC ASAP !

The boxing elitists think they’re part of a sport that’s somehow superior to every other combat sport.
“You don’t know shit about boxing. Only the intellectuals can truly understand it.”
Yet in almost every major crossover fight, the debutante has actually done pretty well.
Conor had success early. Francis, I still think, won. And Rico should’ve been ahead going into the 12th.
The element of the unknown, the surprise factor, tends to play into the hands of the debutante.
Now, what happened to Francis against AJ should be a lesson for Rico. Once there’s tape and opponents know what to expect, the outcome can look very different.
But spare me with the boxing superiority complex. If boxers entered MMA or kickboxing, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.
‼️Tom Aspinall GOES OFF on boxing after the stoppage of Rico Verhoeven’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk
“They don’t even let him make it to the end of the round. It’s a fucking robbery. What the f**k is that? Boxing doesn’t want anyone else to win, simple as that”

😲"Boxing doesn’t want anyone else to win" - Tom Aspinall blasts the stoppage in Rico Verhoeven’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk 🚨
“They don’t even let him make it to the end of the round. It’s a fucking robbery. What the f**k is that? Boxing doesn’t want anyone else to win, simple as that.
They want boxers with the amateur style coming in, winning the Olympic medal, and then switching over and being unbeaten pros. They don’t like other combat sports.”

🚨SCORECARDS🚨
Rico Verhoeven was well and truly going to get ROBBED by the judges if Oleksandr Usyk didn't stop him in the 11th, and we heard the final bell.
Just look at these HORRIFIC scorecards.
Thankfully, they weren't needed, but they need to be explained.
