Just turned over to watch this. Clarke seems to be making a strange noise whenever he throws a punch, a bit like those tennis players who grunt when they hit a shot.

 

[Normal Rob]

This is a hell of a fight

 

[Springal]

Cracking fight indeed

Brutal

 

[TomandJerry]

Living up to expectations for sure.

 

[TomandJerry]

Absolutely brutal fight

Both should be going to hospital to be checked on after that.

 

[Springal]

That second score card is a joke - no way that big a difference especially as Clarke had 3 points deducted

 

[Normal Rob]

Not often you see a draw result and think 'that's fair'

 

[TomandJerry]

The best thing about a draw result is that a rematch usually happens.

And after that war a rematch will definitely be a tasty affair

 

[Muhammed - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Not often you see a draw result and think 'that's fair'

Not often you see a fight with one boxer deducted 2 points and with a 10-8 against him end in a draw and think ‘that’s fair’
Cracking fight

 

[Lenny Rider]

Sorry I think Clarke has been robbed even with the points deduction.

 

[Half Time Pies]

Sorry I think Clarke has been robbed even with the points deduction.

I dont think you can say he was robbed! It was a close fight and Wardley also knocked Clarke down in the 5th.

You can't really argue about a robbery, it's boxing after all which comes down to subjective scoring depending on the judge and his position and what he sees in real time.

Even watching on the TV you could make a case either way, a draw being a decent result.

A rematch would be great, boxing has levels and I don't think either are world class yet

I agree, and both fighters far too open to make the step up, every punch thrown seemed to land! Made for a great fight though, a proper slug fest.

Apologies I’d been to a 60th birthday party and was a tad under the weather at 12.40am

Just watched it again, not a robbery but still think Clarke won, just.

Would question the low blow point deduction, as Johnny Nelson stated there appeared to be no warning the first time which is the norm.

Looking forward to them doing it again.

Dubois against either of them would also be interesting.

Did think you'd lost the plot a little bit. All clear now!
That was a damn close, exhilarating fight. Both fighters will take a while to recover. Think Johnny Nelson saying that a fight like that takes 2 years off your career points to just how tough it was. (Though possibly a little dramatic)
