    We've all been told that they are watching social media to see who will call them RAPISTS ...so I've been very careful not to call them RAPISTS.... because you know I'm frightened of the lower bar of proof that civil court would challenge me and thousands of others on...:emoticon-0105-wink:

    As I said... if I'd been a juror. . If have to come to the same conclusion (because I didn't see certain evidence that was negotiated out of court

    Would that mean I didn't think they were guilty as sin? No.

    It's the one thing that's always troubled me... the belief that without that process we have anarchy (And if I was the dad id love anarchy) and the sonetimes unpalatable idea that guilty guys go free


    What I will say... stats say the fraud rape stats are 0.004% of cases.. because seriously what you have to go through to get to a verdict as a victim is appalling ... and then you have a 4% reporting stat and then a 6% conviction rate on that 4%....


    Just saying...

    Yes, the meninists do shout loudly about false rape claims, while apparently oblivious, possibly deliberately, to the fact that if rape cases were investigated more thoroughly - and the police would prefer to but it's difficult and takes up resources - then false claims would be more evident and even less likely to happen.

    imo its all very tough stuff.

    its hard to follow as its deeply distasteful stuff.

    its clear those guys won't every play top level test rugby again.

    its pretty clear they are in a privileged position and threatening suits on anyone and everyone but the reality is one case coyld break them finacially.

    loud noise

    Managed to creak together some Twitter streams to see it. Fight utterly ruined by a ****ing appalling Italian ref who refused to let them fight. Literally broke them up mid exchanges countless times. Should never be handed a big fight again.

    Joshuas jab won it for him.

    Pretty much

    Joshua looked strong first few rounds with Parker looking very wary and getting red around his nose, upper mouth from a couple

    Parker grew into it, came back at AJ in the middle but Parker took a nasty heavy one in the left of his face

    AJ reasserted himself in the last few, tried for the uppercut and missed, and Parker hadn't done near enough to make up for the early AJ advantage

    Overall ...

    Parker threw a lot but couldn't find his range and didn't land hardly anything, couldn't get on the inside ever

    AJ didn't throw as much, but what he did throw landed and mattered, plus he had the jab as a constant threat and controlled it from the centre

    Fight started off interesting but by the end was quite underwhelming

    And yeah, the ref, of the ref ... a total feckin disaster zone

    just my opinion but given this was

    a) home fight

    b) AJ had reach advantage

    c) AJ fended off in final round.

    I think that ref was specifically picked to keep this fight as the "technical" display Hearn and AJ were on about after.

    This was a no risk, long distance controlled affair from AJ to just take another title off a hard hitter but a guy who was never winning on points.

    Wilder take note.

    The issue now is whether a unification fight is possible with wilder.

    9-0 <party>

    One win away now.

    And I scored again, although I should have had 2. Had a 'Name up in Lights' moment and completely fluffed it. Luckily I scored about 5mins later.

    Yep, cause ours is a split league (North and South) and the league above isn't only the winners are guaranteed promotion. 2nd place teams have to have a play-off.
