I think this is exactly why joshua, ryan garcia and canelo deserve respect for takikg tougher fights. Yet people disrespect them after losses, which is the problem. Being undefeated is held too highly in boxing
Joshua??
One of the things that made Ali a GREAT, was losing and coming back to win titles…
@@shanedjoy8954 What made Ali great was his opponents. The guy was fighting in an era where every heavyweight could knock you out on their best day.
@@jackhughes7637yes the Anthony Joshua, the man that has fought the guy that Tyson fury keeps running from, twice
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about
Agree with the lad. Not enough 50/50 fights.
All of the promoters. The fighters want to fight each other they wouldn’t be involved in sport if they weren’t competitive. The promoters want to milk them for all they’re worth and not risk their stock going down with a loss
HW in MMA is almost always 50/50. Rarely do you see consistency in that category. It's just the nature of it.
Not enough 70/30 fights never mind 50/50.
This makes the Francis fight even crazier. His first fight goes straight for the top, and the fight is so close people still argue about it. Win or lose the fact that there's even a discussion is absolutely insane.
Tom has hit the nail on the head about boxing! I love the sport but it’s becoming a parody of itself.
Agreed 💯 and the subject was swiftly changed there 😂
Heavyweight boxing is but other weight divisions ain't as bad, unfortunately heavyweight gets the most attention
idk it's definitely getting better, bigger fights are being made, people are losing their undefeated title; taylor, spence, garcia, fulton and bigger fights are being made in general. heavyweights are shite but the rest (proper boxing) is getting a lot better
@@moore66well. How often do you get to see two 6 feet 6 guys that are 250 lbs on average duke it out? C'mon it's pretty unique man
@@moore66The last card in Saudi was a lot better though
I never really looked at it like that... Someone who clearly subpar being thrown to a undefeated boxer (who people think is actually class), is actually a lot more dangerous than we talk about.
He’s a world class MMA fighter though…
It’s not like he was a bricklayer that got into the ring with a world champ lol
@@shanedjoy8954 lol you were not paying any attention to this interview and have answered out of context to what this person is referring to.
@shanedjoy8954 Tom was talking about boxing matchmaking in general, not Ngannou vs Fury...
And he's right, promising boxers are often so preoccupied with keeping their undefeated record that they routinely get matched up with cans who have no business fighting them.
They're not being thrown at the fighters ,those are journeyman that willingly take those fights knowing they're more than likely are gonna lose just for the paycheck,if you value money more than your health that's on you lol
@@UVB-76_Enjoyertell me about all the opponents Khabib fought before joining the UFC
As a lifelong boxing fan I 100% agree and I think he put it very well.
Totally agree. The boxing model is corrupt and needs a complete overhaul.
Tom Aspinal is such a top guy
Tom Fingernall
@@Barnzy213???
He's a creepo
Best man on the planet
@@Dilzzz94 Please go say that to his face, and get someone to film it
A really humble comment from Aspinall, 'I don't really know how to score boxing.'
Tom, I can tell you right now, after watching boxing for over 40 years, and diligently getting my paper and pen out for every fight I watch so I can score fights, there are plenty of boxers, ex-boxers, managers, coaches, promoters, commentators, pundits, presenters and anlaysts who also don't know how to score boxing fights. The only difference is, you Mr Aspinall, have admitted your lack of qualification - they rarely do.
why don't you think about becoming a judge in a smaller league or something fella
@@lordhandsomeswag1854 Fella? As if he gave you any reason to be a condescending weirdo.
you have definitely spent too long online lil dude - I was asking a genuinely curious question, I call people fella out of habit like others do with "bro"; you gotta chill your mind is playing tricks on you@@zekayman
@@zekaymanhow was he condescending? And I mean anyone can be a weirdo, you are the condescending one here who ASSUMED he had negative intentions
Weirdly pretentiously worded. Like pseudo-social or something
Never known a fighter to be so honest and real about their career and where they are. Saying he wants to clean up in the ufc before even thinking about boxing is spot on. Carving out a legacy in the right way
Spot on Tom. For some reason boxing has the crazy concept about this undefeated record but if you look at mma and how the best fight the best and losses don’t ruin a career they are an inevitable consequence of fighting the elite. There are no storylines or arcs in boxing just beat 20 lacklustre opponents and then find a loophole to a world title then go back to lacklustre opponents
The probablem if if boxers lose because they fight hard fights like Anthony joshua dod they will call him no good, its the boxing fans thatbare the prpblem thwy are facisnated by the 0 and i hate boixng fans
@@thebigdogg2866 They've been conditioned into it at this point, I guarantee you if a bunch of the top boxers decided to start fighting each other and the 0 loss streaks start falling more Fans will be forced to think of defeated fighters differently especially when the defeated fighter takes someone's 0. An unbeaten streak should come naturally not be pioneered
@@nicolasvojtisek7365 yeah people like money Mayweather and his antics is a big part of the problem
its the promoters, they look at the undefeated fighters like cash cows, build up their profile against journeyman and then cash em out in the big title fights or a big name domestic fight. Ideally on their bill where they can get their judges and ref in that's on the payroll. If by chance they lose they just forget about them and move on to the next one, satisfied with the money they've already made of them. Its a racket fixed in their favour, where the fans get ripped off and boxers get used and abused except the fortunate few who are marketable not necessarily good
It's mostly down to that gobshite Mayweather.
This is the guy to back and get behind England top bloke humble well spoken let’s push him as much as we can
We're lucky enough to have Aspinll and Leon Edwards
@@lordvadertheleftie9703 100% bud, two great fighters and roll models 👏
Tom is right' check the betting odds for boxing cards v mma cards' a lot of gimmes in boxing
yep there is, but there's 12 rounds as opposed to 3 or 5. That in itself makes things much more even.
Mma 12 round is not possible dude
@@kevinb9830more even? The longer a fight the more it favours the more skilled opponent.
@@user-he2ou2ex2fI think he means because the fights are scored per round.. 3 and 5 being odd numbers it should be easier to determine the winner by score card
@@shortscut7614 I never said it was.
Andy looks like a grown-up Dennis the Menice
Tom is an absolutely great guy. So proud of what he's achieved ❤
Meh, the only thing wrong with boxing is all the people running it and most of the people participating in it.
haha too true
Politicians too
So basically everything
💯 True words from a great guy!
Top Aspinall is a great role model for youngsters.
I get why fighters turn some fights down at certain times but surely it’s better overall to not turn fights down you can see from Tom response how content he is knowing he’s fighting the best and beating them.
I'm a massive boxing fan but we don't get the big fights. When we do both fighters are way beyond their primes. It's a popularity contest and most undercards are mismatches
That’s nonsense, there have been tons of big fights if you look outside the heavyweight division.
Imagine what Andy state is now after watching his Man Utd tonight.
What Andy State 🥴
Sir Spectre - top state true facts spoken 💯
Where’s the rest of the interview?
Absolutely agree with Tom!
Hardest man in Britain 💯%
I know a guy hard as an actual nail. He’s been hammered a few times.
Without question!
Pause
@@hipdrive ??
Ayooo
If fury really trained for that fight he needs to hang up the gloves im being honest.
If he goes into the usyk fight he could do serious damage to his body.
👏👏👏 🙏🙏 …I stopped buying boxing PPVs too. It’s a shame what’s going on!
What I like about Tom is he’s so down to earth, and says it how it is, you just can’t help but love the guy❤
Tom is the man!
tom might be the most well rounded mixed martial artist ever his ceiling is so high just injuries hopefully stay away, ufc should make aspinall v steipe winner gets jones
how much of a great guy tom is, im not a mma fan but he comes across as a great guy that makes you want to watch
Class act. What a Champ we've got. Show em how its done Tom.
Tom is right about about the current state of boxing...
tom's the boy, we love him
If you watched lower level then the fights are closer, but he's right at high end or even top prospects its normally a miss match
Well in Tom for pointing out what none of the sports commentators will. Boxing has been turned into a joke by the promoters, too greedy to risk any of their fighters losing at the risk of letting the fans see a competitive fight. Entire cards filled with favourites vs journeyman, cherry-picking, blatant robberies, bent refs and judges, top fighters being avoided and becoming irrelevant. Just become a totally corrupt sport. Promoters need jailing and half the belts need scrapping and boxing needs to be started up again from scratch. Maybe some sort of league system where fights are unavoidable
mate well said Tom on GB boxing fall guys/punchbags
Aspinall is bang on
Spot on
Bent & Moron must be the world’s worst boxing pundits.
They could easily replace these two with literally anyone and it would be instantly better.
I agree with him to a certain extent......Boxers can decide their own path and are still paid quite handsomely for it.....whereas in MMA the fighters are generally signed to an organisation which dictates who and when they fight and have to to stand a chance of earning something worthwhile. Boxing has its issues, but unlike what he said about where Boxing is going, we're having more unifications, undisputed and top fights now in Boxing more than we've ever had before. We had cards in Manchester and Wolverhampton the other week which rivalled a whole year's worth of Boxing in the 70s...then you have this Saudi card before Xmas which is the best, most star-studded card ever made with 9 rival promoters contributing. I don't know what people are on when they say Boxing is in a bad place........Furthermore Tom can only blame his mate Fury for not taking on tough competition for ages as he's one of the worst for it.
You're deluded. Fury and Joshua/Joshua and Wlder should have happened a few years back, and they will likely never happen. Also boxing tends to have zero personalities whereas in the UFC half of the fan folliwng is based on fighters colourful veries personalitities. Boxing is in a grey zone, only boxing loyalists/purists keep up with anything other than the heavywieght division, which is in a shambles right now.
@@dude9038To be fair heavyweight has been better this year but Joshua wilder should have happened ages ago, not even getting into the fury usyk bs
@@dude9038nah that's just you not realizing the bubble you live in. Other divisions have sold out arenas and made solid ppv numbers last year alone. You just don't hang out with people that talk about those divisions
Legend tom is ,boxing should be like the ufc
It’s impossible for boxing to be like the UFC now, too many promotions and belts
He's correct in most things talks about here but calling mismatches dangerous when most fights I've watched where evenly matched fighters who can obsorb huge punches are the fights where there's a bad outcome,like Benn v Gman or Eubank v Watson
No thats only because they're high profile so you remember them, there are still 13 deaths a year on average from miss matched set ups to build guys records
At smaller shows they'll even pay the ref to let it go till its a brutal knockout so it looks good for their fighter
I observe that you don’t know what you’re talking about. I think you meant absorb btw.
@InterYamah they pay the ref to let the oponents to get knocked out? I'm not saying that's not true but could send me a link please so I can have a look,cheers
@InterYamah also can you send me an example of mismatches that have occurred with injuries, I'm always open to learn but someone just saying it doesn't make it a fact,cheers
Love you tom! Are you Thomas!?? I don't know,... Give Curtis blaydes a go! What do you think!?
I will always love boxing ❤
It’s 90% the promotion company. They’re marketing companies trying to build the stock up of their asset as much as possible before they crash out
Kept it 💯
Tom is awesome. Tyson should be ashamed of himself. Boxing for many weight classes is trash. But there are still some gems
He has a point when you look at the glamour divisions (ie the heavyweights and whichever division/s the Americans have a couple of decent fighters in, currently 135, 140 and 147). The problem is The Mayweather Effect: Al Haymon made Floyd's 0 his USP, and he made a stunning amount of money that way. They used the 0 as the signifier of his greatness, and used losses on other fighter's records as a stick to beat them with in negotiations, or a reason not to fight them at all as they were 'unworthy' (which is funny, as Floyd only beat 3 undefeated fighters in his entire career).
The expectations of the casual boxing fan were massively skewed by this, and these days taking an L pretty-much torpedoes a fighter's market value and career prospects instantaneously. Fir the casuals, taking an L means a fighter is suddenly a 'bum', 'overrated' and 'not elite'. Being as these guys fight for a living, it's unsurprising that such a fickle customer base gives them the willies.
Fortunately, there's light at the end of the tunnel: regardless of how much stick fighters who take losses get from the casuals, with the ease of free streaming nobody is prepared to pay for mismatches on PPV, so the old model that made Floyd $300m is no longer viable, and the Saudis having decided to use their infinite wealth to make fantasy matchups is going to wuickly accustom fans to a higher quality product.
TOM HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ON OUR BISPING… “no man alive, can take you away from him” 😂
KING BISPING, TOM & LEON MAKE ME SO PROUD TO BE ENGLISH… 🏴❤️🏴
Intelligent young man. Wish him well.
Agreed.
What a lad.
Never ever see a bad word said against big Tom.....what a guy!
So is Life...
What a great guy
The first MMA guy that I heard that said Tyson won.
Love aspinall but he really does look like a young Jimmy Hill
Love Tom.
Aspinall has the potential to earn an absolute boat load in sponsorships
I seriously think the athleticism has outpaced the boxing skillset. If we asked a pair of fighters to go 15 rounds they'd kill each other.
The problem with what all ufc fighter's say about boxing is regardless of all the mismatches,regardless of all the fights that should happen never happening,its still a FACT that any mainstream boxer is making more than 3 times than any ufc fighter on the same level is making,and given the opportunity they jump at a cross over boxing fight! At the end of the day fighting is a job, and if they are being paid alot more than you for doing that job,they're winning,not you! If I had to choose between 2 jobs where with one I can get punched kicked kneed or elbowed in the head,and possibly my arm ripped off,for £500k, and the other job I'll only get punched and for £3mil,I know which one I'm picking!! Smh
indeed
Eddie Hearn is what’s wrong with boxing. He’s spoken about the problems, but doesn’t have the balls to change.
That's it pin all boxings problems on hearn
Atleast hearn pays his fighters well & pays for extra testing etc. What more can he do he doesn't make the rules.
@@boxingwaffle just a shame once the testing actually works and catches people he tries to sweep it under the rug or make excuses for the fighters. But that's not just hearn that's every promoter in fight sports even Dana
@@boxingwaffle UFC got nearly 1800 employee = Matchroom 70

Tom Aspinall: 🐐👊
Nah Jon Jones is the greatest ever. For now
top lad
What a top guy
UFC is becoming far superior to Boxing for entertainment! The best actually fight each other.
Didn't the best leave to fight Fury?
Best fighting the best in one promotion, not the best fighting the best in mma it’s the exact same in boxing
Entertainment yeah but 90 % of mma fights look like pub fighters very sloppy and then the ground game stuff that ain't Entertainment
@@agt155 no he wasn't in the ufc anymore.
@@km025 There is no UFC of boxing. No promoter is willing to do 50/50 fights.
Tom bang on with his appraisal of combat sports. Currently the best there is. 💁🏼♂️😉
"UFC you only get the big fights" Simply not true, the biggest fight in the UFC to make this year was Ngannou vs Jones and they couldn't make it. To say the problem is solely Boxing is wrong, as soon as the money goes up in the MMA they will have similar problems
No they won’t, simply because there is one belt per division under one promotion, instead of 4 belts and many different promoters. Sure fighters turn other fighters down for stylistic reasons, but more often than not everyone in the top 15 of each division fight each other. UFC will never become the current boxing model, it’s impossible
@@Ge01O it’s already started with rival mma promotional companies. PFL have ngannou, Bellators fighters and a lot of the Kazakh talent etc
@@jameshunter9368ufc is good but is overhyped Eddie Alvarez in one got koed almost koed again against nobodies .dj got koed by nobody
@theadityavikramvarma this comment proves your a casual......... only a nobody in the western world and this comment also proves how self centered westerners are
Boxing has always been that way, and always will be. Two primary reasons why MMA sh*ts on boxing: a.) The best actually fight the best b.) They're using ALL THEIR WEAPONS, so it's a real fight
Uncomfortable to watch is Fury vs Chisora (not that I watched it)
What a guy
People seem to be missing the point that Boxing is a business, I get the fighters would take the toughest tests but the management teams and promoters are there to create the biggest financial opportunities for the fighters.
Ultimately that is why we see so many mismatches and a card stacked with decent level fighters vs the human punch bag.
Unfortunately I don’t see how it will ever change 🤷♂️
People will eventually flock to see those who take the toughest tests, though. Look at Manny - lost several times but it didn't matter. Always loooked to fight the best out there.
@@kevinb9830 That's if the majority of boxing viewers think like you and I. There are lots of casuals, who make promotions the thick of their money.
It's a tough sport, being hit hurts!
you didnt listen to what he said did you lol
It’s a dangerous sport with bad matchmaking.
Tom is a very likeable guy, he’ll be a great champ
They ended that quick after he exposed boxing
So either boxing is too dangerous or it is "not a real sport," so which is it?
Too dangerous because people go beyong concussions
Not a real sport because ducking cherrypicking to preserve undefeated
Basically your watching truly skilled boxers just battering cans to death they barely fight each other joshua should have fought fury but again ducking
Lightweight champs should of fought each otber again but ducking
Both
Basically boxing should have top fighters fight top fighters fighters because non top fighters are gonna get hurt fighting top fighters
Tom "Fingerblast" Aspinall is the man.
Aspinall!!!🤙
If Tom and Francis fought it would be an incredible fight. Francis would take that but Tom is a beast too
The world's biggest headphones
tom aspinal has brilliant head on his shoulders!
What is this?
I like Tom a lot but boxing is a very intricate and complex game (depending on who you watch, a Floyd Jr or Lomachenko for example) where the skills to master are in such fine detail. There are very few mixed martial artists who are as detailed and complex in what they do which is why most of them can win on any given night and upsets happen much more often. A Wonderboy Thompson for example is a master of one trade, but most MMA fighters are jacks of all trades masters of none and the attention to detail isn’t that great. I’m an MMA fan btw, quite the hardcore and I’m also a regular fan of boxing but I’m mainly a fan of skills
He’s right about boxing but I can see how the UFC is slowly starting to do that. When they go to Mexico they stack the card full of Mexicans and just feed them a bunch of cans. This is just an example but they’re doing it all over. Very frustrating
So in truth the more popular a sport gets the more fake, rigged and glamorized it gets. All about the money. Like it's strange why UFC parternerd with WWE a kown "entertainment" sport. Nothing lasts forever.
sports personality of the last 5 years
No one would watch football if every week if was Manchester City vs Lincoln every week. People wanna see the best compete with the best
Who do you think won honestly? I cant score that one 😂😂😂😂😂 comon Tom.
Mike tyson aint getting enough credits for coaching.
He’s like a giant ned flanders
Same reason I stopped watching boxing on a regular basis
Top lad
He has the goat goatie
How can you not just love Tom ? Grab that cash as quick as you can and get out Sir..... Appears to be a genuine lovely fella.
Except in the UFC there is not much cash to make since they only get 15% of the revenue.
@@AnTTr0n 15% of the revenue ? Are you sure ?...... Even if that figure is correct (which it aint) there's plenty of other income for the fighters outside purse earnings.
PPV shares, Sponsorship, Advertising, Sports endorsement deals. No high end fighter relies on fight revenue alone.
All Tom needs now is good financial advice, as multi millionaire status is literally just around the corner.
It is correct. Conor only got $5.5 million for each of the Diaz fights which both did over 1 million PPV buys.@@mooncat.787
I find two men in speedos rubbing eachothert extremely awkward and uncomfortable mama "warriors" lmao
MMA is like an embarrassing beg friend always wanting boxing to accept it and pat its head and rub its belly. Just get over it, most boxing fans think rolling about on the floor is spandex with a sweaty 18 stone man rolling about on top of you is what is is. Whack!!
You've clearly never watched mma if you think that's all there is to it.
ive seen boxing matches that have 10x the amount of hugging as mma fights
Boxing fans are just insecure homophobes who don't know anything about actual fighting and require heavy restrictions on fighting to feel like there a badass
Wallin vs Joshua is more exciting than Wilder vs Joshua
Is he talking about boxing or most or khabib
