  • Huffing EPO - Cruz vs Dillashaw
    Mar 21 2023

    After a 5 month layoff, the Armchair Judges are back, and this time we're looking at a classic that changed the perception of one of the most competitive divisions in the UFC.

    Can the first UFC Bantamweight Champion return from a string of injuries that stripped him of his title, and defeat a new Champion who had stopped the dominant Renan Barao twice? And what will happen in a contest between two fighters known for their elusive footwork? And most importantly, did the judges get it right?

  • The ruckus at the RSL: Mundine vs Green 2
    Sep 21 2022

    The promotions for the fight compared it to the Rumble in the Jungle, but it was more of a Ruckus at the RSL.

    This time the Armchair Judges are taking on one of the most controversial bouts in Australian boxing history, the second fight between Anthony "the man" Mundine and Danny "the green machine" Green. Eleven years after they first met, Danny Green looks for the storybook ending to his career, with a clear narrative that he is going there to knock Mundine out early. But can Mundine defy expectations and ruin the ending? And can a couple of guys in their forties deliver an entertaining bout?

    Join us as we break down a fight that proved controversial from start to finish, and determine if the referee and the judges got it right.
