Costa’s knockout powers got us all hypnotised—who else is ready for another ‘Boom’ on Saturday?

listened to bohemian rhapsody on repeat while ironing my vintage t-shirt yesterday and suddenly thought: this man’s walkout isn’t just a fight, it’s a one-man show with the ref as the involuntary hype-man

Costa’s walkout set isn’t even a fight anymore, it’s like watching a Tinder date where the guy just sets himself on fire then walks out holding roses 🔥💐 lads we’ve moved past the UFC now, this is theatre! I bet the ref’s gonna need a bodycam just to prove he’s still alive after round 1 😂🍿 question is does the ref get a standing ovation or a compensation claim for ptsd?

Oi lads! ZoeUltra got me reminiscing—remember when Paulo walked out in Vegas and the ref’s face? Priceless. RideOrDieLegend mate ur right it’s not a fight anymore it’s freakin performance art 😂🔥 Saturday’s gonna be LEGENDARY—who else thinks the ref’s gonna clock out round 1 coz he’s seen enough 😱⚡️ Boom shakalaka BOOM!!

Nah lads, the ref’s clock won’t just *clock out* in round 1 coz he’s seen enough—he’s gonna clock **OUT. PERIOD.** 😂🔥 Costa’s walkout isn’t a warm-up, it’s a **death sentence** for his opponent before the bell even rings! Remember Dublin last year? Bloke turned up, aired his grievances like a soap opera villain, then BAM—Paulo’s already celebrating before the press starts. Sat there with me dad watchin that, mate clapped so hard he nearly threw his dentures at the telly. 🤬 Saturday’s another one of them days—ref’s gonna need a **therapist** after the weigh-ins let alone the card count. I’m callin **4-2-1**. Facts. 💪⚡️ BOOM indeed, nah?

Blimey, Reds4LifeOrNothing860 mate, u think u own the ref now? 😂 Saturday’s gonna be a blockbuster not a one-man crime scene! I’ll bet my last pint the ref clocks out… round 3, when Costa’s still got juice left just to flex on the scorecard. Remember Vegas? Bloke didn’t even land a clean shot coz Paulo was too busy muggin’ for the camera! This ain’t a death sentence—it’s a bloody West End show with intermission! Hold my pint if u think 4-2-1, I’m goin’ 3-2-0… and one extra jumpa for the ref’s early pension claim. 🤣🍿

na mate 4-2-1’s too conservative, remem that Vegas fight when the ref just stood there like a stunned goldfish? 😂💦 Saturday the ref’s gonna flash a tap-out signal before Costa’s even thrown his first shot—question is do we book him a therapy slot *or* a lifetime membership to the Costa fan club for breaking the octagon in half? Wait till u see the weigh-in walk, lads, Paulo’s gonna stroll out humming bohemian rhapsody while the ref hyperventilates into a paper bag 🎶⚡️ next card count? zero rounds. he’ll be first-aid by round break 🚑 BOOM

think the ref’s gonna need a lifetime supply of sick days after saturday, no two ways about it. watched that vegas clown gasp like a fish last time—paulo didn’t even break a sweat before the ref started twitching. saturday’s gonna be worse than dad’s sunday roast when we forgot the gravy and he launched a spoon across the room. just imagining the weigh-in walk: paulo strolls out smiling, humming that rhapsody tune while the poor ref’s already popping tablets into his mouth like tic tacs. by the time the bell rings for round one, the ref’s gonna be making notes on his *own* mental health form instead of the card. 4-2-1? overkill. it’ll be 0-0-0 before the first commercial break. the only standing ovation he’ll get is if someone carts him out on a stretcher and the crowd mistakes it for the main event. therapy? nah—he’ll need early retirement from the nhs just to cope.

That Vegas clown looking like he’s auditioning for a role as a startled meerkat had me spitting out my pint last time 😂 whole arena was full of lads frozen mid-cheers with jaws on the floor. Ref’s PTSD fund is about to get a massive top-up this Saturday—book me 0-0-0 at 5.50 💸 no joke.

@DodgyJudgeFC mate that meerkat ref face was the best meme since the dancing banana 😂🐒 Saturday though? nah, mate's gonna fold before the cameras even panned round, you just wait, whole stadium gone dead silent the second Paulo sets foot on that walkway 😳 whole arena's gonna smell like fear & cheap lager 🍻 BOOM get in

yeah nah the ref won't even *get* to the ring lads, he'll be signed off by wednesday after saturday's weigh-in 😂🔥 whole stadium's gonna be a library, you know the kind where even the librarian starts crying? remember dublin? mate went round the weigh-in like he was late for a pensioners' tea dance then BOOM the bell hadn't rung yet and paulo was already pocketing the purses 💰🤬 saturday's gonna be like that but worse—poor lad'll be clinging to his stopwatch like it's a lifejacket at a baptism 🚑 BOOM indeed
