What seem to be an epic battle about to begin, vandalism started happening all across Jeff Horn and the events Wikipedia pages before the fight even began. Changes were made on the event wiki page including:

Donald Trump vs Isis, Dionesia Pacquiao vs Jeff Horny, Boy kangkong vs. Kevin Duling, billed as "Battle of the Bad breaths", 45 Pac Man, Manny fight record to 0 - 58 - 2 and Jeff King Kong Jr Horn with this all being before the fight even began.

After the fight had happened a second surge of trollers happen but this time on both Jeff Horns page and the event Wikipedia page. More edits included:

Brisbane rigged city, Battle of the Rigging, Horn robbed the decision, changing the decision to horn losing, Horn won via cheating ass refs they cheated my guy deadass, Win but did he?, 16 - 1 - 1 on Horns record, landed half the punches as his opponent and many more.

Senior Wikipedia editor and Boxrec editor Benjamin Watt, spend over an hour after the fight battling off persistent Vandalizers before admin staff change the wikipedia pages to protected mode.

Watt commented This isnt the first time I seen a surge of vandalism, I remember earlier this year when WWE Wrestler Jinder Mahal, won their WWE World title, and the vandalism on that was much worse than this.

Both Pages are currently on temporary protective mode, however if a new surge of vandalizer happen, it is more likely the change will be permanent which is similar to what Justin Bieber and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have on their pages.

All Eyez on Me, the big screen biopic of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, hits cinemas this week.

But initial reviewsdont paint a very flattering picture.

Here arethe most scathing verdicts from critics so far.

In the films favour,Purdom is quick to point outthe uncanny likeness between Tupac and actorDemetrius Shipp Jr.

The spheroid head and brilliant smile; those big, disarming eyes; his granite, tattoo-flecked torso.

He even notes that Shipp looks better than that hologram they marshalled out for Coachella in 2012.

But other areas of the film dont fare so well.

The live performances seem to have been shot in one afternoon in a half-full lunch room, with copious cuts to waving hands and nodding heads taking the place of an actual audience.

Some of this can have an unintentional comic effect: one love scene fades in on the line Lets make this our forever.'

Fear pulls no punches in his bruising take.

You get characters who exist solely to spout exposition and/or infomercial taglines,and the sort of clunky, nuance-free film-making that keeps pushing the Camp-o-meter into the red.

Describing himself as majorly disappointed, the writer notes that any attempt to explore the origins of the rappers extraordinary mixof in-your-face aggression and sensitive hood journalism gets buried under sloppy sentimentality and soap-operatics.

Its biopic-making by numbers, he adds.

All Eyez on Me is rarely more than a faithful adaptation of the rappers Wikipedia entry, says Yoshida.

So fixated on name-checking every footnote of Shakurs public life that there is no space to explore the experience of the man himself.

As with other reviews, Yoshida notes Shipp Jr.s resemblance to the late star, but remarks that the rest of the castarent quite so believable:

Most of the actors turn in TV-movie performances.

More bizarrely: Those playing more recogniseable roles including Jarrett Ellis as Snoop Dogg and Harold House Moore as Dr. Dre are never shown in close-up, and their faces always seem to be obscured by something.

Scott Mendelson presents one of the more unflinching reviews of the lot branding the film a painfully formulaic biopic and artistically unworthy of its subject.

[It is]so concerned with presenting Tupac Shakur in a negative light that it forgets to paint him in an interesting one.

It lacks anything resembling context or insight and little in the way of connective tissue as it hops from one life moment to another.

Perhaps most damningly, Mendelson suggests the film is neither entertaining nor enlightening.

Tupac Shakur deserved better. So do you.

According to this write-up, All Eyez on Me is thekind of hammy take on a stars lifeyoud see on an also-ran music channel nearly 20 years ago.

A number of scenes apparently evoke spoof music biopicWalk Hard, while the screenplay flagrantly riddled with clichs and lazy moments of recognition as any film of this sub genre doesnt seem to help.

There isnt a conversation in the film that isnt weighted with obvious foreshadowing, and by the time he dons his basketball jersey and his chain to enjoy a night on the town in Vegas, Tupac may as well be Lincoln preparing to head to the theatre.

Frank Lampard may not be hanging about to enjoy retirement.

Chelsea's record goalscorer hung up his boots for good just four months ago but he could be back in the game sooner than you might have thought, having held talks over a potential move into management.

On Tuesday evening, several outlets reported that Lampard had held talks with League One side Oxford United about their vacant manager's position.

Oxford are pursuing a replacement for Michael Appleton, who left the U's to take up a role as assistant manager at Leiceser City, and Lampard is understood to be at the top of their wishlist.

Lampard, who retired in February following a brief stint with New York City FC, has made no secret of his desire to move into management now that his playing days are behind him.

I want to manage. Most of my career I wasnt sure but when I got into my thirties I became a lot more interested," the legendary England midfielder said in March.

Much as Im interested in coaching Ive just as much interest in how to deal with people.

We should stress that no deal is done for Lampard to take over at the Kassam Stadium but that didn't stop Wikipedia from doing what Wikipedia does.

Shortly after news broke of his talks with the Oxford brass, Lampard's profile was updated to the below.

Maybe a bit premature, that.
