Unfortunately I can't boycott boxing..my addiction wouldn't allow me to not watch..

But I refuse to purchase another Top Rank PPV..Pac-Marquez IV will get no love from me..I'll watch it the following week for free...

The stoppage can be argued either way..fact is..Alvarado was hurt but not out..Benavidez Jr was WAYYY more hurt than Alvarado was and was given an entire minute to flop around grab on and kill time..the moment Rios rocked Alvarado the ref looked ready to hop in..

But as I stated that could be argued..I, along with Rios, believe it was too early..

but the CARDS!...seriously..the referees had it 4-2 for Rios?..GTFO!..no way in hell did Rios take 4 rds of that fight..a Draw MAYBE or 4-2 Alvarado is what it was...but the refs had their minds set on who they were gonna give the decision to no matter who actually won the fight..

Alvarado was gonna get jobbed no matter what tonight...it's depressing to see we still support Top Rank events when we all have been victims of Bob Arum's fixes...no more Top Rank PPV purchases from me..I hope the REAL fans actually stop supporting this BS!.

you mean the judges, but yeah i completely agree with you. when bob papa announced the judges' scorecards i chuckled. but this wasn't a ppv event, so we didn't really pay top rank for anything. it was hbo's telecast that we paid for. but yeah, screw top rank's ppvs. usually they're not that great.

If he went 10, no way the scorecards would even be close to mirroring their performances as they weren't even doing that halfway through.

LOL!..

I was on a heated rant..good catch Chi..

But this sealed the deal for me...and I hope for the real fans that are sick of seeing this right before our eyes..

atleast in the past eras the fixes weren't as often and blatant..this is getting ridiculous..

Scoring of the fight was terrible, not the worst stoppage though, he was hurt maybe could have gone on a bit more but who knows.

Gotta spread the Green before giving some rep...

but I'm glad you're not purchasing either..it's the least the fans can do..really..I doubt it'll make the slightest dent in their pockets..but atleast the satisfaction that they didn't get my $60+ is good enough for me..
