Question...

Rios Abril was a horrible decision on par with manny Bradley Danny Herrera was a lot close IMO You are out of your mind if you think Rios vs Abril is on par with Pacquiao vs Bradley. Abril scored a shutout against Rios. Pac won 7 rounds to 5...... or 8-4 if you want to be generous.

Can somebody tell me how these forums reacted to the results of rios-abril? Because that fight was about as big a landslide of a fight in favor of the guy who got robbed then any fight ive seen in the past 3 years. I had that like 118-110 or something like that could've easily scored it 119-109 or even a shutout in favor of Abril. Garcia-Herrera was a close fight, ofc since garcia is a big favorite most people will want to give herrera a little more credit for anything he does, i mean he did win the fight in my eyes i had it 116-114 Herrera. But the fight was close and garcia did look to be landing the harder shots in the fight. Doesn't mean he won it, but you guys are acting like this is the robbery of the century. It was close, danny is the lineal champion, the main attraction, and they're in puerto rico. What do you expect? Herrera deserved atleast a draw at the minimum I agree with that, but don't go on and say garcia is a hype job and this and that. Really no need for that because thats not true at all... That was possibly the worst robbery. I dont know how the forums reacted but it's pretty much universally known that Rios lost that fight. Announcers often allude to him getting a gift in that fight. The biggest problem with that fight being talked about is that no one saw it. It was a bogus PPV put on by top rank because HBO wouldn't buy the card. No one really bought it so it's only the few people who did and people who streamed it that night that took to the forums after that fight. Most who have seen it went back and watched it afterward (like I did). I doubt there was as much backlash as this fight because i'd assume close to a million people saw the Garcia fight last night, where prob less than 100k saw Rios-Abril when it happened (these numbers are obviously not exact, but I honestly don't know 1 person who bought it).
