Is it just me? Salido/Vargas...

Yes you are! Total Buzz kill! Well so be it then. :drive:

Call Salido a master dirty fighter or the Ref being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Absolutely a master dirty fighter (that might be the name of a kung fu flick). My poor wife had to pretend she was interested while I played commentary, "Watch this guy Salido, he's going to low blow with the left when the ref is behind his right shoulder". *boof* All night. Vargas is a steel-testicled warrior for not complaining and crying about that.

Salido pretty much got away with the same fouling as in Lomachenko fight but they just didn't care to talk about it much, or call the referee out, even though they were Johnny on the spot when it was Loma's nuts gettin' bashed? I think the fight was almost over when I first heard Lampley mention one of dozens of low blows. Great fight, not to be buzzkilling it, but seems really hypocritical to me. Yes you are! Total Buzz kill! It was brutal. Those nuts were taking a beating. Fouls are part of the game though. I'm not a fan of heavy fouling but I don't look at them like they're a ped or something. And, yea, interesting how the bias was apparent. If that was Loma they'd be crying a river. Everyone warned Vasiliy Lomachenko not to take the Salido fight! Yeah he was hitting low at least twice or so a round. I said something about it in the official thread. Raul Caiz is a good ref but he missed all of them or just didn't care since Vargas didn't complain about it Take a 2nd look at the fight! Raul Caiz did a good job! Call Salido a master dirty fighter or the Ref being at the wrong place at the wrong time. My opinion is just that but did you guys see Takashi Miura in the ring after the fight greet Salido! Did any on you see the crowd including Vasiliy Lomachenko giving the fighters a standing ovation? That's the ultimate salute!

Ill take the occasional low blow in the midst of intense non stop action over excessive intentional clinching any day. They did mention Salido was one of the best at fouling in the sport, I tend to disagree. Looma was losing, he wasnt supposed to so they had to highlight the low blows in that fight, its how commentators are programmed. .."Occasional"? Ain't but so many occasions before it's "consistent" as opposed to "occasional". Salido way went over that mark, imo. Like normal.

Yeah a lot of dirty nut shots and leading with his head to cause headbutts. But he is sneaky at hiding it and pretending they are accidents when the ref does see it. If the ref don't put a stop to it then it's labeled smart veteran tactics.

He does it really well though most of the time the ref was on the other side of his shot its all part of the game. But ofc if it was Loma lampley would have started the waterworks early.

Hey, it's on the ref for me. I don't really normally blame the fighter for repeated stuff if he's getting away with it. It's only his job not to get DQ'd. I'm more interested in the HBO being (rightfully) up Cole's a** but tonight it's just a casual thing where they ignore most of it. It's like oh so it's okay when it's a random Mexican champion but if it's Lomachenko...like you said, crying a river. Sucks because HBO was getting better about that stuff for a while but in the past year or so, they all have basically stuck to the script. Even Roy (who was the voice of the fans for a while) is playing ball now. I don't get worked up about it like some guys here but when you look at the real shameless stuff, like the way they tried to sell us on Lemieux last week, it's just insulting on so many levels.

Punched his ass a few times too lol LOL He did too, didn't he? A lot of hip shots, nut shots, some butt shots, Salido don't never give a f*ck where it goes. Yeah he was hitting low at least twice or so a round. I said something about it in the official thread. Raul Caiz is a good ref but he missed all of them or just didn't care since Vargas didn't complain about it That's the thing, like, Cole is one of the worst refs in the sport and regarded that way but was he really that much different to Caiz with Salido getting away with everything?
