Fortuna not getting a HBO fight after this now, He better go after the Sergio Thompson WBC interim belt at 130 then see if he can get back on HBO/Showtime

[BendOver]

Now can anybody like that?!

I say you don't like any of them, not even Gamboa when he was koing fighters left to right, Franco was there to be ko by Fortuna instead he look like a fool, is easy to look spectacular against crap competition but if you step up and look like this, against a guy with 12 fights that hasn't fought in over a year, you not that good, a least not yet...

[DoktorSleepless]

What did you want Franco to do, stand and trade with a known ****er? C'mon.

I hate when people pretend clinching and stand & trade or the only two options against a big puncher.

[RSBonos]

Teddy is an idiot yet again. He gave, what..one round to Franco. That's as bad as that one judges wide card.

He rants and raves like a buffoon, he should have focused on actually watching the fight where Franco was doing just enough to win many rounds. Terrible fight, but even more terrible broadcaster. They totally ignored fan scoring which had it wide for Franco and then some bull**** about corruption and MMA taking over just because ol' Teddy wanted to BS about nothing instead of watching the fight. Fortuna is all hype.

I saw Franco make Fortuna miss very, very frequently. What else is there? Franco doesn't have the tools to do what you're asking.

Nah, I would say it's not that difficult to tie your opponent up and not let them go. It's not that difficult to put on a guard momentarily or give the impression that your trying to work. Only one man tried to make the fight in there and that was Fortuna. Franco could have applied his works through boxing, anything but that, instead he chose to spoil.

Fortuna's stock dropped a little. He's gonna want a more favorable match-up next time.

It doesn't have to be a favorable match up, jus' someone who's coming to win. Not some spoiler who's happy to get a draw.

[J The UnBiased]

Franco clearly won the fight tonight.

I agree with every word.
