I missed a lot of this fight because I was captivated by the Rigo fight.
But the rounds that I saw (later rounds) seemed to have some very strange commentary. The commentators would only acknowledge Franco’s work even when Maloney had some extended periods of successful offence. There was a round where Franco looked like he was taking a breather and was getting hit a lot, but nobody said a thing. They just kept praising Franco. I don’t know, maybe Franco did so well in the first half of the fight that the commentators were still clinging to his nuts? I know sometimes it takes a bit of time for them to catch up to what is currently happening in the ring.

I must have watched a different fight. The article title, Cards and commentary don't reflect how close this 12 rounder really was. I throught Maloney edged it by 2 rounds? Am I the only

Outside of Rigo being robbed and another disgusting job on Showtime commentary, great night of fights. It was funny to hear Mares talk trash about Rigo when he is younger and far more damaged to the point he can't fight anymore. Ortiz impressed in a hell of a fight and Franco left no doubt in a tense trilogy.

I was real confident for a Moloney UD coming into the trilogy and while he did worse and Franco much better than anticipated, I'm still giving the side eye to that compubox. Not mad about a 7 5 ish Franco though. At least I got Ortiz on the money
