but my thing is, they've seen that movie play out before in other fights.
Slick fighters run away in the championship rounds and lose the fight
why not learn from that already, like they already have stuff stacked against them,
like what is his trainer thinking telling not to push the pedalComment

if Robson would've pushed harder in the championship rounds, he would've gotten 2/3 cards.
enough to win,
knowing damn well he's already supposed to lose, why not ensure he wins?Comment

An absolutely embarrassing ending to what I thought was a pretty decent card. You’re right it’s not a war of faces, assuming that face was battered in just a few spots by just a few punches….. his whole face was messed up as the Brazilian said. Valdez didn’t outland him in a single round and even the ones that’s were closer in landing totals it’s not like Valdez was landing significantly higher quality punches. Valdez got whipped. In every single aspect of that fight.Comment

I completely agree with you with Robson not having that experience

I feel bad for Valdez, he’s in a tough spot. He can drain himself to stay at 130 and get paid peanuts to fight the winner of Herring-Stevenson next or move up to 135 and fight somebody like Ryan Garcia or Haney and make more $$$. Arum and Top Rank don’t want to pay these guys

Conceicao landed double the punched and clearly landed the harder shots. I have never used this word for a modern boxing match, but between the drug test, the point deduction and the scorecard, I think it's fair to just go ahead and call this one fixed.
It was fixed.
