Rungvisai tried. He showed up, but Rodriguez was too much.
That's not a problem.
What is a problem is the blatant return to hypocrisy.
Let's get this right.
Canelo fights Golovkin after G has gotten older (Golovkin started late) - Canelo gets criticized.
Floyd got criticized for years for fighting older guys.
Danny Swift got flack for fighting Morales because of Morales' age.
Tank and Haney got flack for fighting Gamboa and Tank got flack for fighting Santa Cruz. Age.
Jeff Horn's three best wins - two of them legends - were dismissed because of the ages (even though one would go on to beat a Top 5 undefeated welterweight champion).
But with Bam, everyone is celebrating him for beating aged fighters. "out with the old in with the new", "old guard", etc.
When will you people be consistent?
