Comments Thread For: Ruthless Francisco Rodriguez beats up Galal Yafai to earn shot at Kenshiro Teraji

I didnt mean to hurt your feelings. Im sure Rodriguez knows what he's doing, but 6 other guys didnt get the message

Hurt my feelings? All I did was expose your complete ignorance as to who Rodriguez is and what he's accomplished. 5 of his 6 losses came to world champions and 4 of those 5 are likely headed to the Hall of Fame. Acting like he's some stumble-bum for losing to Chocolatito, Nietes, Ioka, and Nakatani? Clownshoes.

Within 30 seconds of first round i knew this isnt going to go well for yafai... yafai wasnt prepared for that power and strength, he couldn't push Rodriguez back and was forced to trade against a stronger more experienced, tougher guy. Yafai gave it his all, true fighters heart but that alone wasnt good enough tonight. Take rest of year our anf get rebuilding next year with 3 / 4 fights and see how the division is standing back end of 2026

This guy is like a tempered piece of metal, carved out from the fires of hell that he had to go through to were he is tonight. A lesson to boxers to keep trying even after you have some losses. Glory may be just around the corner or at the end of a very long mile - but it is there. Damn good fighter!!

Clown shoes? Are you off your meds?

No, you're just a casual who had his lack of boxing knowledge exposed and are now trying to attack me to deflect attention from that sad fact.

They have a shot. Ive seen it work at the VA. It gets rid of the aggression. Then a pill a day, twice for anxiety attacks. You need to look into it.

I wish losses in boxing didn't mean so much, there's been ufc superstars with as many losses as Francisco, some ever more and some don't even win the world title and they remain big deals.

Winning your fair share and being in entertaining fights against top guys should be what it's about, not being undefeated.

I couldn't agree more. I think that real boxing fans understand this. It's the others that we need to educate.

Context is everything.

Taking losses to Donnie Nietes, Junto Nakatani, Moises Fuentes, Kazuto Ioka, and Chocolatito shouldn't hurt your standing. Taking losses to domestic level dudes or cherrypicks gone wrong is a different matter entirely.
