Again, No hate on Rashad. He came in with a game plan that was advantageous to his strengths. There was no way in hell he was going to strike with 'page. But if these two things I highlighted were handled in one way or another, this would have been a more competitive match.
In short, yes the fight was lackluster, but that's what you get when fighters play up to the prejudices of judges and ACs.
*Not a knock on Boxing. MMA and Boxing share the same judges.
