I thought he blew it

[TRAV1$]

Not a very impressive fight.

In fact, I think it's even worse if he was 'just toying with him the entire time' like people are trying to claim.

To me, he looked like he wanted to box for the most part
Salido made it ugly and difficult by clinching
Then Gamboa wanted to end it late and nearly got DQ'd
Strange fight.

No it doesn't. Proof= Rios vs. Peterson.

We're talking about when you hit someone when they're down. If the fighter can continue, ref takes points away. But in the case of Ward/Abraham and Bika/Dont Remember His Name, the affected fighters could not continue which is why they got the DQ.

[NesNY]

should've been a DQ man. I like Gamboa, but that was cheap.

Salido could've gotten the victory with a little bit of acting. what an idiot.

[Ryn0]

props to salido for fighting on and not pulling an andre dirrel

Yeah boo Dirrell take a flush hook from one of the biggest punchers in the sport while defenseless and then fake a KO!

(despite the fact he was winning on points)

[gapo]

DQ was the right decision...

Bring on juanma on put this motha in his place.

No it doesn't. Proof= Rios vs. Peterson.

Two different cases. Peterson was DQ'd because he'd already had 2 points deducted. 3rd would-be deduction is typically suppose to be a DQ.

Would've been horrible if Gamboa would've been DQ'd, but it could've happened. As it happened, Gamboa may well have cost himself a KO victory.

You said a DQ not a DQ resulting after being hit while being down.

Salido could of rolled out of the ring gone to his house grab a mattress took it to the ring laid down with his face down and Gamboa would of still punched him in the back of the head.

idk how to call it... This was the first time I seen someone just lose 2 points for it

I think the ref handled what was a difficult situation pretty well.
