I agree,I thought Harrera won too.I just wonder what the hell were Teddy Atlas & the other guy was watching.Plus compu-box was horrible too,Harrera pumped that jab,threw better combination's & moved well without it ever being considered running.

yeah i was there at the fights, and the sentiment was that ruslan was favorite heading into the fight, I picked herrera to win by UD by using movement, because even though ruslan ko'd augustus, there were times in that fight where augustus's movement was giving him problems.

not letting ruslan plant his feet was KEY, and herrera did it, also, he let his hands go on the inside and knew how to properly use the clinch ( get your shots off, tie up real quick, separate, and repeat so your opponent can't get any rhythm or shots off ) very well played by herrera.....

everyone around me was saying i was nuts to pick him and i said, just watch, by the 6th round, the people around me started asking me questions as to what i thought about other fights and if this fight was going to continue in this manner, and i said, watch and see............


any ways, it was a small venue, but i have to say, the crowd was good, although small, i was surprised when my friends called me up with tickets and said lets go to the fights. the reason that i was shocked was that no where in town, that i SAW, was there any promotion for this fight...... anyway, it was cool being at that first FNF's of the season.

i could just smell upset in the air..........

Yea bro if you were judging by commentary Prodvonikoav won but i put them out of my mind and judge as fair as i can,and the jusges hit it dead on they deserve some credit for there scoring.

It's not a surprise to read that the latino people at the arena had Herrera win the fight; if a Mexican fighters ends up the fight being beaten up less than twice than his opponent, then the Mexican won the fight, yeah.

But this is professional boxing and Provodnokov did much more damage in most of the rounds. So why don't you guys go to judge Olympic boxing? it will be more appropriate.

The judges had Herrera winning the fight too.

The fight was close IMO. Herrera was using the jab alot and threw combinations and got out. Both fighters were landing and it got closer towards the end. I had it reaaaallll close for Herrera.
