Comments Thread For: Rivera Claims Juanma Ref "Bet Against Him" in Past Bout

[ELHURACAN58]

Now I know Rivera really likes to protect his boxers. I find it funny now that Juanma looses , hes talking about the ref betting against his fighter in a past fight he didnt even lose.

Grow a pair, and kudos to Juanma for not backing this lame excuses.

What does Juanma's fight against Daniel Ponce de León have to do with his fight against Orlando Salido anyways?

[AllEyesOpen]

This is just laughable, not only was the ref doing an overall good job, he seemed to favor Juanma in certain instances. Lopez was warned once, maybe twice for holding the fighter down with his forearm, and the ref even warned Salido for a low blow after one round, that was clearly caused by Juanma holding him down.

Not to mention that Lopez hit Solida with 2 hard shots late in the final rounds while holding his head, while the ****ing ref was watching.

This is pathetic,There taking credit away from salido and its pissing me the fck off.Stop with the excuses.

I agree. The thing is the stoppage may have been a bit premature however Juanma was getting tagged repeatly. He was throwing back however they were all slow arm punches that had nothing on them to deter Salido from coming in and battering Juanma more. All this 'controversial' ending did is a) give Juanma and his team excuses and to say that he it was BS stoppage and b) to save Juanma from a terrible beating to fight another day...

And, on a side note, I am sick of people claiming Juanma lost to a bum! Salido is definitely not a bum. He went 6-5-1 in his first 12 bouts because he was a learning on the job kinda fighter. He turned pro at 15 and fought fighters he shouldn't have fought just to make ends meat. Salido is a tough fighter who will give anyone a tough out (didn't anyone see the Gamboa fight) and he deserves the credit. I am happy for Salido....

I saw the fight live and you can see in the tv replays that when Juanma was out on his feet in round 5 and there were like 10 sec left in the round the ref was right there to jump in and stop Salido from punching immediately as soon as the bell rang to assure Juanma didn't get caught with a late punch and would survive the round.

So it's laughable for Rivera to be acting like a spoiled rat, even Juanma has come to grips with the L and has accepted Salido was just better than him that night.

Puerto Ricans always have something to ***** about when they lose. This is so true and ******. Cotto vs Margarito they was first starting rumors about PEDS then heard about the plaster in Mosleys fight and OMG@!!!! Rito CHEATED ! thats why. Now there other true champ from Rico JuanMa gets his ass saved by the ref from getting knocked out or physically damaged and what now? I only clicked this link because I was betting that the one who started this rumor was, you guessed it puerto rican. You guys for real gotta start takin your heads out your ass and accept a loss from time to time. **** happens doesnt mean run off the mouth and make excuses. This is sad. What if Oscar got that win from Trinidad what woulda been the excuse there? After Manny ****d your Cotto i heard some *****in about PEDS! wow. . . JuanMa was going down and everyone seen that coming. Except Ricans.. but really..

? Son... It all started with Chavez bytching after every loss and then the entire country of Mexico learned to bytch about everything in life.

Margarito loss to Shane:

"Shane is a steroid user... Margarito was not mentally ready because they BUSTED him with plaster..."

Montiel KTFO by Donaire:

"Donaire is too big for Montiel... He looked too big!"

Rafa Quits against Lopez:

"Rafa too old... moved up in weight!"

Vargas Smashed by Tito:

"Tito hit him low... Vargas forgot to take his steroids..He was too young."

Oscar busted for wearing fishnets:

"That was photoshop ese!"

Juan Marquez guzzling piss:

"Don't be ****** ese, that is Apple juice!"

18 Mexicans whooped by Gomez:

"We're not counting those losses ese!"

We don't really know what would have happend if the ref didn't stop the fight. Juanma was throwing punches when the ref stoped it. Salido wasn't even throwing punches when it go stoped. A ref should stop it when one guy is defensless taking a flury of punches. Not to take away from Salido's win cause he fought his ass off but the ref is an idiot.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

hmmm so they put a ref who bets on fights and look at these idiot poster what does it have to do with anything that means he can rig a fight and place a bet on someones elses name you idiots just like the nba ref who favored teams in the playoffs such as in the laker v.s kings game years ago the kings would have won they got robbed juanma was fighting back why stop the fight the ref could be crooked investigate this ***** and get it right

[ShoulderRoll]

Damn, does Rivera want for Juanma to be slurring his speech even worse than he already was after the fight?

He should STFU and accept this already. Stop crying about it.
