That's what streams are there for. Like I said, HDMI out from PC to TV and you get your KO on the big screen.

Nope perfect vision buddy, I could understand with all that horrible holding and smothering all night if Abril was at least throwing some good shots but if he was dominating how come Rios didn't have a mark on his face?

I thought Rios' partially blocked shots did just as much damage as Abril's punches. and I thought while Rios was having his punches smothered he was just being outworked while just standing there.

And if you want to encourage fighters to fight like Abril by awarding him a win like that then believe me boxing would be totally dead

See my innate problem with this issue is that, in this case Brandon Rios, is not a judge.

He might be a loud mouth brawler who plods forward and takes a few to land his, but he seems like a no bull**** fighter. Just a guy making a living ****ing on other guys.

With the way the sport is organized at least while he's on the come-up, he probably needs a promoter and a promotional company to help broker his fights with the networks and other fighters- nothing unusual there.

With widespread corruption, though, some guys might benefit from unfair practices without having much say in it. I refuse to believe every Rios-Abril style robbery had a willing participant inside the ring.

**** situations are caused by greed, but I hesitate to make a fighter pay for the misdoings of someone else. I'm not offering a solution or criticizing the boycott; just bringing up something to discuss....

Brandon Rios, to use this gift decision as an example, might very well have had no say in the Bobfather's politics - what would you like to see? For Rios to leave Top Rank at his first opportunity? To be honest that he thinks he lost? Or will he, like most fighting men, take the benefits, train hard, and try to pay back his gift by giving his best effort..?

"Hold on baby I gotta use the bathroom" ..... "Yea hit him with the 1 2 and the philly shell D" "Yea! School that bum" Movie ends and your daughter still waiting for you to come back.

Haha gotta love the smartphones nowadays. Same thing I do when Im stuck at work and they have some fight in Europe that I might miss.

Streamers once again trying to rally up a boycott.

So what's new?

That could be the case. Maybe he didn't know or had anything to do with it BUT if you know who your promoter is and you know he has Marquez lined up for you and know your promoter always goes on with his plans no matter what. Then you have to have a clue in your head or a bit of su****ion that you know what the outcome will be. I guess you can call it "having faith on your promoter." And if people aren't gonna boycott Top Rank then they should at least boycott Rios. The guy missed weight twice in a row and then goes on parading after the fight as if he knew he won. There's no way you parade after being schooled like that. Instead of walk to your corner with your head down in shame, for missing weight and being schooled after talking all that smack.

Remember JMM is not with Top Rank and if he doesn't KO Rios he also has the possibility of being robbed. But you're a fan of both I suppose so you don't really give a fk. Not gonna waste my finger tips.
