Glad that Abril was robbed

[Prawn Jovi]

Stopped reading right there, I dont care what you have to say.

Boxers getting robbed for...... BOXING. SMFH

The truth has now been spoken!

[americanbot]

TBH, his style is not where my problem with him lies. It was the blatant bull**** illegal mess he was doing. The excessive holding, and using his left to measure constantly. Other than that he stuck to a very effective game plan and outboxed BamBam. The amount of **** he got away with would've gotten him DQ'd had it been Steve Smoger reffing.

he was clinching & smothering rios when he got close early on..........but he started using the shoulder roll & that was the most effective thing of the fight.

all of it was legal & rios himself started clinching in the 2nd half of the fight............dq'd?

IS THIS A JOKE...........only a butt hurt fan would claim that abril would be dq'd LOL the guy was near where CLOSE in the range of doing anything iligal let alone dq'd. spread those lies to someone who hasn't watched the fight like the TS.

Now what you could have done was just disagree with me Ameri Bot bruh, and that would've been fine with me. But I've been watching Boxing for over 25 plus years so I think I know illegal tactics when I see them. Was Abril crafty? Sure. Did he employ illegal tactics???????? ABSOLUTELY. Yes Abril used the shoulder roll and was very effective in doing such(but it wasnt the MOST effective tool he used in the fight). But to say he didnt hold when Vic gave him 2 hard warnings in the later portion of the fight for it is you doing something other than doing your best to remain an unbiased fan. I've seen DQ's and point deductions for less holding than what Abril got away with.

While what Abril did was smart(holding to disrupt Rios' rythmn, and kill his inside game, as well as mentally take him out of the match). It was very much so excessive, and therefore illegal. I see you made no mention of the illegal measuring he got away with.

So before you post a comment of accusing me of being a butt hurt fan, take another look at the fight.

If you think Mayweather fights ugly then yes, Abril fought ugly.

[Evil Abed]

Red K for making a thread about a fight you didn't see.

[Ray*]

Seem a lot of fans of the slow, plodders, one dimensional fighters like Maidanas, Margaritos are the ones that are "Glad" that another boxer got robbed, Seems you have to stand in front of this fighters with your hands down by your side to be considered a boxer....Shame

[sicko]

at what point do we start to put pressure on the other fighter who is basically ALLOWING HIMSELF TO BE CLINCHED...because you can't fight close range or inside and/or he doesn't have footwork to get away and resist those clinches

but then people complain about Mayweather when he sticks that Forearm/Elbow up...well he actually does that to try and stop his opponent from Clinching that is why you see it a lot against Hatton because Hatton wanted to Wrestle and not Box during that fight

to me Abril and Molina did absolutely nothing wrong, I have more of a Problem with the two guys who was suppose to be the "STRONGER FIGHTER" in both of those fights, basically allowing the guys who are not known for the Power for Strength, just push them around so easily

If you don't like Clinching...fine, but don't get upset when Chad Dawson puts B-Hop on his A$$ for trying to clinch and jump on his back and don't get mad when Mayweather using his Forearm/Elbows...boxing fans can't have it both ways

So no Abril and Molina did nothing wrong, that just Exposed two fighters who only Depend on their Power and Abril and Molina took away their ONLY WEAPONS! These overrated fighters need to learn how to do MORE THEN JUST PUNCHES and Knock People Out... Abril did the same thing to Rios over and over for 12 Rounds and Rios came up with no type of solution and made no ***in Adjustment but yet people want to cry about Abril?

Sorry but in boxing it is not the opponent job to fight in a way that benefits his opponent and make his opponent look good...boxing don't work like that

If you think Mayweather fights ugly then yes, Abril fought ugly.

I dont think thats even comparble Rich my man. I mean he effectively used the shoulder roll(very well might I not add, impressively even), and he used straight shots inbetween Brandon's wide looping shots(which he should've done). I think that he did box beautifully, but I didnt agree with the holding and measuring done at great lengths. Floyd is other worldly with everything he does in the ring. He's on another planet compared to any Boxer alive today. Abril....................Is a good and crafty Boxer.

dude, rios was hitting in the back of the head all fight night long & didn't get so much as a warning. (you remember those back of the head shots) rios even started to go low in the middle rounds & didn't get even 1 hard warning......the only reason the ref warned abril because the crowed was b*tching to him to take 3 or 4 points (mexican crowd going for the mexican fighter so no surprise) excessive clinching is what Akinwande did to lennox. thats the level of clinching that will warrant point deductions & a dq......abril wasn't really clinching. he was just smothering rios on the inside. (even with the shoulder roll) he was sticking close to rios because he knew rios couldn't get his punches off if smothered........& then he outboxed him to bits on the outside. it was a masterpiece. & HARDLY ANYTHING was done illegal on abrils part.........rios was just controlled, outboxed, & trashed to bits.

Then u must have a real problem with vlad k cause he does everything u just described plus he pushes his opponents heads down.

Lmfao at all these cry babies crying about how Abril didn't just stand there an let bum bum hit him and knock him out
