Glad that Abril was robbed

[encino man]

while the fight was ugly/awkward/sloppy at times, both guys were still letting their hands go in the clinches. both guys were responsible and rios didn't help the situation by smothering himself on the inside. he made no adjustment to take a short step back to throw the uppercut and threw his left hook with no variations right at abril's right arm

well, now you guys know why we get these mismatches and trash ppv cards where the A-side fighter gets a gimme fight. it's what the "fans" want. bring on urbano antillon II.

Yes Rios did hit in the back of the head more than a few times, I do recall him getting warned once for it, but it doesnt make it right. And yes, Rios did hit on the hip and thighs to try and take away Abril's legs(I dont agree with those tactics). It was a good Boxing exhibition hardly a masterpeice bruh. And you're lying to yourself if you think Abril was not clinching and illegally measuring. So you see. I have no problem with saying there was a robbery, as ther was one. Abril should've won the fight. So if you're looking for a fan boy to argue with you might want to look elswhere. Now if you want to debate the tactics used by both fighters and weither they were legal, or illegal then we can do that. Outboxed?????? Absolutely. Out fought?????? Absolutely. Did Abril land the cleaner more effective shots???????? Yes he did. Did Abril control the fight???????? Yes. Did he use tactics that could've got him DQ'd or points deducted?????????? Absolutely.




I dont watch Vlad or his brother. I dont care to watch them fight, as I dont like their style, and feel they have no comp in their division.

No need to call names bruh. I'm far from a cry baby dude.

dude, you will believe what you believe & i will believe what i believe. i don't believe that there was anywhere near enough clinching to warrant a point deduction let alone a full out DQ. (you believe otherwise)

we will agree to disagree..........

I honestly didn't notice much clinching and thought Rios was making the fight uglier than Abril by rushing in and putting his head on Abril's shoulder. I use to to think Rios was a pretty good in-fighter but last night he looked horrible by just head hunting for a big shot. Wasn't coming in with a jab or even attacking the body much that was there for him all night, so in other words he wasn't "working" he was just looking for the kill. Abril was in the pocket the whole time picking off Brandon's shots and coming back with his own that were landing flush.

What Molina did to Kirkland, that was a clinch fest and was horrible to watch. Abril just outboxed Brandon's ear's off the whole night.

exactly!!!!

Agreed. What was your take on JMM/Fedchenko? I thought JMM was going too hard for the KO.

Yeah guys like Molina and Abril excessively hold to the point that it gets annoying to watch...campillo was able to outbox and humiliate tavoris without having to hold/clinch every 5 secs like a *****. Abril should have been deducted a point for the amount of holding and at times having rios in a headlock...of course the 1 point deduction wouldn't have gave rios the win but it would at least have persuaded Abril to put on a more exciting/watchable performance.

red k givennnnnnnnnnnnnn dumb ass thread

[CHOWWOKKA]

I never watched the fight and i need to see it but it was clearly a robbery from all the writing about it. But from what I am heard is he fought a very ugly style, can anyone confirm this?

Guys like Molina, Abril etc. should definately not be rewarded for taking the entertainment from boxing, and if they get wins cause of this everyone will do it and make fights that should be exciting boring. This is boxing, its supposed to be a battle, a war.....using your fists. I really hope we dont see much of these ugly horrible ***** styles in the future cause it is killing boxing worse than the bad decisions

I never watched the fight I never watched the fight

I don't respect anyone that HOPES or is GLAD that a fighter gets robbed, just silly.
