Damn, how much holding can go on in one night?????? Two fights with almost no action and all holding each other!! Neither Fortuna or Franco deserved to win and Fortuna when he is not knocking out a guy, looks like a rank amateur. Far cry from last weekends fights.

I thought Fortuna clearly won but when I saw atlas's card vs Facebook viewers card I knew it would end up a draw. If you look at the fight on paper I guess statistically it was a draw. Either way based on what I saw tonight draw or not I don't think Fortuna is ready for Gamboa or anyone else elite.

Fortuna is still young so hopefully hell bounce back atleast he didn't take a L tonight he could've been robbed completely had Facebook been the judges

After seeing how the Fortuna fight ended I wished the lights didn't come back on.

A draw was just, IMO. But whatever the case, Fortuna would get waxed by Gamboa. Maybe the Franco fight will help the kid. Now he knows he can't just knock people out at will.

It really reminded me of the Pacquiao vs Bradley fight, very similar Fortuna nerds a lot more polishing Franco was hitting Fortuna with some shots that if Gamboa is able to land Fortuna would get KTFO

To Fortuna's credit Franco didn't want to engage much once he felt the power anyone can run and shoe shine all night like Bradley did vs Manny

The decision could've easily gone either way by a round or two...Fortuna was the aggressor while Franco outlanded him!!! I'm ok with the draw what I don't get is teddy atlas b*tching saying it was a robbery!!!

It was a tough fight to score. I thought a draw was just. And yes, Gamboa would've smoked Fortuna with a few of those same shots.

Not anyone can "run" and shoeshine all night. Fortuna has claimed a few scalps from guys that simply weren't in his league. Franco got caught by at least a half-dozen good shots I'll bet practically all Javier's KO victims would've gone to sleep over. Fortuna is good, but not all that.

On point, my brother. I agree 100%.
