Comments Thread For: Rios Beats Chaves By DQ in Nine, Near Brawl Afterwards

[LAFIRPO]

Both fighters were getting rough in there; the point is that it wasn't rough enough for a fighter to be disqualified. I've seen Hopkins do more fouls in one round than the combined fouls of both these guys during the fight.

bull**** DQ, both guys fought dirty, disgraceful refereeing. Chaves was winning the fight.

This was a close, dirty, and gritty fight. The worst part to me was the fact that Chaves was trying to act innocent as if he did nothing wrong. As if the he didn't hold, didn't eye gauge, didn't use his head. Give me a break. There was points were Chaves would push his head into Rios for 5 seconds and then look at the ref as if Rios was doing something wrong. Then Chaves has the balls to claim he was giving a lesson.

Did you watch the replay of what caused the DQ? Even is slow motion there was nothing to see. Chavez's free hand was visible the whole time

had Chaves fought from the outside it would had been a schooling, He was ****** for doing all that holding

[ChampBox@PR]

**** Draculick, he refereed Castillo-Mayweather 1 and he messed it up too along with the judges

This ref deducts a point for holding in one of the early rounds tonight, yet was the ref for Khan/Collazo and let Khan get away with about 50 clinches PER ROUND. Sickening. And I'm not even saying that as a Chaves fan. I thought it was a close fight, and the winner would assert himself in the last round and a half.

If anyone fowled at the end it was Rios with his head. I didn't see a thumb in anyone's eye. I thought it was a close fight and I don't thing there should have been any point deductions nor should there have a DQ. This is a BS ref!

Rios always fights like that.

[LAFIRPO]

As far as some people here claiming eye gouging you can't eye gauge with today's gloves. The gloves don't have detached thumbs.

Rios was very ugly at times and may have over complained, however Chaves was dirty at times......although I didn't see it at the end of the fight.

I don't agree with the stoppage but still my point is still valid. Chaves and Rios were both dirty. Rios at least owned up to his fouls. Unlike Chaves who would foul then give the ref puppy dogs eye to try and act as if he was innocent.
