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

Why don't they do this to black boxers that clinch too much?

Really dude?



Those damn black boxers right.

The DQ was a joke.
The ref didn't look like he saw anything , or was planning to do anything until Rios complained out-loud.

Chaves was dirty but so was Rios with his head.
Chaves a point up with 1 and a half rounds left..the ref could of let the fight see it's self out. He was awful in there tonight.

What a messy fight.

It's considered crafty when they do it

I thought it was a rough and tumble fight that was stopped erroneously by a ref. It benefited Rios and Chaves got robbed of a possible win.

It's as simple as that.

Just another crappy night of boxing. LOL.

I didn't see anything to worry Thurman or Kell Brook for that matter. It was dirty and compelling, but skill? Not the boxing type. Chaves was getting the better of any boxing, but dirt flew both ways. I'm sure the DQ saved the judges from anouncing a rediculous win for Rios.

Nah, bro, Chaves was ahead on 2 scorecards...

Dracula-B#tch needs to be called onto the carpets by the NSAC. Man, what a joke. Both fighters fouling, extremely close fight with Chaves up by a point, and here comes yet another huge ego ref sticking his nose into the outcome. Wow, I'm speechless. NSAC better get busy. They have alot of work to do... or this type ignorance can cost the sport big in the long run.

Vic Drakulich ruined the fight

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Even without the stoppage this fight was nowhere near the hype people had for it. TBH I was starting to visit other tabs on my browser and left my stream up so I could listen in.

If the most talked about things of your fight are the points deduction and the DQ, its a terrible fight in general.

Nah, the fight itself was pretty good. I doubt it'd be a Fight of the Year candidate like most people expected but it was still a close and entertaining fight that fans were willing to see all the way through (which, thanks to the bogus DQ, didn't happen).

I dont know why people are complaining about rios head? he has always fought like that even in the amateurs. chaves wanted to slug it out early but once he realized rios has an iron chin. chaves started to hold and would also use elbows. The way chaves fought from the 3rd to 8th rounds you could tell he wanted no more trades with rios.
