Why is everyone so upset by the attempted thumbing?
I would be more upset about the blatant rubbing his wrists across rios facet eying to cut him with the tape

I didn't see any attempted thumbing at all.

Oh no? Here we go.
Rios was adjusting to those rights, I didn't see any in the last 2 rounds. Chavez was desperate and probably losing the last 2 -> Rios win by UD.

DAMMIT YOU PEOPLE ARE ******! Where else do you expect your head to go if your opponent is holding BOTH your arms near the elbows since early in the fight?

Dumbass I said he's hitting him with his head before Chaves clinched him. It's on the way in hay he gets hit! Can't u read moron????

If Chaves didn't hold and grab, Rios would've connected a lot more shots on the inside.

And maybe Rios would've stopped him. Chaves was afraid of getting hurt in the inside because he respected Rios' inside game and power.

That's the bottom line. He can go talk crap, but at the end of the day Chaves resorted to dirty tactics to avoid being tagged by Rios' shots.

If Garcia is OK with this DQ, it would only be fitting if Maidana gets DQ'd in the Floyd rematch. It's no way Garcia can defend Maidana and defend Rios at the same time. If it was OK for Maidana to fight the way he did, then why was it NOT OK for Chaves to fight the way he did. 2 judges had Chaves winning the fight. Floyd gave Maidana an immediate rematch, Rios needs to do the same.
