[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BILOXI, MISS. - In a telecast showcasing four fights that lasted a total of 13 rounds with 11 knockdowns and four knockouts, boxing fans were treated to a night of sensational Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike action from the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Miss. The evening culminated with an unforgettable all out war between light heavyweights Edwin Rodriguez and Michael Seals.

Rodriguez came out swinging from the first bell, dropping Seals in the first 30 seconds of the bout with a hard left. Seals hit the canvas, got back on his feet and dropped Rodriguez not even 30 seconds later. With 10 seconds to go in the first round, Seals dropped Rodriguez again, putting round one in the running for "Round of the Year." [Click Here To Read More]

You got your glassy-ass chinned 0 taken. Glass shatters, its what it does.

Ref let it continue because he was able to get up.....Seals was trying to breakdance when he got dropped hard-good stoppage imo....no controversy here.

Is Seals still suffering from a concussion? He was the one badly hurt in the second round. However, this was a good fight in which both fighters were evenly matched and a rematch would be entertaining and a great learning experience for them.

I hope both fighters grow from this fight, but I feel there's even more they could learn in a rematch.

That was a hell of a fight. You guys say he's not thinking right? I always said a quick KO is easier to forget than a long ugly beating.

Were you at the fight? Both fighters were throwing bombs. This is a fight begging for a rematch. Hope it happens. Both fighters proved they have guts and serious power.

Getting hurt by someone doesn't mean they have power. Probably plenty of other guys who could take these guys' "bombs". More an indicator of glass than anything.

As fun as this was, I don't know if I want a rematch. Dude got knocked and was trying to celebrate his "win" right afterwards. A rematch would be cruel.

It was aa highly entertaining fight but both of these guys are soo bad. Some of the punches that Edwin throws...calling them haymakers would be an insult to haymakers.

If it's an indication of a glass chin on Seals and not Rodriguez, why did Rodriguez get dropped hard? Twice? And he barely made it up after both times. I was barely 6 rows from ringside. I saw it. Guy was in pathetic shape both times.

Both got glass. Only see one guy complaining though.
