Apparently nobody here is aware of how exactly Bob Arum sets up rematches?

Might as well..Bob doesntreally have options for Axe Man

"Fan of no boxer. Just a boxing fan." Then, "this is coming from a Walters fan." Credibility lost there for one. This was a close / competitive fight is laughable at best. This was nothing more than a one sided sparring session with a gritty sparring partner coming to win. In all seriousness great effort by Sosa but he CLEARLY lost 9/10 rounds. Stevie Wonder could see that!

haha i dont mean it literally.
fan of many boxers.

I didn't agree with this or the Rosado decision tonight. At least Walters didn't get an L. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth having an opinion about a competitive fight until the cards get announced. In my mind both were clear.

You thought clottey won? Based on what? He knew he lost that fight look at his face before they read the scores. I went into that fight picking him to win and I don't know why I did that he always disappoints you. Stunk up the joint with Manny had cotto on the ropes and let that fight slip away. Dude just doesnt let his hands go enough. Perfect fight for him on paper against rosado and he just got out worked. If I never see clottey again it will be too soon.

Why are people acting like Sosa didn't do a lot of clean work? The HBO team made it sound like dude wasn't landing anything.

I agree I thought Sosa lost but I was shocked how wide HBO was scoring it and how they described the action. There were a ton of close rounds and they gave everyone to Walters despite him getting hit flush a ton by sosa. This was not a shutout fight like HBO kept describing. One thing is clear walters didn't look great and doesn't appear to have the same power against bigger guys since moving up.

I saw the fight, and posted my opinion in the wrong section, I spoiled it for a few guys, my bad! Now I got a few haters, no problem. My bad,

Walters won that fight, in my opinion! They both dropped big bombs! The kinda bombs that would have sent Donaire into a coma! It was toe to toe war. I think it was a bad decision, but ok. I want to see it again!

PAC fans need to show they are real boxing fans, and create slow motion threads to prove whatever it is they want to believe. Most will be pro Sosa, because Walters beat their other GOD Donaire!!

Sosa fought a good fight but he clearly lost if you were actually looking at what was landing and what wasn't. That's all I can say.

Walters looked like ass to be honest. Sosa isn't that good.

I mean, obviously it wasn't 10-0 like Lederman had it, but come on. Walters obviously won.

Walters was going to get a shot at Uchiyama if he won. Arum had no reason to screw Walters.

He didn't look good in his last fight either.I haven't seen the fight yet but when I saw Walters vs Marriaga, my first thought was that if Walters didn't have a ridiculous size advantage that Marriaga would have done damage. I'm not sold on him as a top fighter yet, just a big fighter.
