Why everybody saying Sadam Ali got set up?

[N/A]

Where is that one dude who works in boxing? the wba wbc wbo ibf dude?

I have no connection to the WBO.

I thought this was good last minute matchmaking when the fight was announced. I didn't realise that Munguia was that much bigger though, this was a complete physical mismatch. Ali did his best, fought with guts and even had the odd moment but it was a David and Goliath fight, Munguia might as well have been Godzilla in there. I don't know if he was "sold out" per se but Ali's promoters have a lot to answer for - I admit that I didn't foresee this being such a mismatch but I'm not in that kind of business, Ali's team are. That was the kind of fight where a guy can get majorly damaged and I feel like Ali might have been spared that by the referee (and not the useless ringside doctor.)

They matched their own guy up with a dude that was twice his size on short notice... Ali should be heated

Ali was always going to lose his first title defence. I don't see it.

Mungia was in 170 pounds

Ali in 169 pounds.

Period.

This "sellout" stuff does not wash with me. I see it more as not protecting him. Champions though should not be protected. Tonight we saw a small jr middle fight a very large one. What can I say, when you are young you can dehydrate like crazy LOL


That kid is not done growing yet. In another year or two he will be a large super middle

[A.K]

It was a short notice fight, but set up idk cause it’s Ali’s fault for not knowing what he’s getting into.

Yeah, at the weighin. Have you seen the actual fight?

Is not the fault of Munguía he weighted 152 pounds in the weight in

This matchup smelled funny as f#ck to me, but yea idk about a setup.

Ali ain't THAT f#cking good anyway first off. You need a setup to have insured he WON his first defense lmfao.
