Comments Thread For: Rodriguez Explains Why He Rejected 'Heavy' Luis Nery

[indelible]

There's no excuse for this cowardly move by team Rodriguez. Figueroa fought a guy that came in 4 pounds heavy on the same card because hes a professional and understands that the show must go on. I ordered the dazn app specifically for this fight and now I cant even cancel because their customer service keeps beating around the bush.

Yes and that may have an affect on Figueroa in terms of limiting his career as a pro boxer since he took a lot of hard shots from Ceja with no defense to show for it. Rodriguez and his crew made the right decision to not go through with the fight. That shows how much they care for Rodriguez as a person than money

Lol at you contradicting yourself. A professional shouldn't be repeatedly missing weight just to have an advantage in the ring. Your name already shows ignorantly biased you are here. The guy's history of missing weight & getting busted cheating says enough. Get in the ring & fight somebody that didn't make weight & balloons up 2 divisions after & see if you care with your career on the line that "the show must go on". Your Figueroa comment was even more ignorant. Figueroa made his choice to fight Ceja with his weight advantage & it almost cost him the fight. Suggest you read the last Figueroa article for his thoughts on Ceja missing weight. & take Nery's nuts out your mouth while you're in the process. Smh.

So you paid for DAZN to watch a FOX PBC PPV? Wait what?

No wonder you guys hate DAZN... And to cancel you just do it in the app itself like you would for Netflix. If you're trying to get your money back then good luck.... You think Fox would give people money back for that PPV because the undercard was crap? No.

Nice bias for the drug cheat weight belly Luis Nery though. Chump.

Wait that was a PBC pay per view??? No wonder why the dazn people didn't know what the hell I was talking about. God dammit Rodriguez you screwed my whole night up!

What are you ******ed? Rodriguez was the professional that made weight. I’m sorry you missed the fight, but blame Nery. He didn’t even use the extra two hours to try to make weight.

Are you just joking or are you really that ******???

Calm down red bar. I know you Ricans love Rodriguez but he straight up punked out of the fight over 1 measly pound.

[Tatabanya]

Wise choice by Rodriguez.

On the other hand, too bad the fight didn't happen. Rodriguez could very well have beaten Nery and burst his contaminated bubble.

Blame the guy in your pic, not Rod. He took this fight when most BY FAR would not after losing the way he did vs Inoue. Matter a fact this was one of the biggest "real dog" moves in boxing of late. He showed up, and made weight, and Nery did not(again). His career was on the line he did smart thing and calling him a coward is just plain ignorant. Seeing your pic and reading your post your are not at all unbiased.

Cowardly move by Rodriguez? Double standard much? No one should take you seriously because of your obvious bias towards all Mexican fighters. Nery tested positive for his first title fight with Yamanaka and was way over weight in the rematch which effectively ended the true champ Yamanaka's career due to damage he incurred from Nery's cheating. If anyone is a coward it's Nery. I can smell the BS in your statement from here. People like you, who condone cheaters if they have the same ethnic background as you do are a disgrace and should never be considered real fans.

[theface07]

Yeah, I can't imagine many people outside of Nery's diehard supporters who would have sympathy for him.

Dude can't make the weight limit anymore. Time to stop wasting everyone's time and move up.

Yes and the reason he can't make weight anymore is the same reason that Canelo had to move up 2 weight classes. He's already been caught using a banned substance to aid him in cutting weight and now he has to fight at his actual weight without the use of PEDs. It's pretty damn obvious. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
