Comments Thread For: Daniel Roman: I Came Up Short, I Want Akhmadaliev Rematch

[glenn mcrory]

Danny knows how to lose. He got out hussled by a guy with no real advantage, just a better will to win. I was talking Roman up before the fight, but I could see doubt in his attitude and backed off. Roman talks like a sparring partner and allowed Akhmo to lead, but had the strength to close strong. Roman could have fought like the 12th round all night, but his mind isn't right.

This is why people have laughably wide scorecards for Akhmadaliev.

Akhmadaliev can eek out rounds by a single punch being perceived to be “harder”, but Roman has to literally wail on him to get them.

There was nothing remotely competitive about the 12th, the only round everyone gave him.

Akhmadaliev never even came close to having a round like that but of course, he didn't need to.

The commentary told you all you needed to know. Mora was probably invisible that night.
Otherwise we would've seen him sucking Akhmadaliev off all night.

Yea I can understand the frustration. Valid points of how rounds are viewed. More frustrating when it's a title fight.

Roman had a good 12th round partly because I think MJ let him by taking the round off. That said Roman said he only had a 6 week training camp so lets see a rematch with a proper 10 week camp.
