114-113? Shit like that should be an automatic loss of license to judge.

What about Ward, he's not locked up by HBO?

Not sure they feel he can push PPVs. They were probably hoping for Donaire to get there.

lol he even started off by apologizing for his performance.
Probably feel he's too clean cut.
And LOL, Nonito had every excuse in the book there, struggled making weight, torn ligaments, didn't study.

is HBO just cutting their budgets massively or something? Shit just isn't the same without Lampley and co.

The head of Showtime Sports used to be the attorney for Golden Boy.
It sucks to hear Roy speak now, I remember back when he said he'd stop fighting before he ends up punch drunk, he's definitely suffered some brain damage if you listen to the way he speaks now vs how he spoke 10 years ago.

He's been looking flabby in the last few fights, glad guillermo got the win he deserved and didn't get robbed.
Donaire got boxed up and then made excuses. The excuses have really changed my opinion of him.
What a fantastic fight on Saturday night. Rios-Alvarado II was amazing but Rigondeaux-Donaire is the type of fight that reminds of why I love boxing.
Unbelievably high level of skill displayed on both sides. Every second was filled with tensions. I was surprised to see so many people calling the fight boring after the fact. Even when they weren't fighting the were keeping each other on edge with faints and positioning/ring-generalship.
Looking ahead, it seems like 126 is going to be one of the best weight classes over the next 2-3 years. Donaire, Mares, Rigondeau (assuming he moves up too), Mijares, ,Salido, Ponce De Leon, Juan Manuel Lopez, Jhonny Gonzalez, Chris John. God damn. So many good and/or fan friendly fights. This will be fun.

I agree. I'm also shocked at the amount of people in the boxing press and in boxing fandom making excuses for him. He fought well but he lost. I can't believe how many people are saying that he did not bring his A game. He fought well but the fight that played out was the result of Rigondeaux's skill.

who yall got,trout or saul?
Cunningham's speed was too much initially but once he slowed down, you could see fury working him hard. I admittedly haven't seen all of fury's fights but can't remember the last time I saw him in a boring match. He loves to scrap which is good for heavyweight boxing.

Wlad UD12 Fury all day every day.
I'm going with Trout losing by shady split decision after clearly winning 6 or 7 rounds.
