    Cards like these remind me why I love boxing. It's not about skill level, it's not about winning or losing, it's not about who he would or wouldn't beat, it's not about money, it's not about winning a "world title", it's not about a promoter changing how many rounds a fight will have just to make sure your fighter wins, it's just all about putting on a great and doing what you love. Cards like this remind me why I really love the fights here on ESPN2, Telemundo, Telefutura, etc. These really are the best. It's all heart, soul, passion, and putting on a great show.

    Rickys wins are as good as Kostyas. Not as great a fighter, but his resume is comparable.

    Not the first time he's pulled that.

    Plus, his style really turns me off. Just being an all-action brawler isn't enough to impress me. His form is stomach turning and he misses more than the Seattle Mariners.

    Plus, he padded up his win column before getting destroyed by Pantera - and then all of a sudden he's a top contender and TV fixture? WTF? There are far more deserving guys. And he seems to give off the impression that he feels he deserves it (not from anything said verbally to my recollection, but in his body language...stuff like raising his arms to play to the crowd after landing big shots, etc.)

    Hints of being dirty too. The after the bell shot, and something against George (can't recall what)

    Thanks for that. :good

    I too saw subtle (and some not so subtle) dirty-ness from him in there. Very wild, esp. once he was tired.

    I couldn't stop hearing Teddy continually pullin' for him...:!:

    Definitely has traces of being dirty and I hate his body language too. The last 4 rounds of that fight he was just coasting, he doesn't seem to be a real brawler either judging by the way he turns away after getting hit.

    Good card tonight. I love when FnF isn't showcasing some up-n-coming prospect type, but just puts in well matched fighters.

    Gonzalez ain't going far, but they put on a show. Blood? Yup. Knockdowns? Two!! Almost all Powershots? Hell Yeah!!

    Can't ask for much more, wish that Sierra had a little more in the tank to make the final 3 rounds a little better, but **** it.. great fight.
