    Someone needs to get Silva out of Mexico and get him trained in the States. Garcia could do wonders for him. The kid has great upside.

    No way in hell any Angulo round could be called 10 - 8.
    I disagree with IB's scoring of that round, but that statement is ridiculous.

    Angulo was throwing a lot but Silva was curling up on the ropes and slipping or blocking a lot of them (although yes, getting slammed with many as well)

    The most hurtful single bombs by either man were landed by Silva early in the round.

    So many people get fooled by one guy just rampaging and throwing a million shots, not paying attention to what's actually landing.

    Whoever said Silva was almost knocked out, pinch yourself and rewind please.

    Silva landed some wicked shots early, but it was all Angulo in the last minute. IB's a bit off the mark this time, imo...but that happens to all of us at one time or another.

    That last round gave me a headache just watching it. They both block punches with their faces and I don't see what Angulo is hoping to accomplish but you can't be taking that kind of punishment from these lower tier fighters. Lazy style of just walking and throwing punches. No attempts at any defense or strategy. Good luck making it to the top with that plan.

    silva is very slick, didn't know Papa Morales could train that style.
    I think he would be nice with Jeff Mayweather.

    I didn't care about Angulo's spray-and-pray in the last minute. It was sloppy and not as effective as everyone seemed to think it was.

    Silva's early work held firm, IMO.

    10-8 would be a stretch but not absurd. Silva did nothing but try to unsuccessfully set up left hand counters. All while he was getting battered. Angulo must have outlanded him 3-1 in that round.

    What a fighter Silva was, loved how he waited and timed Angulo and took some good shots to land his own

    Angulo gets a D, what he shoulda done, body shots, he hurt Silva the most to the body and he didnt do enough to the body

    If these are the adjustments Hunter brings to Angulo i may be afraid for Khan

    Mate I respect your opinion massively on here but there was no chance you could have given that round to Silva. (who I thought had a great fight) Backing up taking huge shots constantly (he was hardly blocking even a quarter of those shots.) and basically being on the defensive as Angulo layed a pounding on him in round 10.
