    Baker looks 20lbs lighter than Rodriguez, this doesn't look like it will last long.

    Baker used to spar with Mayweather in his prime, right? Roger, that is...

    Round 1

    Rodriguez is teeing off with lead uppercuts with both hands, fists alternately flying up from either hip toward the ceiling. Baker is covering up well, elbows pinned close and fists bunched over his face. No punches coming back from Baker except the odd light jab. Rodriguez is frequently mashing Baker against the ropes with combos, and then going back to his side-sweeping uppercut alternation.

    10-9 Rodriguez

    So if two judges are paid off beforehand by promoters or gamblers or whomever to score for Fighter A regardless but Fighter A and Fighter B know nothing of it, you would not call that a fix?

    God damn...Baker's one tough mofo. Even though he took a beating, there's something about the way he came back at the end of the round that makes me wonder if he might come back in the same way he did the last time out.

    I've thought it would be very difficult to outpoint Dirrell. The knock downs were decisive. Without them this could go to Dirrell. But still, congrats to my man DeGale. Huge win nevertheless. If it wasn't for that controversial Groves loss, he would be undefeated by now.

    Savigne very nearly had Baker out of there in the first round before he got caught.
