The young kid Vegas looked good getting the stoppage today. WTF is this BS they got to wait for a football game to finish before the last two fights? Hopefully Maloney can make the necessary adjustments to win today but I still favour Franco who looked good in the first fight.
We got robbed. Moloney was looking the goods so what does the ref do? Insists there was a headbutt when there wasn't & takes Franco to the doctor twice so it gets stopped before 4 rounds are up & doesn't go to the scorecards. They then spent 30 minutes reviewing one round of action trying to find a headbutt that didn't exist & ended proceedings by concluding that it did. There will likely be another fight but Moloney should have got the win in that one.
Mora was the bowtie wearing muppet who farked the Mares-Agbeko fight. He shouldn't keep getting fights at this level.
U Umm dunno but i saw a head clash at about the 55second mark of the first round, and possibly another one which was really hard to see clearly, BUT did that in itself cause the eye to shut OR did maloneys jabs or and a thumb in the eye exacerbate it or cause it by itself? The ref is the closest guy to the action and saw a butt which he associated as the reason for the closed eye. Whether or not it is one or the other or a combination of everything is a little hard to discern. Andre ward saw a butt and garcia said his fighter complained of being butted in the corner for whatever that is worth. Unlucky and **** poor ending to a fight feel sorry for both guys. rematch asap. Cant believe brook got hurt from that punch that bad, i had him 3 rounds up, 3rd was close, surgery has ****ed his punch resistance up. Eddie hearn your a **** mate.

Maloney robbed big time - no head butts there. It was the jab/thumb in the eye to make it blow up that quickly.
Andre Ward (3 balls) is about as reliable as Donald Trump. Show me the video of a headbutt. Show me the boxing rules that allow this type of decision.
As watarock said, ward is a master of the headbutt. Rewatch the first round carefully, its in there, but that may have had no bearing on the eye. The ref is closest to the action and made the call. Find it yourself ya lazy ass bum.
