    Evidently Ruiz had money on Silva. That was absolutely atrocious officiating, he even stopped it in a bit of a lull.

    He should've given Espino a standing 8 count. Bad stoppage.

    I don't have any problem with 10-9 Canelo that round, that's reasonable. It's as if you scored the round 10-10 outside of the knockdown. Or if you think Trout would have won the round 10-9 if not for the KD, but the KD was so good that makes it a 2 point swing. I would be fine with 10-8 Canelo or 10-9 Canelo that round.

    I'm saying that in the case of Molina Val round 6, the knockdown wasn't great like Canelo's KD of Trout. It was a borderline slip, so in a borderline KD like that, that could have been ruled a slip, it shouldn't swing that round more than 1 point from what it would have been had it been ruled a slip. If it was a KD like Canelo's of Trout, then I would be fine with 10-9 Val or even 10-8 Val. But since it was a borderline KD at best, and he was clearly outpointed in the rest of the round, and Molina put it on him at the end, I can't score the round for Val in a round he clearly lost and got lucky with the ref scoring that a KD. So 9-9 is a fairer score than 10-9 Val or 10-8 Val.

    The problem with the 10 point must is that judges are prohibited from scoring rounds with KDs 10-10 (even). Which is clearly the most accurate score in a round like Molina Val Round 6. We complain all the time about official judges and how they score wrong, yet I get crucified for scoring a round like that more accurately (even) than they are even allowed to lol.

    Stoppage too quick, it wasn't like Espino was some no hope schlub taking a sustained beating. Got to give the guy a chance there ref. Maybe the ref had Silva in the prediction thread as well

    Not a bad fight. Quesrionable stoppage. However I believe the ref did give Espino enough chance to throw something back. Probably should have let him go down swinging.

    Espino was badly hurt and ate a lot of big flush shots but he seemed to be in a better state than he was 20 seconds earlier.

    Silva has a bald Mexican Maury Chaykin for a trainer.

    I have a feeling these prelims are going to be way better than the PPV undercards. I'm really enjoying these opening bouts.

    Katie Taylor looking a bit like the singer in a Metal band there, an all male one. She doesn't usually look like that but she's looking thick and the hair and T-shirt give her a more manly look

    "I mentioned to Ak over there." How odd hearing something that asinine actually leaving someone's mouth.

    It's a pity her voice isn't quite as soothing as a Norwegian Black Metal singer.
