    That's bs....he should give El Rayo a rematch. They would both make some $$$ since their fight was such a good one. Hopefully the Bee's managers will make him rematch.

    Smart move 130 is weaker he doesn't belong at 135 he would get stopped in the rematch.

    Yes, but not at Colbert. Colbert didn't judge the fight. The three piece of **** judges did. Although I had Valenzuela winning 96-94, it could have easily been 96-93. At worst, it could have been a draw.

    On another note, Valenzuela isn't escaping without being criticized. ANYONE who knows boxing should realize that you need to make a lasting impression on the judges that you are winning the fight. Valenzuela took some rounds off, or Colbert won them if that's how you want to see them, and he has no one to blame but himself. He let Colbert work his way back into the fight and that made it appear a lot closer than it was.

    It was a decent fight and there should be a rematch.

    I didn't actually watch the whole fight. I was only partially paying attention because I was doing other stuff at the time but I'd be pretty pissed at my opponent too initially if they were celebrating a victory in front of me they didn't deserve or I genuinely felt strongly they didn't.

    But refusing a rematch after a highly controversial win because your opponent is sore loser is a lame excuse and that's more what I was alluding to

    True, I think he knows if Rayo turns it up he’d get stopped. It’s funny cause the lessons he learned in his first fight played against him. The way he fought yesterday would have worked out better against the dude he got stopped by, but against Colbert he should have turnt it up and just went for the KO.

    Colbert calling Valenzuela a "sucka a** n****" cracked me up. He started out showing respect but then got tired of Valenzuela's crying and flipped.

    I had Valenzuela winning, of course, and thought it was a bad decision (not a robbery, tho).

    I think he should have been mad at the judges and not Colbert but there should be a rematch. Colbert will hopefully come around.

    Colbert won the fight. Rayo had it in the bag but let Colbert back in it and got outboxed. Close decision but like him or not the right guy was given the win.

    Wait till Colbert gets robbed of a decision, he better have the same energy and not be a "sore loser".

    Of course it is, but it's still a ***** move.
