I mean abril is an holding boring fighter to me, yet rios in my wildest dreams won 7 out of 12 rounds. this tops sturm vs de la hoya or schulz vs foreman. this robbery is crazy. abril just landed much more and rios only landed armshot or abrils back. I scored a lot of 10/10 rounds in that fight, but at the end abril won, clearly.
Abril clearly won, but the bittersweet feeling started to creep in in the last round, because it was a Bob Arum promoted show, Rios is the star fighter on the bill and Abril was a late replacement, is not a ticket seller with almost zero fan base and isn't a Bob Arum fighter, so he needed a knockout to win, no way were they going to let him lose.
Abril stocks are going up, like Lara after PW Rios was seriously exposed. Arum legacy grows by the day,buying judges and screwing boxing. I'm not surprised, but remember, sometimes by losing you are really winning.
I had it 10-2 for Abril, and that was being MAXIMALLY GENEROUS for Rios. Abril schooled him. Rios looked like a ****ing bum in there.
we all want to see **** drinker vs rios, if rios loses, then we won't, so arum did it for us fans lol
What a disgrace last night as well as today by some fans ..To think there are people who are trying to blame Abril for the way he boxed . Is it Abril's fault that Rios is a bralwer ? Is it Abril's fault brawlers usually get out boxed ? What worse is that no one was awarded the title .. It was a clinic ,Rios couldn't adjust ..What a horrible decision yet another blakc eye for the sport ! :twisted:
How was Rios exposed if he look really weak by trying to make weight? Anybody with a f4cking brain knows Abril fought a very weak weight drain Rios. If abril fought rios who fight the same way vs Acosta, Peterson, Abril wouldnt survive.
I'm a Paul Williams fan but damn Lara destroyed him in which Lara fought like a man not a b4tch like Abril. Abril disgrace the cuban country with the way he fought. Gamboa and Lara dont fight like scare fighters by running and clinching.
