    There was only 6 months between the Pulev and Jennings fights. Don't you remember the praise he got on here for beating Pulev?

    One of his best performances they said.. Not even Ali could avoid that left hook they said.

    The difference maker was Wlad fought Pulev in Germany on a bouncy castle with a ref who let him mug Pulev any way he wanted.

    No spongy canvas in the states and + a strict ref who deducted a point for holding = the poor performance.

    Any Wlad would have looked the same against Jennings cos he can't hit what moves nor can he fight guys off who come inside.

    Both Ortiz and Wlads stock plummeted after this fight :hello::smile:

    Jennings was definitely trying to win, but he played it as safe as possible.
    No idea wtf Rivas was doing.

    The count? :thinking: He got up from the knockdown and was then stopped on the ropes while Rivas pummelled him some more; Jennings was basically out on his feet.

    Do you copy/paste tags for RBR's? When I use them individually they always work.

    Uhh...can't speak for @CST80 but yes I absolutely copy and paste instead of transcribing each of dozens individually. :lol:

    Makes sense or it would take you forever :lol:
    I think that may be the issue though, perhaps a bug to fix.

    Rivas fights at a very weird tempo. He’s a very good counterpuncher by nature, likes to catch something on his gloves and then explode, so I think having to take the fight to Jennings who was being negative mixed with his ridiculous reach just isn’t his specialty. He’ll need to get used to that though, improving his stamina and developing a more consistent work rate and pressure game will be critical to his success in the future. He’s got the skills and power to take apart almost anyone who tries to mix it up with him, but most top heavyweights are smart enough not to do that.

    Eh, maybe...can't imagine the Xenforo forum software distinguishes between methods of text entry, though...

    I'll say this, I always open a post from earlier RBR threads for editing and select everything with the bb code to copy...since if you just highlight the block of text itself it probably won't translate over to render them as tags...but that doesn't explain it either because Chris does the same thing, and we haven't been able to get tags functioning now for months. Even just individual names in random posts. :nusenuse:

    Round 1 Rivas 10-9 Close
    Round 2 Rivas 10-9 Close
    Round 3 Jennings 10-9
    Round 4 Jennings 10-9
    Round 5 Rivas 10-9
    Round 6 Jennings 10-9
    Round 7 Jennings 10-9
    Round 8 Jennings 10-9
    Round 9 Jennings 10-9
    Round 10 Rivas 10-9
    Round 11 Rivas 10-9
    Round 12 Rivas TKO

    Rivas sure did live up to his nickname, even if it was only for one round. Jennings definitely learned his lesson from the Ortiz bout and didn't stand in the pocket with the bigger puncher,using his long reach to stick and move, but it just didn't work out for him and this goes to show how boxing truly is the theater of the unexpected. :chuck:

    Everyone needs to hold the phone with knee-jerk reactions here.

    1. Jennings is still a contender, even if only a fringe one, and is neither "done" nor a "never-was" opening a lens on reevaluating his past opponents' quality. While he may have been slightly down on minority of fan cards and two judges', the OVERWHELMING majority saw him not just up but comfortably up by several points after eleven.
    2. Jennings isn't fragile. Rivas when he puts his mind to it (even in spite of his technique leaving much to be desired) punches ****ing HARD. I'm not sure if they did a Sparq test he wouldn't register equal or greater than Wilder in raw hitting power.
    3. Rivas closed the show and bagged a nice scalp but let's slow down on anointing him the new conqueror of HW. What this last ditch explosion proved to me - preceded as it was by 11 rounds of Rivas clocking a meager output and failing to cut the ring off and make a dent in Jennings' defenses as the latter continued to outbox and outmaneuever him - is that he only has about that much TNT in him on a given night. Spread out across twelve rounds, that is akin to fighting a series of duels with eleven pea-shooters and one bazooka. Sure, if you can take proper aim with the bazooka to make the most of that one shot, great...but otherwise you're going to be outgunned. And I've always liked Rivas. But he isn't finally some dangerous threat now that he's finally stepping up. Years of stop and go activity have instilled him with poor habits I don't think he can easily break at this stage. He simply isn't and might never be a "three minutes of every round" fighter. He's a plodding, reserved stalker-puncher who doesn't like to have to really work for it.

    This reminded me a lot of Bermane Stiverne vs. Ray Austin, actually. I hate to insult Kaboom with that comparison as I have been a fan of his for a long time (since the amateurs) but honestly a lot of the appropriate critiques of him are echoes of Stiverne's own shortcomings.

    What are the jaw dropping stoppage I was watching it in the waiting room at the doctor's office and thought the fight stunk and was about to turn it off after 6 rounds I'm glad I wound up watching the end I couldn't believe the way he just turned it off in that last round and got him out of there

    I will say mark kriegle continues to annoy me

    Bradley said after 7 rounds or so it can be close and pointed to rivas activity and Jennings not commanding the pace and mark whose whole aim seems to argue with Bradley rather than call the fight acted like that was some out there theory

    turns out Bradley was right
