Did Abril get robbed against Rios

He most definitely did get robbed, brah. People can say he stunk the joint, but I personally felt he put in a very clever display that not many fighters could pull off. Rios ain't no joke on the inside, and Abril sonned him.

 

Spot on!

 

Its almost as if your wanting to somehow prove rios won this fairly............

 

Hermit yes im in that post debating with him now

Hold? well if look at it differently was abril holding as much as observers say , he just stood his ground at times and didnt stand square on and had his right hand up guarding which didnt give rios much to attack, Rios was the one trying to hit on the inside much ti his frustration, he could have kept his space and tried to fight that way right???

Erm no ofcourse not he`d have got his ears further boxed off!!! So as for the holding stuff it was as much Rios fault as it was Abril ... Its called a clash of styles but rios fans chose to blame Abril.

But as rudyard has said why should abril fight to Rios strengths, how about rios try and keep space???? And yes you know why not.

You are one of a slim minority

Basically, Abril fought a negative, cagey fight and some fans find that frustrating. If their chosen fighter can't deal with it, then it's natural to hear things like: "he was making the fight" or my favourite "he was outworking him".

It's hurt feelings, mostly, rather than rational argument. Abril was being negative, but he was stopping Rios from being effective with legal tactics.

But, if the referee doesn't take points off and the "spoiling" fighter is landing the cleaner, more effective shots - well you have to give it to them. Just because Rios "came to battle" doesn't give him any special advantage.

 

Of course he was robbed, bruh.

 

Same here haha.

Weird.
