ESPN2 FNF: Billy Dib vs. Evgeny Gradovich & Willie Nelson vs. Michael Medina RBR

Curtis is out to use boxing to promote himself and is falling flat on his friggin face.

 

Not really.. I put it up there when I was trolling one day and am just to lazy to bring it down.

 

:yep

 

Great fight. Dib deserves a rematch, and so do the fans. Would be a great undercard bout on a bigger main event card.

 

Yep.

Anyone who stands up to Dib will beat him, He's after fame more then anything.

 

Hey Milpy, I'm guessing you're from Lakemba. :hey

 

I don't know. Way too many tie ups for me.

 

You had an agenda. Hence your scores.

 

Oh snap, just won $550

Gradovich at +225 was the easiest betting decision I've ever made

 

Fight wasnt even really close. Gradovich doesnt need to fight him again

 

well I agree about the holding but the competition was great. Maybe a
better referee would have taken control a bit earlier.

 

This was a very entertaining fight, despite all the holding. I scored the fight for Gradovich, 8-4 rounds, 115-111 points. I gave Dib the first three rounds and the 8th round (when the two 1-point deductions occurred). Several of the rounds were close, with both fighters in close, but Gradovich was a bit busier, landed a bit cleaner, and landed the bigger blows, though none were fight-changers. The fight was scrappy enough that I expected point deductions, though when they did occur, it wasn't clear why. I would like to see Gradovich again, he is very fan friendly, but he is technically very, VERY raw, and someone with more power and polish would have nailed him any number of times in this fight. Still, he's with a good trainer in Garcia, so maybe he can develop further. Finally, BOO ESPN for skipping postfight interviews for some stupid talking head show!!!
