    Saad wasn’t dominant over Conteh for most of the fight but he beat him down at the end and won a deserving decision.

    And the line was all about Conteh being shot coming in but he clearly wasn't ..

    The best example ever is Pacquiao/De La Hoya. Literally nobody gave Pacquiao any shot of even lasting the distance beforehand. He was going in to be butchered. Selling out for the paycheck.

    The fight happens and Pacquiao beats De La Hoya worse than anyone expected Oscar to beat him.

    Afterwards, nobody gave Pacquiao any credit whatsoever for the win.

    Not saying the reasoning wasn’t justified or anything like that, but I’ve never seen such a dramatic shift as the before and after for that fight.

    You claiming it was a domination for Saad is far worse than anyone claiming Conteh was shot.

    Johnson -Jeffries , not immediately but soon after ... I know the whole story .. that said Jeffries didn't winnow minute of one round the whole fight ... after a year plus of exhibitions and training he didn't even show except heart ..
