Round 1: 10-9 Salido
Round 2: 10-9 Salido

20-18 Salido

 

HAHAHAHA and people thought Farmer would beat Tank? It's actually a blessing in disguise that Farmer lost, because I think Tank might have seriously hurt the guy.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Salido
Round 2: 10-9 Salido
Round 3: 10-9 Roman

29-28 Salido

 

Hard to believe it was almost eight years ago that we saw Mickey Román in that "grudge match" with childhood rival Antonio Escalante (whom Román had beaten up in a street fight over a decade earlier) and that even then he was considered a tough but limited journeyman (a seven year veteran of the sport already by that point), a barely ESPN main event level guy whose best days were probably in the rear view mirror with a warring style that usually takes a heavy toll on fighters, with the loss to Escalante heralding what for many guys in his position could have been his last big hurrah, and that here we are a few weeks from it being 2018 and he is headlining an HBO card, while Escalante's star has has long since faded into oblivion.

 

Oh. Never mind then. I don't care about that stuff.

 

RBR scores all over the place not a single round unanimous.

 

Idk man, have you read the comments? People saying Farmer put on a slick defensive clinic and Ogawa just got it for coming forward. Sounds like both fought the way they normally do, but the judges were just not into Farmer's thing on the night.

The outcome, given all the controversy around it and different views of it that we're getting, shouldn't really alter perceptions of how a Davis vs. Farmer would go.

 

DAMN! Siri hurt very badly in the middle of the fourth. He was floored so hard you could actually see him shaking the cobwebs, literally, head jerking side to side with his eyes glossed over as he looked confused and palmed the canvas seeking a grip to push himself up...

Did well to hang on and battle Román off for the next minute-plus until the stool break. This is vintage Salido.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Salido
Round 2: 10-9 Salido
Round 3: 10-9 Roman
Round 4: 10-8 Roman

38-37 Roman

 

38-37 Román, btw.

 

What a weird punch. Kind of a bolo.

 

Didn't watch the fight. Maybe Farmer did get robbed? I'll be honest I haven't seen much of Ogawa but I'm highly doubting he's even close to being on Davis' level. It could just be ignorance but I think that's a fair assumption to make based off his record.
