it is not a filipino thing. viloria always gives a good fight. he defeated solis and segura in the year that andre ward won the foty. i believed that resume is greater than winning the super 3. if you just saw galahad fought a bum whose last three fights have more losses than wins, who am i o say you are not a fan of a boxer. it is you cup of tea, not mine. but you are accusing me of 'filipino card' when kid galahad is a uk fighter too, and simply not possible to watch where i am.
Apologies, I didn't take TV coverage into account. Yeah I saw him fight Segura, he's a talented guy. (Though Segura was moving up.) I do disagree about his resume being better than Wards.
Ulises Solis and Segura are better than Wards's last year's resume. And the way he won it is better than Ward's as well. He was underdog in both fights as well, infact, severely underdog. Segura is quite a big fighter to begin with and they actually sparred before. So weight is not an issue. I can PM you the fight. It was a chessmatch at the beginning because Romero really is an underrated counterpuncher, and it really was a good fight.
Come on, Ward's win over Froch is easily better than Viloria's wins, Segura was moving up and in doing so gave away the only advantage he has over other good fighters (being so much bigger than them). Without that he's just a crude slugger, although it was an upset and a good win for Viloria I don't rate it that highly. Let's see him fight Tyson Marquez or Mthalane, or even Mayol who beat Miranda (Viloria's other "big win" last year) much more clearly. He also didn't beat Solis last year.
