    But for some reason I really don't feel that bad for Abril, as I do for the integrity of the sport of boxing. . .

    Abril held way too much for my liking. . . . Still he won that fight by such a wide margin it's not even CLOSE to being debatable.

    Who WERE the judges?

    I left the living room, for the kitchen when the fight ended, and the only judge's name I heard clearly enough was a referee, giving it to Abril.

    The second judge, I just smirked and just said, "meh, let them give him one."

    The 3rd judge, I was like "crapppp.."

    chavez vs whitaker wasnt a big robbery. it was a robbery, but not a big one. almost all rounds were close.

    How is this worse than williams vs Lara? Lara kicked williams ass and land hard clean shots. Abril just block and hold the whole time. neither hurt each other. and too me i though Rios landed more.

    Its loing list of fighter that would destroy and outclass Rios, he is/was so overrated he doesnt want to go up because he knows he cant beat good fighters in divisions above!

    he DID move up. he just didn't tell Abril. first weigh in two pounds over and then four pounds.

    Every time an unknown Cuban boxer fights a so called " elite " boxer you will see the same result , Williams made that mistake with Lara and if Rios wasn't a sietemesino he would have turned down this fight after the Gamboa debacle .He lost a la Williams : BADLY . Always knew that Abril was gonna school a bum fighter like Rios , it's all about Boxing education , Boxing School , even 2nd level Cuban boxers like Abril ( he lacks a punch ) can defeat overhyped so called elite like Rios and that's because they always go in the ring with a PLAN , they never go inside a ring a lo loco , looking for a ko or something ( like many mexicans ) , they like to box you and frustrate you while at it . Congrats to Abril for his victory and I hope he gets to fight JMM some day , not that illeterate culo Rios . Now let's wait for the next big robbery in May . Cotto and his Cuban trainer also have a plan ( a big one ) for Mayweather come fightnight but somehow I can't see PBF losing . Peace .

    Kid Cubano, would you then agree with me that Andy Lee has no chance against JccJR in Texas unless he gets ko then?

    even if he KO's junior, Arum will find a way to screw Lee.
