Jesse James Rodríguez Franco vs. Wisaksil Wangek & Murodjon Akhmadaliev vs. Ronny Rios RBR.

What? Why? He's a great fighter already!

 

Fernando Martínez will do nothing.

 

Hell of a night for boxing, with 2 young fighters shining.

And what an ass-whooping by Bam Rodriguez, that was like a young Pacquaio annihilating MAB. (Not to the same extent of course, SSR isn’t on Barrera’s level.)

 

I'd guess there have been many more Christian champions than Muslim champions throughout history.

You're right, it doesn't really matter though. Just thought I'd post that bait comment lol

 

How can you not see right now that he will be a superstar? He’s 22 and a champ, just schooled two guys he wouldn’t have been favored against, he was consistent and mature in his application, he looked like goddamn Lomachenko. The eye test doesn’t lie if you know boxing. He’s the real deal, bank on it.

 

You literally left out the fact that Cuadras and Rungvisai were both completely shot. And Rungvisai had looked like a shadow of his former self against poor competition going back 2-3 years and was coming into the fight at 35 years old and a long lay off.

 

Yes, focus on the boxing. I don’t care about your delusional excuses. Boxing, movement.. very good yeah?

 

You deserve a mega pimp slap across the face for being such an idiot and wasting our oxygen.

 

The idea that Sor Rungvisai was "shot" at 35 years old is a little much. Sure he was passed his prime, but he still looked pretty good. Fans have a tendency to do this a lot, use the age of an older fighter as an excuse when a younger fighter beats him. The thing to remember about Sor Rungvisai is that even when he beat Chocolatito, he rarely used the jab it was mostly just walking into the pocket and loading up with power shots. If I remember correctly, in Chocolatito Sor Rungvisai 1, many thought that Chocolatito was robbed, that he outpointed Sor Rungvisai but didn't get the decision. He certainly used the jab more, and if I recall landed more shots overall, but also got knocked down. With Sor Rungvisai landing the more eye catching power shots and winning many close rounds.

Many casuals can easily misinterpret Sor Rungvisai's style the wrog way. He's not known as fighter that relies on or uses the jab much. It just so happened that Bam has a fantastic jab, and the jab difference made it seem like Bam was dominating and winning rounds easily, when in fact this fight was relatively close. Sor Rungvisai was catching Bam with shots, but Bam was just outjabbing him and getting the better of him in most of the rounds. So all of a sudden this would make it seem like Sor Rungvisai must be shot because he's being dominated, when in actual fact that's not what happened. Sor Rungvisai even appeard to score a KD on Bam that the ref ruled a slip. But a punch seemed to land right before the "slip" so that seems to me to have been a bad call by the ref and should have been a KD.

But Sor Rungvisai's age shouldn't take away from Bam putting on a masterful performance, showing incredible footwork and a high level skillset. A great jab, at times putting punches together and catching Sor Rungvisai with big shots. It wasn't a flawless performance by Bam but he's clearly a force to be reckoned with. Claiming that Sor Rungvisai is shot is frankly ridiculous. He looked pretty good in there Bam is just on another level. Yes you can say Sor Rungvisai is past his best, but he's not a shell of himself or any of the other exaggerations people are making. The lack of a Sor Rungvisai jab is nothing new, he's a fighter that gets inside, then loads up with power shots. Sor Rungvisai showed he still has a hell of a chin to stand up to all those bombs and never really go down. But his face was definitely marked up more than he's probably even been and that's because Bam is not only high skilled but is a very heavy puncher.

 

Ancajas was never as good as SSR and Cuadras in the first place, so a victory over him doesn't count for as much. Even if they are past it, they aren't totally shot seeing as they still compete at the top level very well. Not to mention that Martinez had a much tougher fight than Bam did in his two fights. I'd say two wins over legends is better than beating a single mere beltholder who avoided facing any of the fellow champs in his division. Martinez is good, but not nearly as good as Bam Rodríguez.

 

I just find it weird that a Muslim from Indonesia somehow feels kinship with one from Algeria when there's nothing alike about them. You don't get this with other religions, especially one as large as Islam. It's like an Irish Catholic celebrating a Brazilian Catholics victory, there's no real allegiance to them, just a shared made up set of rules that their own version of sky daddy devised. Thankfully Catholics aren't the types to fanboy that way, because it's really annoying and really stupid.

 

It's quite impressive the victory he got and specially the way he got this victory. I'm really impressed.

The stoppage was BS though, but the beating and the boxing lesson was for real. Incredible display of boxing by rodríguez. I saw rungvisai a bit off too, but it doesnt matter, I'm very impressed by rodríguez' performance.

 

Ancajas vs current Cuadras, I'd lean towards Ancajas slightly but with Sor Rungvisai I think Ancajas struggles a lot and probably loses.
