    Tecuapetla is much better than his record indicats. He gave Yaegashi a tough fight many years ago.

    Also Rod was inactive when he fought Martin.

    I wonder if the WBO will order a FORTH straight mandatory fight for Ioka. :lol:

    WAY better against Tanaka, who is a way better opponent than Chihuas.

    Really baffling what we saw, many possible variables at play:

    • age catching up with Ioka suddenly?
    • just rust?
    • Chihuas doing his usual "fight up or down to his level of competition" routine and really committing to going balls-out?
    • Ioka just not being as prepared for the stylistic challenge of the durable, heavy-handed, awkward Rodríguez as he was for the more conventional (almost mirror-image of/slightly poorer version of himself) Tanaka? Similar to how Pacquiao had both rust and age as a factor versus Ugás but looked better against a better opponent in Thurman in part probably because Ugás was just a more difficult style for him?
    • Other factors? (lack of audience being disorienting, outside the ring troubles with the JBC weighing on him still, or as CST mentioned, Ioka possibly having gotten COVID to explain how weak he looked in the first half, although his rallying later sort of dispels that notion)

    Yeah, not a good look with that diverse selection lol. Considering the malleable nature of many of the rounds, I find it hard to believe that 3 non-biased judges could arrive at the same score.

    Underestimating Rodriguez, off night mostly. Age may have been a slight factor, but I doubt it.

    Jokes on them if they try it with me, I drained my bank account in Amsterdam last week, all they'll have are payment records to a lot of coffeeshops.

    It's kinda mad how consistently his mandatories have been enforced compared to pretty much every other champion in the sport.

    I wonder whether this version of Rodriguez could have beaten Martinez last December. Ioka looked somewhat sub par in parts (especially when you consider how he fought against Tanaka), but it was mostly due to Rodriguez who did show a lot of tenacity and a underrated skill set.
