    Its not nice though and its in bad taste. Im not going to pretend like its new as I have seen it before but not very often and not often is it kids involved. Its just inconsiderate.

    Imagine they filmed your kids in moment of pain for all the world to see. Yeah just inconsiderate IMO.

    That schooling that took place would've been precisely what happened if the fight came off at 126.

    Loma was always a hopeless ask of Rigo because his style is exactly wrong for him. Thats true at any weight. I agree the age and weight didn't help. It just reinforces the lunacy of why so many people picked Rigo in the first place. There's youtube videos for days of boxing people who should've known better picking Rigo to win.

    The worst part for me is the guys at 122 successfully avoided Rigo.

    Yeah, definitely gross. I wasn't endorsing it... Just saying that it happens pretty frequently. Also Kovalev-Pascal.

    It must sell to do so. That would be my guess.

    They definitely planned to cue in the daughter as soon as Ortiz went down because when any boxer goes down thats a big moment in a boxing fight and every camera angles picked out. It was like Ortiz went down and before any replay, they showed the daughter?!

    there has never been a good year for men near 40 or above, only exceptions now and again.

    so I dont think is a pattern worth checking out.

    It's been a bad year for them but to be fair what Dorticos managed to achieve against Gassiev (ie. proving that it is actually possible to be Cuban and not be packing Cuban glass) was pretty remarkable. Now I have my doubts that he was actually born on the Island of Cuba. However, prior to that fight there isn't a single boxing fan on the planet that would've believed a Cuban fighter would be able to withstand a flush shot on the whiskers from a savage puncher like Gassiev so that was a special achievement by him and milestone in Cuban boxing history IMO.

    Cuban's lose in the big fights. that's a clear trend now.

    I think Cubans are very good amateurs, but they do not adapt to the pros well.. they are not good in pro boxing.

    I think it's gonna be a very long time before there's a first heavyweight world champion from Cuba.

    Rofl, hard to adapt to pros when you become pro near your 30s.

    You say they lost their big fight, ok, how old was ortiz when he got his big fight yesterday? let's see where's wilder when he will have ortiz's age, or joshua.

    True. The fighter should leave their families home. But its bad form from the tv crew.

    None of them except Rigo did worse than expected, but Rigo was last year.
