    One thing I'd like to point out, how is it bad for Chavez to clinch when they got inside? Rios would get the better of him inside, wouldn't it be in a fighters best interest to clinch or step out as a form of defense when another fighter getting the better of you?

    Clinching or holding is against the rules.

    This fight makes up for Abril's 84 clinches against Rios that he was not penalized of dqed for.

    Shouldn't Rios being given one of the worst decisions of the decade already made up for that?

    If you this was the worst of the decade you don't watch much boxing.

    No I said Rios-Abril was one of the worst decisions of the decade, which it was. Rios receiving an iffy DQ shouldn't have been needed to "make up" for the Abril fight since he had already received a **** poor decision that very night.

    April lost because he clinched 84 times.

    You'll see one of Rios' arms frequently wrapped around Abril in that fight too.

    May be but Rios did not do it 84 times. The judges that scored the fight for Rios all said, Abril lost because he held too much and Rios landed the harder shots

    rios was headbutting, hitting on the break repeatedly, rabbit punching...etc..

    drakubitch is one of the worst in boxing.

    he totally focused on chaves and totally ignored rios' fouls.

    Abril's was bad but at least he wasnt trying to stone cold stunner rios.

    Both deserved DQs
