    Its getting ridiculous.

    Getting an upset nowadays is becoming impossible.

    You always expect the house fighter to get the nod if its close but last night was criminal. Isn't it time these sort of decisions are properly investigated.

    As I was watching the fight, I couldn't help but think "Cloud v Campillo"

    Funny these 'close' decisions always goes towards the star fighter?

    No wonder Khan whined like a girl, the rules say 'if its close I get the nod'.

    There is a plus side to this.

    Hopefully we will never have to watch Abril again.

    What's the deal with people not liking the way Abril fought? He looked good in there, executed a brilliant gameplan and showed just how good defensively he is. He wasn't' even negative.

    it's because Abril said he would destroy Rios before the fight, so everyone was expecting a tear up but instead got a rather ugly, boring fight in many peoples eyes.

    Well all I can say is 15/04/2012 will forever be remembered as "Abril Fools Day ".

    It was a terrible robbery. Rios was dead at the weight. He had absolutely no intensity. Abril was boxing him and tying him up but his intensity was zero. Rios always needs intensity to overcome a boxer.

    Gamboa would have lit him up on Saturday. Rios can't do 135 anymore.

    Saw it coming a mile of. Just like Oscar vs Sturm (albeit a much more lopsided fight). When you have two 'name' fighters on the same card setting up a big money fight with each other, the result is already decided.

    It's shameful, these promoters are doing this stuff in broad day light and there are no repercussions whatsoever. There is no one holding them to account because those people are riding the exact same gravy train.

    ive just watched upto round 6. why does rios keep throwing the left hook even though abril keeps blocking it? why not change it up a bit with an uppercut or something?
