    That stinks.

    Michel Rivera eats a LOSS that he shouldn't have on December 17th, 2022!
    Less-than-merry christmas for him!

    He should've been fighting the way Frank Martin did...

    Considering I've always thought Rivera was brutally overrated and picked Frank Martin to beat him, without hesitation.

    I can't say I'm shocked in the least.:sisi1

    All true. i suppose he was a "protected" fighter... that is, until now. i guess looking like Muhammad Ali doesn't help you much in the ring.

    Clearly he's not the "next Ali," which shouldn't be a shocker to anyone.

    When will all these young fools realize that there's only ONE Ali - and yes, that most definitely includes his grandson Nico too!!!

    His lack of effort or adjustments alone were pitiful.

    Rivera showed a lot of heart, but he was completely confused. His PAID cornermen were no help. They never advised him to maintain his lead foot to the outside of a southpaw and circle to his left, away from Martin's power hand.
