    This is the language and framing you're choosing to use.

    Good fight. In the end the reach difference was a big factor and the lack of power from Edwards tilted the balance heavily in Bam's favor. Not taking anything away from his boxing, which is also excellent.

    Might have had something to do with Bam literally dropping his guard and letting Sunny hit him just so he could laugh in Sunny's face but that could just be me.

    Estrada immediately after the third Choco fight? Absolutely. But the Estrada who's been out of the ring for a hot minute and ducked Ioka? I don't know, fam.

    Good fight and great performance by Bam. Edwards fought bravely but just didn’t have anything to trouble Bam at all. Bam’s boxing skills and style is just fun to watch. Hopefully he decides to move back up to 115 so he can challenge Gallo, Ioka, or Nakatani.

    Maybe it is

    Yes that's right, when Sunny had success it was all because Bam-Rod allowed him to and not because of his skills :facepalm:

    I gave Bam-Rod his credit but I still feel it was very close in the first 5 rounds and I had Sunny ahead. I might watch it back and feel different but either way he was definitely having his fair share of success

    Maybe Shields will take pity on him and still go on the date

    If you can watch that fight back and give Sunny more than two rounds you are far more generous than I. He got his ass beat for most of the fight and was having his **** garbled by the announcers as per usual (I don't know what you are on about Mora and company being all pro-Bam).

    Just waking up to the news that Edwards lost the bout.

    It wasn't lack of skills that lost him the fight but lack of power to be able to hurt Bam.

    Edwards has the skills, and maybe 115 is too much for him, and he needs to stay at 112?

    Respect for both fighters though, and congratulations Bam.

    I'm a generous guy and defence is also a scoring criteria. He was definitely landing his fair share and having his success in those first five rounds. Hell, he was having his moments after that right up until the last round and he was getting beaten up for the most part from the 5th onward.

    I do

    What gifts? There was nothing controversial about his win over Chocolatito. As far as his match with Cortes is concerned, it was a point in either direction, hardly a gift. I have a better question, if Jesse is so badass, why couldn't he stop a shot the hell Carlos Cuadras, even after Gallo did?

    Indeed, The most crucial factor. He realized what would happen if he won so he gave Bam the win.
