    I thought Linares made Lomachenko look small.

    :nut::confused: Get yourself some glasses my friend.:deal:


    It seems like you missed the half the that while Roman was beating Sor Rungvisai like a drum, Sor Rungviasi was also beating Roman like a drum. And doing far more damage in the process, as evidenced by the outcome of the rematch.

    The blood was from Rungvisai using his head well enough to make Holyfield, Hopkins & Ward not only proud but blush.

    Not once was that intentional, SSR is just a southpaw, and it happens, and it doesn't change the outcome of the match, Sor Rungvisai still won fair and square, the irrational backlash from Gonzalez fanboys I find utterly perplexing, not sure what match they all watched, even the in house judge Lederman only gave it to Roman by a round.

    Watching it live and biased I thought Gonzalez should have won, after time passed watching it again the decision was fair. Those butts intentional or not at least looked intentional enough he lost a point for headbutting, don't get me wrong I'm sure some were not on purpose, but some definitely were.

    I knew more of and had seen more of Srisaket than most everybody had. And I did not see it coming.

    One of the very best wins of the last few years, of the last decade, in the divisions' history, etc. Can't understate it. Srisaket still gets sold short for the achievement on P4P lists.

    Agree. He proved that the first Choco win was no fluke and then goes on to beat Estrada.

    But he's not doing himself any favors with his next fight, he's going to lose some momentum. Will probably lose
    the Estrada rematch as well.

    I'm referring to the fact that Gonzalez outlanded Rungvisai 441 to 284. I know you think that picture with Gonzalez bleeding says it all but that was just a result of an early headbutt, same as when Horn butted Pacquiao, which you also thought was Horn domination. As for the rematch vindicating the felonious decision of the first fight, I don't buy that. Rematches frequently go the opposite of the first fight. Sometimes, even a series isn't definitive one way or another. I'm thinking of Vazquez vs Marquez, Zale vs Graziano, Charles vs Walcott, etc. Sometimes the better fighter gets more victories and sometimes he goes on a decline and picks up more losses at the end. It's a crap shoot and why you have to play the game to be sure of the result.

    lol@ anybody who thought Roman won the fight fight. I honestly believe they dksab.

    Rungviasi was bowing down to and showing Roman the upmost respect after every round , yet people believe he was intentionally head butting him?? lol , ffs :nut:

    I would call the first fight competitive but not close, just like Golovkin vs Canelo I. Golovkin and Canelo were at similar levels that night, but Golovkin still took 8 of the rounds. I scored Gonzalez vs Rungvisai I twice. I got it 8-4 both times even though I scored three or four rounds differently the second time. All the information you need to score the fight is really in that compubox data. Chocolatito is literally doubling Rungvisai in half the rounds. One round he triples him. The 157 punch landed gap is obscene and one of the top five worst decisions since the invention of compubox thirty years ago.

    You sound like one of those guys who think Hopkins wasn't dirty. Rungvisai is known for his headbutts, like Holyfield was. When he fought Cuadras he cut Cuadras just like Gonzalez but worse and the fight had to be stopped by the doctor.
