I don't like Wlodarczyk but he won the 1st Cunningham fight, it was no hometown decision. Cunningham absolutely sucked in that fight and was evidently fighting scared. I was surprised how much he improved in his later fights. I remember some fool from Philadelphia wrote an article on ESB front page after the fight crying Cunningham was robbed but it's not the truth. USS proved he's better in the rematch but it doesn't mean he won the first one.
The corner threw the towel in a few seconds after anyway. I get what you mean, but if we are going by the book It is Illegal
"protect yourself at all times" Frag seems to like to sit on the ropes before he goes down.How can it be illegal if he isnt all the way down. [YT]8oV6etPHi2A[/YT]
I agree, that was a close fight. Even Fragomeni win would have been fair. But the referee was unfair. Diablo had a chance to win in 9th round by TKO but referee interrupted the execution of Fragomeni... 30 sec is enough to recover after KD
Not only that, the ref always wasted time on the clock. I was watching that snake scince the first round and I knew Wlodaczyk would have a tough time. Especially in the 12th round..
