Those takedowns were meaningless. It will be a robbery if the judges give it to Alvarez on takedowns alone. He didn't do any damage or come close to submission attempts from those takedowns. I wish this had been a 5 round fight.
silly decision but whatever. Fight was dull. Have this rematch in the states with normal air and Melendez destroys him
Eddie Alvarez is tough. Most guys would have quit when their nose was broken and they couldn't see out of one eye.
Blaming it on the air? Seriously? If Eddie's eye didn't close, it would've been a much better fight. He was fighting half blind so he had to fight a safe fight. Melendez didn't do anything to win that fight. TFK
Well done to Eddie. Thought Gil edged it, but dont have any problem with the decision. The fight was there for both of them, but neither grabbed it. Would like to see a re.
I would like to go back and rewatch the 2nd round, but the main event is coming up. I won't feel like rewatching it afterwards knowing Alvarez won.
Sure am. You see those breaths he was taking? Melendez won round 1 and 2. Only in Bendo land did Alvarez win round 2.
