This makes me sick. YOU GET PAID TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS! DOCTOR REFEREE CORNERMEN ALL of you should have a deduction in pay for that mess. That was shameful.
The finger of blame should be pointed at the corner.....the ref really wasn't justified to stop the fight until the end of the 9th at the earliest......in that last round he did let it go on way too long but the corner should have got him out of there a lot sooner Lampey goes over the top though.....he's seen bad shit happen before, and it isn't a point he should ignore, but his morbid tirade was too much....repeatedly shouting "GO DOWN, GO DOWN" within the boxers' earshot isn't in the textbook for objective blow-by-blow commentary
Too bad Joel Julio is fighting Dziriruk. I'd have loved to see him and Angulo fight. Julio certainly poses more of a threat than this Russian punching bag did.
For all the offensive firepower Gamboa has, the way he carries his chin high will be his downfall. Simply gets hit too clean flush on the chin.
Its not just his chin...its his hands AND that chin. His attitude is terrible. I said this a few months ago before his last HBO "performance" and was crucified for it.
he is Ukranian, calling him russian is like calling a Canadian- American. And he is a tough and courageous fighter. Good main event.
at least fatboy blew his swine per diem on a midwesterner who hadn't fought in damn near a year and a half ::
No, it's more like rubber money that I use on your mom. It's okay, she swallows, so I'll get by this week.
Tough yes. But limited as it gets, and slow n easy to hit as all hell. Julio would have provided a test to Angulo's chin.
I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think X meant anything by it. He's jsut a bit ignorant is all.
