    I've been saying Gomez is extremely skilled for YEARS now...and ElTerrible, I TOLD you he'd beat Virchis! :kidcool:

    He's awkward sometimes, he slaps at times, he grunts...but Gomez when properly trained and in the right frame of mind can BOX. And he has very good handspeed - and power to boot.

    And I expected El Felino to win too...been following him for a long, long time. Picked him to beat Braithwaite - and frankly, he beat Cunningham. Nelson too.

    Jones is amazing....dude has gone from jr. middleweight to hwt (now cruiser), is still fighting 15 years later, and finally got a title.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    Guillermo Jones is a good fighter, but really, he would only be "UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!".. if he were a legitimate jr middleweight midget who looks completely out of place,..as it is, he's got mass to spare, and weigh-in's, especially the day before, are terribly flawed methods of measuring one's true size,..he wouldn't make jr middleweight now, and it doesn't matter a fuck where he started, there are countless examples of fighters who start in lower divisions, but are clearly larger than opponents who started or remain in higher divisions on fight night,... Jones is huge, he'd have had a 'Paul Williams' of a time at 154 :nono:, he's not some "lil middleweight beatn' up all da heavywaiiiyts".... wayyyy too many fighters recieve similar accolades for 'division ranging',...MOST of the time, it makes them devious cheating motherfuckers who have above average genetical abilities for recouperating after weight-loss, others like Margarito, PERFORM better weighing alarmingly low in respect to his actual size, it ofcourse still doesn't make it fare for his opponents, I never claimed it was :nono:. Measurements should determine divisions, not weight :nono::nono::nono:.

    The whole fight wasn´t televised. Russian TV showed six rounds, German TV showed two rounds. Somebody from another forum, who was there said it was very close, he thought Zuinga won and the scorecards were boo´d by the crowd. I don´t know the person, so I have no idea how valid it is. I´m at least surprised by the clear nature of the decision. Inkin is just not that good.

    Somebody who I trust scored the six rounds from Russian TV 3-3, and that doesn´t include the 5th round, which was shown on German TV, where Zuniga hurt Inkin.

    Somebody I trust even more scored the six rounds 5-1, at worst 4-2 Zuniga. So that decision gets more questionable by the minute.
