When Ward started :cape: for Chaves's clinching and holding...

Missed the Kovalev fight...But that was the highlight of the night for me

Drakulich has always been a :trash: referee... one of the worst in the business up there with Steele, Cortez and bruh that reffed Holyfield-Tyson I...his name escapes me at the moment...but i hadn't seen Drac in awhile, was hoping that he retired.

Rios-Chaves was the definition of a struggle fight...sloppy boxing, tons of holding and cheap shots and a shytty referee.

Honestly I only want to see three fights from Brandon Rios and then dude can retire: Provodnikov, Alvarez 3 and a final "loser leaves boxing" grudge match against Victor Ortiz.

Another Gold Medal
at the stoppage kovalev was stealing a lot of lead right hands to the head back to back and mixing them up with feints, winding up his shots, showing off. im picking hopkins but people are sleeping on kovalev a little bit hes not a guy thats just coming forward giving you one look. this is not a kelly pavilik

Even after the knockdown he was still eating a lot of clean lefts, money negotiations aside I think BHop preferred Kovalev over :cape: from the jump, I don't think either guys are easy fights for him at this point but I see more deficiencies in Kovalev for him to exploit.

Vargas with another struggle win that he should have lost or gotten a draw in. :snoop:

Kovalev getting dropped by a nikka with 6 knockouts,:mjlol: but getting up to style on him and finish dude. :obama:

:heh: at Hopkins sonning Kellerman and taking over the interview.

:what: at that garbage ass ref in the Rios/Chaves fight. fukk I would have went 3 for 3 if it wasn't for that fukk nikka. Rios was getting that work and kept bytching throughout the fight even though he was headbutting like a prime Holyfield. Vic definitely took Joe Cortez's place as being a dikk and ruining fights with his interference.

I always thought Ortiz got a bad rap becuz of the Maidana beating. Rightfully so, but he bounced back pretty good from that fight. Wasn't much he could do after he got his jaw broke. :yeshrug:

Rios looked like hot garbage out there...only thing he has going for him
is his iron chin....
his power at 147 is mediocre, his boxing skills are non existent, he relies on getting inside and bullying his opponent

Chaves got fukked over but he did it to himself, he couldve won the fight without any dirty tactics, granted the ref was a jackass but still, he was catching rios with straight rights and right uppercuts early in the fight at will....he couldve set himself up for more decent pay days (at least higher than the laughable 25k he got last night) but now i wouldnt be surprised if we dont see him on Hbo or showtime again...



smh @ hbo translator continuing to change the fighters words up
