Shit fight. I have Dib up despite the points taken off but depends what judges were looking for.
Oliver rationed his legs from what Ive seen. Rode the corner and arguably landed more effective shots setting traps. This one might be all over the place score wise?!
Oliver is exactly the type of fighter that I don't care for, he spends more time playing to the crowd, complaining to the referee, exaggerating fouls and generally deflecting attention from what's happening in the ring than he does fighting. It's a shame really, Oliver has plenty of talent but he would rather be Mr. Slick by winning without the hard work of fighting.
I'm not saying he wasn't fouled or that Dib should not have lost the points. I'm complaining about Oliver's natural inclination to turn everything to his favor, any way possible, and actually lead the referee around by the nose. The referee must have warned Oliver 10 times about holding but never threatened a point deduction, Oliver is not a fighter he's a schemer, in my opinion.
I wonder what Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Mike Tyson or Archie Moore would think about Oliver?
