Diego Chaves got what he deserved

[Spicoli]

The ref let this devolve into a quintessential clusterfuck of a mess and lost control. I think both fighters were equally to blame...he 'warned' Rios about eight times and there was no clear authority figure in there but rather a scattered lil ol' lady waving a broom around trying to break up drunk uncles in the backyard. He tried to play catch up at the end and repair missed calls, half hearted "hey knock it offs" and lack of official clear warnings and called DQ because he had walked himself into irrelevance and made it personal.

I think it's quite clear men have no business reffing boxing matches.

Say it again you have a way with words.

Yes, Chaves is a sneaky cunt

Weird isn't it. He'll slowly fad away in memory on this one because we'll see Drakulich 101 more times. I was wishing Sparkle Lee was in there by the 3rd round ha!

Sparkle did do a good job!
Chaves cut his own throat, all he had to do was cooperate with the ref.
Three point deductions and then a DQ. How do you figure the ref let the whole thing become a clusterfuck?
Truthfully, I didn't see why the DQ happened when it did, but I figure Rios outsmarted Chaves by picking the perfect moment to pitch a bitch, good for him. Piss on Chaves, hoping I don't see that arrogant little prick again.

I thought it was just a shitty fight altogether. Every time Lampley said Brandon Rios, it sounded like he was some sort of legend. I thought he looked like a flabby whiner.

The ref was totally inconsistent and micro managed a fight everyone knew would be rough house going in. He also let himself be worked and reacted to Rios little pissing fits. Rios was warned a total of ten times for knocking heads, one intentional in clinch in 6th. More than half the time the ref would break both, look straight ahead and give these half ass "ok come on last time"...to no one?! After you dock points and threaten last time and then ignore more of it you let the inmates run the asylum.

Drak could have done nothing to prevent this from boiling over. Both were committed to be what they were last night... reminds me of the Richard Steele tough assignments he was given over the course of his years.

Looking back at Steele's record, he was given some powder keg's of fights and we blamed him. But it wasn't him. The atmosphere and sentiment around the fight was bigger than anyone could have handled... anyone else would have let some of the same things Steele was involved in turn into all out brawls resulting in deaths.

Can you imagine that numb-nuts Mercante Jr. involved in a Bowe/Golota matchup??

[TitoFan]

I do not like Rios at all. He's a punk with no respect for anyone and fails to take accountability for his fouls and misbehavior.

THIS..... but multiplied by infinity and with a shitload of exclamation marks.
But then..... I've been saying this since the very beginning. ;-)
