El Chango Cancio v Alberto Machado II Dazn

[palmerq]

I don't think that needed to be stopped, acosta was hurt a good few times in the fight and defended very well before :S.... Soto could well have stopped him though... I would have let it go on though :S

[Spicoli]

Yeh that was a brink of defeat tko. He did catch him perfectly with that peach left hook when Acosta rushed in and Acosta was frozen in place. I can see both sides.. ref either steps in as he's not defending or throwing back or ref stands aside waiting for Acosta to click back on. Definitely needs rematch very tough quality scrap by both.

Same again, bad for Puerto Rico Champs there, I Thi k machadouis just buggered at the weight, hes a skilled guy though hopefully he hasn't ruined his mind with these two defeats.... Good for cancio, I wonder if he'll keep his job or quit to be a full pro, commentators claim he was still at work this week :S... Cancio has the good Kind of problems now.

Damn. Sounds like they were both good fights (at least the Acosta one)...... but both fiery crashes for me.

Thanks for the updates, guys.

Well.... looking forward, hoping Acosta bounces back from that. No reason why he shouldn't.

Machado, well..... twice is enough I guess. Whether he's successful moving up is anybody's guess. I'd venture to say that Cancio was severely underrated (at least by me).

I thought the Acosta stoppage was horrible. It was way too quick. He was winning the fight and was the champion. Maybe he would have fallen and gotten to clear his head. I think he would have been fine. I think Acosta got robbed.

Cancio now has to prove that he can beat other top fighters. He has to prove that he has improved over his career and beating Machado isn’t just a styles make fights situation

The battle of Soto vs. Costa was great. The referee ruined the results of both fighters. The stop was very fast. I thought that Acosta had won when it stopped. He deserves a rematch soon. That is a good victory for Soto, but I feel he has been lucky. Kancio has always been a tough fighter. He may just have a Machado number. I think Jojo Diaz beat him again in the rematch.
