ESPN FNF - March 1st - Billy Dib vs. Evgeny Gradovich

[boozeboxer]

MD for Dib but it was close. Dib certainly looks worse. A draw could be in the works also. The case can also be made for the Russian.

What fight are you watching?

[TigerFan]

Should have been a UD IMO...but the right guy won.

[IamInuit]

That was an ok decision.

[Spicoli]

Thats outstanding....Boxing got it right tonight. Good shit!

Sorry Andre It was a solid scrap!

[boozeboxer]

I am really glad 50 Cent is involved in the fight game now. Boxing can use all of the star power it can get these days.

There were some real close rounds "landing punches" wise. I just figured Dib would get the md because of who he is in relationship to his opponent which is quite common these days. I also said the case could be made for the Russian.

Hotdamn, at least 2 of the judges got it right, but it wasn't that close in my view. Officially a SD, 114-112 x 2 for Gradovich and 114-112 for Dib. I thought for a minute we were going to see another robbery.

Anyway the right guy won, that's all that really counts.

Well that is logical.

[Mars_ax]

Gradovich did extremely well...won by a few points on my card.

Crazy that R Garcia has two champs in the same weight class, in the same gym

Garcia is the reason I thought Gradovich might have a chance of winning tonight.

Many boxing decisions these days are far from logical.

I like this Russian kid, he came to win and showed a lot of heart & determination. This was one of the best title fights I can recall seeing on FNF.

Lots of grappling and hugging late but it was a good scrap.

I doubt if @Andre gives a shit that Dib lost, I don't think he's a fan.

[boozeboxer]

Good FNF!

I needed a decent scrap to get me excited about the sport.

True, but overall it was a good tussle, Robert Garcia has turned Gradovich into a Mexican warrior, I think that's funny.
