This is awful, I think I just lost my appetite. That **** ain't right.. Perhaps I'm getting old and sensitive but I really don't like seeing people get hurt unnecessarily, which is precisely what that was. Carnage.

My hatred for boxing refs is at an all-time high.. These idiots have gotta call the fight when it's no longer competitive, not when someones beaten to a pulp. I'v seen countless fights this year where I've said 'it's over' and the ref's let it continue..

I know you could say thats what they signed up for but I really don't buy that, they refs have gotta have more conviction stopping the fight. at this point, if you're really watching closely, as I do - It's fair to say they're letting the show get in the way of the match..

Yeah, man. I hear you. Thankfully these types of incidents are few and far in between.

One of the quickest ways someone can prove to me, without a doubt, that they're an *******, is by saying the words 'I watch NASCAR for the crashes'.

Had a bad feeling watching that live, I distinctly remember thinking 'this guy is taking permanent damage right now' and 'this is one of those beatings he's not gonna be the same after'... That was a bludgenoning and totally unnecessary.. ****ty matchmaking involved too, but definitely the refs fault..

I don't watch the fights just for entertainment, but that **** reached a point of not really being entertaining to me, and I just got pissed at the ref..

I know when you're in venue live everyone basically wants to see blood, and it's different, but this was too obvious..


Was a good day for boxing though.. That Ward-Kovalev match is going to be must-see TV.

Earlier this year, the WBA allowed super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg to put his belt on the line against IBF champion Carl Frampton on the condition that whoever won the fight faced Guillermo Rigondeaux, whom they named Champion in Recess. Frampton came out on top via split decision and, in doing so, committed himself to facing "El Chacal."

Recently, however, Frampton confirmed that he did not intend to fulfill his end of the bargain. The WBA have removed his belt and ordered a bout between Rigondeaux and interim champion Moises Flores.

The two must fight by August 1st.

Rigondeaux (16-0, 10 KO) has fought just once since the beginning of 2015, an absolute stinker against Drian Francisco on the undercard of Cotto vs. Canelo. He was set to face unheralded James Dickens before running into visa issues, a product of being in Russia with coach Pedro Diaz for Ruslan Chagaev's title defense.

Flores (24-0, 17 KO) picked up the interim title last April with a split decision over Oscar Escandon, then stopped Argentina's Luis Cusolito on the undercard of Julian Williams' blowout of Luciano Cuello. He's currently booked to face Namibia's Paulus Ambunda on the latter's home turf next month.

At least on paper, Flores presents the sort of aggression needed to drag a watchable fight against Rigondeaux. Still, it might be more prudent to worry about whether they'll get in the ring instead of what will happen inside it.

Fight night!!! Olympic Gold Medalist in action, 2 Undefeated, top-10, heavyweights going at it for the belt!!!


This takes place in Europe so the main event should be on round 5:30 EST. This fight will be much better than Bradley-Pacquiao 3 tonight.
 
I hope Adrien Broner has the balls to fight Kell Brook next. Brook will annihilate him, and relegate him to gate-keeper status.
