Your call on the Chaves vs Rios fight

[M Bison]

**** Vic Drakulich!
If Judges from Lara vs Williams fight were indefinitely banned then why the heck should Vic not suffer the same ban???

Chaves was "lacing" him! He was warned about three different conflicts. The guy was above dirty he was going punk azz! He deserved the boot and the kick on his pay and a suspension! That's the way it goes, I haven't seen anyone Lace anybody on TV since the old ESPN shows I used to do in the 70's!
The guy could have won without all the BS, he got what he deserved!

Both guys were fighting dirty. So suck it up, buttercup. Happens sometimes.

Like his namesake, Rios should wear a leopard pattern diaper into the ring instead of trunks. He is overpaid gargage who steals his wins with help from the judges (Abril) or ref (Chaves).

Great scrap last night.

I think the ref did a bad job but not for the reasons most are saying. Chaves came to fight dirty. The ref never got control of the situation. He didn't say anything about most of Chaves' foul so that when he took away a point it was awkward because he wasn't warning him. Then he penalized Rios to make up for the Chaves point. He should have warned Chaves for DDTing Rios but he didn't. Then the DQ was unwarranted at the time because there was no real foul, it was just Rios being fed up with the shenanigans.

As for the fight. I had it one point for Rios but won't argue the other way. I wish Chaves had more confidence in himself so that he wouldn't have to resort to all that dirtiness. He threw some beautiful shots and combinations. Rios tooka good punch kept the pressure and landed some great shots. He was not getting schooled but boxers clearly give him problems, nut boxers usually do that. Rios is still a good fighter. But I say no to this rematch.

that was a dirty fight. i was out last night, so i didn't catch anything but the replay this morning on dvr. haven't seen any interviews with draculich.


i will say this, rios didn't appear to be lying about the eye gouging. i'm not saying i noticed it, only that rios appeared truthful to me. draculich dq'd chavez when rios reacted to that.


odd fight. part great fight, and part clinchfest. late in the fight, chavez was tying rios up almost instantly. it was hardly professional.

the same people complaining of chaves are the same that praise guys like alexander and ward for example

so true so true.

I had Rios up at the time of the stoppage and it appeared to me that he might be pulling away in the 7 & 8th.

Don't agree with all the point deductions but don't really have a problem with the DQ. Chaves knew he was on thin ice and on the verge of DQ and he continued with his tactics almost looking for a way out.

Agree that the decked was stacked against Chaves though with the late arrival, Bs first deduction it was a uphill battle for him to get the W from the start.

[The Future]

Yeah but lets not forget Arum did his best to fuxk over Chaves including the delayed arrival. Come on people lets be fair here.

wow. yeah arum controls immigration. ......... come on now.

It was pretty clear he did it at least two time and it's pathetic he wa acting like he didn't know what was going on.

[Kagami Taiga]

It was a horrible fight from every perspective.
