Fight night: Porter-Bone; Berto-Lopez Discussion Thread

[JJRod]

He was still stunned from the first KD, **** happens. That doesn't mean the ref shouldn't give him a count. It's not like Berto completely destroyed him with the last punch he landed. He popped up quick after the stoppage.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pretty much. Sucks too cause it was a great f*** fight, and was starting to heat up. Berto turned the fight around in that round, and could probably have gotten then KO anyway. But still give the kid a 10 count he got up!

The heavyweight fight had my hopes up for pbc,and I honestly though that I had been too critical of al haymon...but then that stoppage happened.

lol Haymon made Lopez go down twice?

ref overreacted on his own

Berto is back

Pretty obvious to see what PBC is going to be, the WWE of boxing. For what it's worth I think Berto could have taken him out, but you have to give a fighter a chance to fight through adversity. Great fight absolutely ruined by the bull**** stoppage, and hate watching when it's obvious everything is against one fighter from the ref, to the judges, and even the ****ing commentators.

[lolpz]

It was early stoppage, but be ****ing honest with yourself after he just took a long count, got back up, and went down on the first right hand landed to the temple 2 seconds right after getting up do you REALLY think he wasn't going to get the ****ing **** beat him within the next 45 seconds lol i mean the fight was pretty much over. He was DONE. Ref saved his career, berto can really punch...

Welcome to the super land of fixes, scripted agendas, paid off refs, commentators, and WWE storylines.......PBC baby..WOOOWEE!!!

[Porter's Dad]

Haymon ain't gonna sell the boxing people Berto again. We went through the Berto BAD years on HBO. We saw Soto-Karass kick his ass on Showtime.

I understand he's supporting his fighter but pushing people like Berto down people's throats is not a good way to start the new model.

Berto is back

[kiaba360]

berto was being outboxed by lopez, JOSESITO FUCKING LOPEZ

feed berto to thurman please

Berto and Thurman are friends. Feed Berto to Errol Spence.

Even if they weren't friends, Thurman shouldn't waste his time with Berto.

[Floyd R]

Berto is the guy that Hymen wants to promote, so the commentators the ref are all on the same page pre-fight. Berto is now a top tier boxer after this dominating win.....a "BEAST".........LOLOL

Ahead on all three scorecards [Lopez].....now you know why it was stopped.

Both fighters are advised by Al Haymon so your reasoning is illogical. On top it, both fighters are washed up which means it didn't make a difference who won this fight. Neither fighter is going to become a welterweight champion. I think the referee should have let Lopez continue fighting but blaming Haymon for what the referee did is just plain ******.
