Official highlights
I’ve never seen a fight were they revised the scorecards, these judges are stupid lol
It wasnt stupid is just that it was going to be a COMPLETE DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Vasquez only won the 1st round and thats it.
Pretty ugly fight.
A set back for Vasquez but hopefully he will take it and learn.
IE look at what he is doing “wrong” and correct it.
Time will tell
Now that’s how you fight a taller fighter!
