clearly after the bell, that’s life…….
The Nevada Athletic Commission, ladies and gentlemen.
The Keystone Kops, Inspector Clouseau and Mr. Magoo all rolled into one.
Hahahaha! I’ve never seen a ref with such low self-confidence. Can’t you just make a decision?! In my opinion this should have been ruled a NC. And I never thought the ref was going to call it a kd/KO. Clearly both men threw a punch simultaneoulsy after the bell. Rigondeaux landed, Flores did not. Flores then faked.
Yes ! Exactly what happened
NSAC changed their decision!
Why don’t dq flores for faking ? I’m tired and sad to see how they want to screw Rigo.
tired of all the excuses. Whatever excuse you have, it doesn’t change the fact that the man lost..
What on Earth is this ref playing at?
In the exchange of blows, Rigondeaux struck ALL and Flowers none !!!
What happened just over the hood? Yes!
A clear, clear KO in favor of the Cuban!
He won well !!!
