I get that this was a bad fight, but can it really be said that it was disappointing. .? I mean, when was the last time Willie Monroe Jr was in a fight that was actually worth watching? Triple G..? And even if so, it’s not because it was highly competitive, just interesting IMO. Willie has a style that is exactly the opposite of what most people want to watch, unfortunately.
