Zach: Texas strikes again with the Kirkland vs Molina fight. Maybe that was within the rules, but it was total
bullshit, and of course we had one corrupt/stupid judge who had Kirkland winning.But even before that there was chaos. Kirkland had to take a urine test before the fight and it was just a cluster F. Who even knows how that will go down.
If you’re bored with the TRT stuff dig in and do some research in the athletic commission in Texas as it’s obviously one of the most corrupt and incompetent States by far.
The Rios vs can countdown was excellent. Rios is a character and besides pac the most exciting fighter in the world. Even though he’s not that good.
People rave about the UFC countdown shows, but this was magical because they are selling 2 fighters, who will destroy their opponent. And no, I will not say even on paper as it’s almost a gimmick in boxing but in MMA it applies.
Boxing will be around for the next 20+ years for sure, but with countdowns like this, they know they have to make stars and Rios just turned into one, but he always was a gem to the hardcore public. Love/hate him, he will bring the action.
Off topic but interesting, MMA has hit Thailand.
