[armageto]

I usually don't like to win on a DQ or a cut, usually I want a more decisive conclusion, especially in a championship fight. 5 violations in less than 7 completed rounds?!? I see the pattern where if things are tight or he's down, Greb will sadly fight dirty. It was still early and Greb always has the power/pressure to turn a fight around, but he was getting outboxed soundly early, then resulted to UFC tactics.

I must say good job to Buzz with Hopkins this season. With that said, I thought Leonard won. Monzon came up short. New champs this week!

[gilgamesh]

Corruption is the only way any of you f*cks can beat Harry Greb!!!

Corruption is the only way any of you f*cks can beat Harry Greb!!!

He had 5 fouls, was warned and already lost a point, and was being outboxed. He was taking that L tonight regardless....

I'll have you know he was prepared for the long haul tonight. If not for you buying the referee off to call fouls in your favor left and right, you were taking your 2nd loss from the great Greb.

Review the first fight or post it for people to read. At best, it was a draw for Greb. It was close, but Robinson should have won. You should be 0-2 in reality. Nothing left to see here.

[armageto]

Robinson and Greb should meet in the Super Six anyhow to complete their trilogy anyhow. Assuming Greb's management doesn't pull him out.

[gilgamesh]

Robison and Greb are undoubtedly meeting in the Super 6, and Greb is setting the record straight.
