Prelims start shortly

Rivera stops Bailey in the 6th, Bailey was sharp with a quick jab and was doing ok in the 1st when Rivera dropped him with a left hook, just grazed him but got the knockdown, Bailey wasn't hurt and his speed was still troubling Rivera but Rivera come into things more and more , in the 6th he turned the screw and Bailey was naive defensively, trying to rely on his reflexes to avoid the onslaught, hands by his waste and sure enough a huge right dropped him for a second time, he got up but Rivera trapped him in the corner raining down clean shots before the ref stopped things, good TKO for Rivera but nothing special and Bailey's defensive tactics were suicidal

brutal ko but jeezus that was some bad defense, just standing there with his hands down, chin out, no head movement. pedro swung for the fences too, it wasnt some 3 inch sneak shot that no one could see

Did anyone watch the Yoelvis Gomez fight?

I did. I gave 8 rounds to Gomez. Just a brutal battering. Gomez needs a lot of work on his defense.

People talk about best knockdowns or shots in general, what about worst? Bailey's arms were hilariously low, he's quick but not as quick as he thought he was
