Yeah oddly It wasn't the after the bell fighting or even the getting helped into the ring, it was the kicks. There's a rematch that ends more conclusively.

Considering that he had the ability to be an all time great if he applied himself Riddick Bowe is one of the most tragic stories in recent history
The Bowe-Golota legendary nights is awesome and sad at the same time

Does anybody know anything about Moises Flores?

He's apparently fighting Rigo on the Ward undercard and i want to know if rigo will be breaking a sweat for that

He's undefeated and has 4 inches on Rigo but probably not. Boxrec tells me his best wins are some guy from Namibia who also lost to Tomoki Kameda and Oscar Escandon-a fringe contender type who is probably going to get smoked by Gary Russell Jr. on Saturday. He better win too because Miguel Cotto just split with Roc Nation after they couldn't get him whatever absurd money he was demanding to fight Yoshihiro Kamegai. Hopefully Cotto makes nice with Top Rank and we get a double retirement fight against either JMM or Bradley.

Can't believe there haven't been any comments on the packed schedule of fights today

quick takeaways:

Tank is a beast, really seems like the world is his to conquer

Andre Dirrell should probably not box anymore

E: Also Crawford is about to fight soon, he's fighting Felix Diaz, a good fighter who would be a risky opponent if Crawford wasn't one of the best in the sport

Lol that the Dirrells got involved another post fight DQ brawl.

And apparently Ray Beltran is (essentially) fighting for his green card

EDIT: Hell of a touch by Beltran. Take that green card to Trump Tower and wave it in Trump's (security detail) face my friend.

Diaz is a good fighter. His one loss was really controversial and his amateur career is legit. Shame that he's fighting Crawford. There is the possibility that this will be a stealth competitive fight, but yeah.

Came to ask this. Dirrell himself apparently said he didn't think it was that bad? His corner seems to disagree.

Ref asks him if he's OK and he says "yeah" shortly before curling into the fetal position. DQ was definitely the right call IMO.

I was kind of asking about bad as in dirty--like how long after the bell was the punch? Couldn't find a video of the actual fight last night, just the uncle's sucker punch. I just assumed Dirrell was hosed up.

Yeah that looks like a good DQ but not super egregious dirty poo poo by boxing standards.

e: I'd completely forgotten about all of that Abraham stuff, now I know why you were thinking about faking.

Oh I know.

In both cases Dirrell was clearly hit illegally and both Abraham and Uzcategi should have been disqualified but the theatrics afterwards (though the latter was mainly his family's fault) and that he and his brother have godawful styles of fighting and I just have no sympathy at all.
