I see Vasyl is one of Kov's Ambassadors of Excuses for that fight. Geez! Has there ever been anybody to have so many excuses for losing 2 fights?

More importantly, it seems as though all the other fighters/titleholders at 130 didn't want to fight Vasyl and that Arum is blocking the Rigo fight, based on his response. You can't force the guys to fight, but Arum needs to be making Vasyl good fight where he can if he thinks he can win... Fighting Marriaga doesn't really do it for me...

Finally Loma got a proper translator, guy is 99% on point.

You can't contradict Loma is 100% truthful here. You don't expect a TKO given to a guy immediately after a low blow last punch to the same guy. It is against boxing rules.

So whether Ward was dominating or not (he was) it's still his fault he lowblowed last punch because he was taking risks hitting belt line. And ref should have given 10 sec rest to Kov. Just a neutral observer here.
