Like I said, 116-112? GTFO of here. Sorry, but these judges were favoring Garcia from the very beginning. Corrupt ****.

Let's face it, Herrera lost this fight before it even started.

Jeez, 8 rounds to 4 for Garcia?

I could live with a draw, but there's no way in hell that Garcia won 8 rounds. It's a sham.

There is one thing I love about Showtime is that go indepth into the post fight... unlike HBO.

I already want to see All Access... I think it is better than HBO because they talk about after the fight...

I wonder if Deontay Wilder ever gets in the ring with a solid opponent. 31 fights, all KOs and he's never seen a 5th round and all I could do is shrug for the moment. I'm not asking for a Klitschko fight, but give me something.

He is going to fight the Arreola/Saverne winner... and honestly I think Arreola who is nothing special could really put a the hurt on Wilder if he lands one good punch. Tall and lanky guys usually don't have good punch resistance.

Pretty much my biggest question mark on Wilder and Arreola (who like you said, is nothing special at all) does have some power. I wouldn't know whether to shake my head or laugh if Wilder falls on one of Arreola's jabs.

I had it a draw but could definitely see Herrera winning the fight. I didn't think Garcia did enough to win the fight. I thought the 2nd half of the fight was great, both of them landed some good exchanges...too bad open scoring and 2 bad judges have to ruin it. Garcia pretty much fought the 12th like he knew he had it in the bag for the most part. I think not knowing the score, he would've thought that his ass was on the line and would've gone balls out, which would've made for quite a 12th round. Open scoring just takes that away and stomps on any drama in the fight.

Lopez/Ponce De Leon was an incredible 2 rounds. Stoppage seemed a bit premature though, I felt like PDL could have gone on and continued to fight. Would've loved to have seen a round 3.

The fight with Mtagwa in 2009 showed warning signs but those 2 fights with Salido were just brutal.

I'll never forgive Bob Arum for ruining Juan Ma vs. Gamboa. That would have been an awesome fight while it lasted.

Wilder will never go rounds with anybody. He is the hardest hitter in boxing at any weight class, doesn't matter who he is fighting, he doesn't even have to touch you clean to put you down and out (Example: Liakovich ko).

I think Arreola might knock him the hell out. I'm not really impressed with Wilder.

Amir Khan vs. Luis Collazo on the Mayweather/Maidana undercard. I would have preferred Khan vs. Broner but this is interesting. A win over Collazo shouldn't earn Khan a shot at Mayweather though.

Keith Thurman just signed up to fight Julio Diaz. I think I just threw up in my mouth. This is a significant step back in competition. Diaz is going to die.

That's a shame. So much for Stevenson/Kovalev.

A win over Collazo isn't, it appears Khan/Broner is being setup for later this year though.

So who gets Mayweather next after he outboxes Maidana? Winner of Porter/Malinaggi?
