Isley got a gift decision losing 78-72 on my card.
I agree. That card was flooded with bad decisions. Isley is a candy ass. He will not go far. Charles Conwell would knock Isley out inside of 2 rounds.
awaiting this fight card from Veags as I’m still having to clear my mind of the garbage show that was put on in Saudi Arabia two weeks ago. not wasting my money on any future shows from that venue.
Waldo ir hernandez got robbed it should be at least a draw
But since Isley is undefeated he was beneficiated by the judges
Note: Norman jr only landed 3 more punches in the fight against a guy that could be his dad. Q we love You til death Homie!!
Abdullah Mason looks like the real deal, and he’s only 19!
Max Ornelas was robbed. I am sorry. Cash Flow lost. Plain and simple. That decision was ridiculous.
