He went from 140 to 147 to fight ortiz & then to 154 to fight Alverez.
he was just to small for him. I was hoping they would stop the fight before he got seriously hurt since there is no quit in the guy. he kept getting knocked down & getting back up & fighting. Finally the ref stopped it at the end of the 5th rd.
I really do hope he gets to go back down to the 147 weight class & gets some shots at big fights. he should have never came up to 154. hope this loss doesnt hurt hiss career. He deserves good fights at 147.
The other thing I realized is, I would never want Bayless to ref any fight I was involved with. Think he sucked in the two undercard fights he ref'd.
Jumps in to break up fighters even before they are tied up & I believe stopped a fight early, even though the other guy was still hitting his opponent. he was rocked but he didnt stop the fight until the other guy had a couple misses in a row. Then stopped it up? WTF. Why did the other guy miss? because the guy was still moving. I didnt like any of the ways that guy ref'd his fights.
Anyhow they are talking a fight with Saul & Cotto, two fighters I like a lot. Dont think I would root for one, but man that would be a great fight to see (if cotto wins in Dec) They mentioned Mayweather as well, but one not sure his camp is ready for Mayweather, & if they are, mayweather only fights old guys anymore LOL.
Although the guy does have a zero in his loss column. That might intice the ego of Mayweather to fight him. We already know Cotto will fight anyone. So that is the fight I would expect. if it happens I bet it just might be the fight of the year for 2013.
