Idk I had the same scores as the judges I guess....I love the reasons why people don't pull the trigger. But like the commentators said "he throws one and catches three".
I think Jorge didnt want to throw more than one or 2 and leave himself open. Gilbert has KOs on his record, he has power. I kept waiting for that one big hook but he did good at the jab and the one two from the front.
If you cant throw hooks and straights, you wont be able to get past their cover up. Diaz constantly goes hook, body shot straight right body shot, hook. Guys have hell trying to protect themselves.
Well I don't see how anyone that isn't totally biased could give him any of the rounds.
Scratch off "gracefull in defeat" for this guy.
You'll always have street fighting on You-Tube, Jorge, so it's not all bad. Chin up there boy.
And Spencer, you don't have to kiss the interviewees ass in order to get the interview- he's ALREADY TALKING TO YOU. Just ask questions and leave the sucking up to his fans.
