I decided to make a thread for these two fighters as this fight is gonna happen this month.
We can discuss about this fight here and I would like to hear your thoughts on who do you think will win this fight.

https://www.badlefthook.com/2020/12/10/22167866/reymart-gaballo-replaces-nonito-donaire-emmanuel-rodriguez-december-19-showtime-boxing-news-2020

Record and stats

Reymart Gaballo - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/677961; 24 years and undefeated.

Emmanuel Rodriguez - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/614887; 28 years old with 19-1 (w-L) record.

I'll definitely go for Reymart Gaballo, he is undefeated but I wish he is not that favorite in this fight.

As I was watching his highlights, I believe that he is not yet that precise unlike our popular fighters in the Philippines, but he is a heavy hitter, you can tell by his record, this one should be an exciting fight especially if the odds are attractive for the Filipino fighter.

Both are replacements from the original fight, so it's their chance to show the world what they got.

I hope it will be updated here on how to watch this fight and of course the most important, the betting odds.

Reymart Gaballo is a big hitter but he has not fought a fighter like Rodriguez who is a veteran of the championship fights, Gaballo should knock him out in the early round Rodriguez has a lot of steam and can keep up a slugfest in 12 rounds based on what I see in his fight against Moloney, this is one exciting fight and I hope Gaballo can connect his big punch here.

Yes, Reymart Gaballo has really some potential as he is a big hitter, but have fought lesser known opponents. So this is like a step up fight for him. And as we all know Filipinos are slugger and a warrior so I have no doubt that he will go after a knock out to impressive the boxing fans and start to make a name for himself in this division.

A perfect opportunity that he shouldn't waste.

A boxer with a knock out punch can always end the fight anytime, but Rodriguez is a hard fighter to beat based on what I see on their previous fight, Gaballo should make this fight a slugfest this is his golden opportunity to shine now that he is fighting in the US I like the way he delivers his punches fast and solid, he has a big chance to knock Rodriguez out.

With having  KO percentage of 86.96% then this guy really packed up with some solid punches.Even though i agree into that sentiment that Rodrigues isnt someone that
you should really be taken granted for.

I do see that this guy is an Filipino fighter which this is my first time on hearing this one out or just missed out this guy.Im searching up for some highlight
on how  this dude fights and did find this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_cY0DBNfKc
I can say that this dude would have the high chance on winning this one.

So Donaire and Oubaali both tested positive for Covid-19 that's why there's a major change.

Reymart Gaballo is a rising bantamweight and stepping up for Donaire will be one of the big breaks he will have. His name starts to buzz on the stage because of his performance. 20 knockouts out of 23 fights are highly impressive.

Hopefully, for Emmanuel Rodriguez, he should now gain confidence again and remove all his doubts after a heavy loss to Naoya Inoue that knocked him out only in the 2nd round last year. That was his first loss in his career.

Let's see what would be the best outcome based on how their records proved us transparently, and as far as I observed with Gaballo his smarter hits could take his opponent down. Veteran like Rodriguez isn't an assurance for victory, what's important with him, he shouldn't under estimate the challenger because the rival team has been eying on him on his potential weaknesses.

I thought it's his first time to fight in the US but upon seeing his record, he had already fought many times so this is not new to him and he certainly know what to do here. His opponent might not perfect but I think is the better fighter, or I should say I'm not convince yet with the skills of Gaballo.

I would not know that he was the boxer who got KO'd by Inoue, thanks for bringing this information, I've seen the highlights before so I was able to recognize him easily since you've mentioned it.

Just click the picture so it will zoom out the data written. As you can see in the picture, Gaballo's picture was not attach, this means he is not a known boxer, and there's only one meaning of this, he will be the underdog of this fight.

This what makes this fight interesting to watch as both fighters are tough not only on papers but also on experience. Although he tasted his first defeat against the Japanese Monster, Rodriguez has nothing to be ashamed of as we all know how explosive of a fighter Inoue is and Rodriguez should shake the monkey off his back and focus on this fight.

Though this is a replacement vs replacement fight, still WBC will sanction this one for the Interim Bantamweight title.

is there already a Bookmark for this fight?and Odds are already given? i checked but find nothing .

But the statistics is close as Rodriguez has only 1 defeat over the undefeated Gallardo on who's making Name in Bantamweight division these days.

This is much awaited match and will surely attract Boxing fans as new names that making their way to the top.

Ok it's good to hear that the WBC will sanction this as interim championship and the winner will probably get either Donaire or Naoya Inoue. So this makes this might interesting to watch as for sure both are though and rugged and will proved that they belong in this weight division and be ranked. Haven't check the odds but I might change and to Rodriguez here.

If that is the case then it really makes Gaballo very dangerous to Rodriguez because he is unknown. There could be video of him around, but still not enough for Rodriguez and his team to scout and prepare.

Remember Any Ruiz, I would say that he is no name that time but was given the opportunity and he grab it to upset Anthony Joshua. So we might see something similar here and it's possible to score an upset. And if you look at his record, he is a knock out artist as well.

I recognize Reymart Gaballo as a boxer who is very good at taking advantage of his opponent's situation. very reliable .. but on this occasion I will support Emmanuel Rodriguez. The reason is, he will have the passion and confidence to overthrow Reymart in the boxing ring on December 19. despite Emmanuel's accomplishments as the IBF Bantamweight Boxing Champion. will not be a hindrance in her ambition to defeat Reymart.

Reymart Gaballo will have the same passion and even more he is knocking out his opponent and throwing a lot of haymaker, he is a bully in the ring Rodriguez but if he cannot counter punch Gaballo he is in big trouble, if Gaballo can take his punch then Rodriguez will be in big trouble.

I do think Reymart Gaballo has a good chance since the other player got back due to the COVID but at the same time even though he held the title back in 2018 , I do think that Emmanuel Rodriguez is going to win this time. He does have a lot to loose since he has a chance after a long time now. But at the same time Gaballo is going to prove a super fierce opponent since is winning streak is kind of very good.

Both have their own reasons regarding the fight , both of them are literally on like , one have to maintain his streak and one have to show the world that he is still worthy of being the champion therefore I do believe that there is not any less passion in any player , I do believe it's more or less our personal opinion now but in some days we can see who will win.

This is going to be a super close call and a really risky if someone is going to gamble on the fight. With such a close call it would be fun seeing who wins.

Upon checking their records, Reymart has an advantage in terms of experience as he has a perfect record with a 23 wins and 20 KO's while Emmanuel only has 19 wins , 1 loss and 12 KO's only.

I am looking forward whether Reymart can retain his undefeated record or Emmanuel can outsmart Reymart in their upcoming fight. Emmanuel recently loss to Inoue so I am sure that he will do his best in this upcoming fight to retain his good record.

Both will do their best because this is once in a lifetime as a boxer to fight for the championship so I expect both fighters to be prepared and give their all in the ring. Reymrt Gaballo is literally unknown here and high chance that he will be the huge underdog in this fight but it does not mean that the chance of him winning is slim, so I'll bet for the Filipino pug if odds are already there.

That's unpredictable for Reymart Gaballo for now, and their fight is nearly approaching so it's quite hard to decide since I don't really have familiarize his fights. However, based on the record he showed positive impressions to me. Maybe I could take more further reviews on his videos of the previous fights, and let's see what if I would be putting my bets on him soon.

Gaballo although has faced a lot and hasn't lost, the number of prominent fighters that he has defeated is zero to none while Rodriguez has a Jason Moloney and Paul Butler under his belt. This could be a fun game as there are a lot of Filipino rising talents in the realm of boxing and I am happy that they are getting some recognition in the world stage. I would place my bet on Rodriguez though, he is seasoned although he stopped fighting for awhile after his defeat with Inoue, I think this could be a showdown and the one that comes out on top will be a talk of the town.

Both fighters are about equal and each one is good in his own way. It's not easy to guess which one will win, so I'll refrain from betting on one of them and just watch the tape of the fight or if I'm lucky to watch the live broadcast of the fight on Saturday.

Raymart gaballo  23 wins 0 loss 0 draw. 5 6" height with 68" reach

Emmanuel Rodriguez 19 wins 1 loss 0 draw .same height  67" reach


the way it looks seems the Filipino Fighter has an advantage here,so any Odds released for this bout?and when is the exact date will happens.

Young with a solid record, I'll go for Reymart on this match and I hope this fight will push through since many matches that I'm waiting for was already cancelled due to some specific reason, just like the Donaire match. Anyway, Reymart will surely defend his record and win on this match, is there any betting site for this match?

Those two are both good fighters and can finish all the rounds with no problems since they've been training hard for the fight. the only question here is if they can manage to take each other punches cause that's where most fights concluded when someone is taking more damage than the other, the fight will likely end earlier than expected.

That's much better if you are undecided or if you think that both are equal.

Better not to bet and just simply enjoy watching them fighting, better be safe or regret when you mistakenly place a bet. I'll look forward for this fight to take place and find alternative ways in the internet, Good luck Everyone!

No odds released yet on the bookies, usually, they will release odds on this kind of fight one day before the fight itself. Both are not yet that popular, that's the reason for the delay in the release of betting odds. I do hope that Raymart Gaballo will be the underdog here so the odds for him will be attractive as I might bet for him though TBH I have not watched a single one of his fights.

I haven't seen crypto sportsbooks here that listed this match yet.
But checking the oddschecker, there are 2 bookmakers so far is having this event on their list.

@TimeTeller, at least this odds will give us an idea who is the favorites and the underdog here.
After seeing this, I think I will go for Reymart Gaballo to win this fight by KO, I'm expecting that the odds will be open a day before the fight.

We can say that Emmanuel Rodriguez may want another win to regain his loss on his previous fight.
But Reymart Gaballo for sure don't want his record will become dirty, he will fight his being undefeated fighter, which this is very important for me. They got really close boxing records, more bouts on Gaballo, much experienced, age is not too far.
If boxer is undefeated, I am favor to it.
I agree with @Questat, this kinda be a win by KO, if you look at the KOs record of Reymart Gaballo, 86.96%, it is outstanding!

I love to watch this, Filipino fighter as the underdog, it seems very enticing to bet on the Filipino fighter.
They are underrated and I like that as I'm getting a good value on the betting odds.

However, you are right, it could be a bounce back win for Rodriguez, so let's just see who will be victorious.

These boxers as long as they will give a good fight will be recognize, who knows it could be a fight of the year if they will give their best.

Odds is already out on my favorite sportsbook and it's pretty much even. If you are a fan of either fighter, that betting odds is really attractive.

Personally, i'm betting here for Raymart Gaballo. This is his chance of showcasing his talent in the world stage and we could expect him to give his all.

Nice odds for Gaballo here mate, but do you know where you watch it live? I mean you have a streaming site to follow?

It would be nice if we will not anymore pay for the PPV if this one is on PPV.

Interesting odds for Raymart Gaballo, relatively unknown, but sport punters gave him so much respect that the odds are very close. And I'm sure that most Filipino will put their money on him on this fight, specially that Donaire is out.

Yes, this his is very chance to showcase his talents because this division is one of the most watch, with Inoue at the top.

Just want to add the odds of other bookmakers here from  bestodds (https://www.bestodds.ai/odds/sport-boxing/matchups/emmanuel-rodriguez-vs-reymart-gaballo). Their odds have small gap, so it means, this fight, may be a toe-to-toe one.

https://i.ibb.co/ZKK3SSY/Screen-Shot-2020-12-18-at-7-22-19-AM.png

Seems that Gaballo is underdog here but worth betting on him as he has something to show to the world.

Sportsbet has price boost, I tried boosting that odds now and it gave me 2.12, I think I will take it, the fight is scheduled this Sunday in my timezone.
Backing the Filipino fighter here and try to support our own. Good luck guys!

He really I have high regards for boxers with hard punches and a knock out artist they are always on the game, and they can always put out their opponent anytime, Rodriguez can go the distance and he is getting stronger in the latter Gaballo should knock him out early in the match or this could end up in a decision win for Rodriguez.

I agree that the odds are pretty attractive for Gaballo and it means that the fight is really unpredictable, specially a unknown fighter in Gaballo, and either bet is really good to be honest. But I will go with Gaballo, I think there's no pressure on him, although I would say that this is a world stage, it will be a test to see how good he really is in this fight.

However, the only option for now is ML, looking for more bet options like KO or if the fight will extend, it might offer much better odds I think.

It is more exciting fight to watch for if Donaire  wasn't replace by Gaballo. I bet everybody knows already how Donaire put a fight into a good fight if He was on the ring but i bet Gaballo will offer a good fight too to Emmanuel Rodriguez. This underdog fighter seems has a huge potential instill in him. However, we may only know this if ever the game will push through on the set date, i will do another research so i can safely place my bet.

Yup, unfortunately our Filipino Flash was not immune to Covid-19 (no one is), but fortunately, another Filipino will have a crack as the interim belt is on the line. So whoever wins here will have a chance against either Donaire or Inoue. So lets hope that Gaballo win here, such an underdog, but he is a live underdog as the saying goes.

And now that we have the odds, @2.x is pretty for us, double your money which is very hard to find in boxing, unless you bet on the Lopez vs Loma a couple of months back. Because that is the upset of the year.

Yes but Gaballo has a chance he has a good record although an underdog he can still pull this one, remember Pacquiao on his first fight in the US against Ledwaba he is underdog but he is able to knock Ledwaba out, Gaballo now has a chance to shock the world, Gaballo has the power he just need a good trainer to polish his skill and ring generalship.

Logically right. Before they accept this fight they knew that chances is there for Caballo.

We would see that when the actual fight take place, it's always good to predict and provide your own opinions but everything will be
determine when the two boxers already inside the ring and fighting. It will all be concluded once the fight ended,.

Gaballo had an undefeated record, that alone you can already tell that he is a good fighter.
It's his chance to shine as the world is going to watch this fight, tomorrow we will now who is gonna win but I'm sure I'm with the underdog here.

Rodriguez Emmanuel is my favorite becasue i have watched him fight with passion, basically their historicity shown that the underdog in this fight is Reymart Gaballo (age also matters here) becasue his fight on the ring sometimes doesn't match a good fighter like Emmanuel who will do everything to take the win IMO.

I usually watched boxing matches on live streaming but they upload the link 24 hours before the fight so this means the we will be having that on the next 24 hours. Don't you worry as i will post it here once available.

Raymart Gaballo looks trimmed during the final fce-off, good sign for those who backed him up.

It's not too late to bet on this young fella yet, I'll back on him to win.
The odds keeps decreasing by the way, lucky those bettors who put a bet when the line was still at 2.06 or more, now it's down to 1.93.


Thanks, I didn't see it but I'll take this as a good advise.

I also think that Emmanuel Rodriguez should take advantage of the chance and win, otherwise a second defeat in a row can greatly spoil his career and throw him far from fighting for the title. But let's not forget that both fighters appeared to replace the retired fighters due to unsportsmanlike reasons and did not specifically prepare for each other. therefore, gaballo may well surprise and win the fight, although of course the representative of puerto rico is the favorite in this fight.

I predict Rodriguez will win the fight against Gaballo, especially since Rodriguez has boxing experience above Gaballo.
I'm pretty sure Rodriguez can beat Gaballo, although I also admit Gaballo isn't an easy opponent to beat. Another thing
that makes me optimistic that Rodriguez will win the fight is his motivation that is big enough to get up, after experiencing
defeat against Naoya Inoue. This is indeed a very interesting fight to wait for. Hopefully my prediction is correct, because
I bet pretty big on Emmanuel Rodriguez's win.

Well, of course, I will go to my fellow countryman and be proud of him, --perhaps Reymart Gaballo will win this fight. By the way, OP can you make a poll on them, and what is the community choice base on their criteria upon choosing which one will win.

---

These two fighters had a different goal, Gaballo wants recognition while his opponent Emannuel Rodriguez wants redemption. Because Emmanual supposed to fight with Nonito Donaire but unfortunately he was unconditional right now as I hear he was infected with the coronavirus and this Gaballo was the replacement. But then let see who will win this fight, both are aggressive fighters and I know that my fellow countryman will hardly defeat Emannuael, --but still I am supporting him.

Interesting what will be the result here. But on my part, I will go for Gaballo. He is hungry to get that recognition. And if we look at the current odds now : 1.87 (Rodriguez) vs 1.95 (Gaballo). Getting close. It means bookies are having hard time also choosing which one will prevail on this match.

Odds quickly changing as the fight is approaching. The present odds makes Gaballo as the favorites to win the fight.

Gaballo 1.82
Rodriguez 1.95

This is an interesting odds movement, it's pretty much favors Gaballo here IMO.

Yeah, saw that just now. The bookies are flipping. They are now seeing the potential of Gaballo. Will be watching this fight in few hours. The odds are still close. If Gaballo will win here, Donaire will be more than happy also, despite the fact that his Covid test was a mistake, there will be a good outcome from that unfortunate situation.

Betting for Raymart Gaballo @1.82 now  ;D, it's fine with me just used a little boost and it will be up @ 1.90.

Who could have influenced the turn-around or shift of the odds? The users in this forum or the Vegas bettors? Just curious?
^^ For those who want to watch the fight live, please see above link.

Thanks for the link mate. Watching the fight live on Facebook is just a waste of time, too many ads and sometimes they would take it down in the middle of the fight.
I'm also rooting for the Filipino fighter to win as they are more dangerous in a scenario like this and one thing also, their opponent lack the time scouting him as he is just a replacement fighter. Good luck to all of us.

Wow, what a complete turn of events, I should have put a bet when the odds is still @2.x for Gaballo, LOL. Nevertheless, it's awesome to see the Filipino getting the nod of boxing pundits.

I think there's some whales on Vegas that put a lot of money on Raymart because they know something is about to happen in this fight.

I do hope that Gaballo won't disappoint his Filipino fans. The triple header has just started and probably in a couple of hours we will see the main event and thanks again for that link.

I started watching the fight from Round 5 until Round 12. What I observed on the last 2-3 rounds, Emmanuel Rodriguez really owning here, I thought Reymart Gaballo is about to knockout from there.
I am also worried that I think Reymart Gaballo gonna lose the fight, but hell yeah, he is still undefeated.
I think if Rodriguez manages to knock out Reymart Gaballo, for sure he won.

Reymart Gaballo win against Emmanuel Rodríguez on a narrow split decision. Both players did play good and anyone could have won this match.
You can see the round results here as how tough it was to decide the winner.

https://i.imgur.com/BqfSJdU.png

I can't believe I won the bet, the announcers was all in favor of Rodriguez winning the fight and actually I am also convince because although Gaballo is the aggressor but he is not hitting clean shots, but it's been decided and I will not complain as I won my bet, I will consider this as an advance Christmas gift.

Questionable win I would say, I think Raymart did enough though, but not to really wow the boxing fans that's why that win is really tough to decide. Guess Raymart was nervous and not to used to get this attention and the limelight.

I thought that he is going to knock him out, but he just cruises to have the decision. While Rodriguez gave everything in the championship that might have sway the one judges that favour him.

It may be a controversial decision but it is what it is lol. An early Christmas gift indeed but unfortunately for me i lost my other bet on the Canelo vs Smith fight. Do we expect a rematch here or Gaballo will fight Donaire next for this belt?

https://i.imgur.com/FrDQKgg.png

I got a higher odds, lol.. A rematch, I think if  Rodriguez would ask for it for sure Gaballo would give him a chance. I'm pretty sure Gaballo would not want that people will doubt on him, he want to prove that he won convincingly and it's only possible if there's a rematch.

Or better yet, just move on to another fighter like Oubaali. But a re-match may possibly happen just for the sake of proving that Gaballo deserves the title. Now, Donaire can happily accept the reason why he didn't get this fight as it paved the way for Gaballo in the boxing scene of more opportunities to come.

This scenario might hold for this interim bantamweight belt, Donaire vs Oubaali then the winner will face Raymart Gaballo.

Leave Rodriguez out of the picture because he is not impressive in that fight. If a rematch will take place I think Raymart Gaballo will still win. 

If Donaire fought Rodriguez  he has a good chance of beating Rodriguez and if there is a match between Donaire and Gaballo, Donaire can easily beat Gaballo, with his vast experience and good offense and defense, Donaire will be to much for Gaballo.

Rodriguez had no match against Donaire with the way he fight. Donaire is smarter, while Gaballo has less experience so if Donaire can't KO Rodriguez, the least I'll expect is a convincing win by him, no controversy unlike this fight.

Well, that is right, and how much more if Donaire was there not Reymart Gaballo. Perhaps Rodriguez won't be able to finish until the 12th round.
I also won this match, -- I know that Gaballo can make it to win even though he has less experience compared to Donaire, he trained very well and I think he deserves what he got now. I have been already been an insight into who is the next Filipino boxer will follow the step of Manny Pacquiao which is known as a king in the boxing career. Congrats to winners out there.

A win is still a win though, congrats on your bet mate, as least you have manage to win on this. I don't think there will be a rematch though, if Raymart has the interim belt then the can defend it, I do hope that he can win his first defense of the belt so that he can set up a big pay check fight with Donaire, if Nonito gets healthy next year.

However, according to Rodriguez, they will appeal the decision. So let's see how it goes.

Rodriguez camp believe they were cheated, so to erase all those doubts, maybe Gaballo's camp will approach them and give them a rematch.
Just like when Mayweather won against Maydana in their first fight and it was a controversial one, Mayweather give a rematch and beat Maydana clearly in the 2nd fight. I believe Gaballo would give Rodriguez a chance and maybe will tell him not to run like Mayweather so he will win. lol.

They have every reason to appeal, even me, I'm surprised with the decision, the only reason I see why judges gave Gaballo the win is because he is very aggressive though not effectively hitting his opponent.

Too bad for Rodriguez,  most of the boxing fans thought he won the fight, and I'm sure he is expecting as well but can't believe with what has happened. He was not trying to be aggressive because he learn from his previous defeat against Inoue but that was the reason why he lose the fight.

Damn, I though it was a loss bet already, I was about to close my laptop and just accept the defeat even before the judges score was announce but then I realized maybe I'll just listen to the scores and I was really surprise that I won, I don't know, I'm a bit happy while sad at the same time because I believe Rodriguez here was cheated.

Lots of video reaction online about the win of Gaballo, it was really controversial, they need to put an end to this by giving mmanuel Rodriguez a chance for a rematch. Gaballo for sure has learned a lot of lessons here that he can't just rely on his power, he also need to use some technique to still remain effective despite of the style of the opponent which would just score and run.

It was a disappointing game, if only Rodriguez gave a toe to toe fight, the win of Gaballo could be convincing.

I rewatch the fight, and now I have questions on how Gaballo win, and I would agree that the reaction was fair, I'm not saying that this is clear highway robbery or something. But the judges scoring is somewhat controversial and questionable.

And the best way to silent Gaballo is to give Rodriguez a rematch next year. I'm sure since he won the first fight (???), his manager can ask a fair deal, 50-50 split purse at least.

This win is fine since he was the attacker and that's how boxing goes you need to throw some punch to get some score if you just continue running that way, you only make it hard to decide for the judges and the audiences. When the judges split their decision for a win for Gaballo, lots of people criticize their decision since they thought Rodriguez has won that match and since we don't have the same vision as those of those judges, we just need to accept their decisions.

I hope the appeal will be granted the soonest, this time I want Gaballo to win convincingly, because the judges were corrupt and favouring him excuse. The sooner we see this fight the better for him so that he can move on other fights with good name and build his resume closely in this very good weight classes. Otherwise this will be a big question mark on his resume if he didn't give Rodriguez a second chance.

Even Manny Pacquiao experienced this Kind of treatment considering that Time he is already the Boxing Champ "Pambansang Kamao"

Someone from the Higher must act on this, and also As a senator Why Manny have not creating actions on this?
 or is it So influential and Celebrities are on the aback of this Corrupt practices in Boxing world.

If it will go to legal process, I believe it will take time, the best thing they will do for the controversy to stop once in for all is to give Rodriguez a rematch, if Gaballo still win the fight, then people would not talk about the first fight anymore.

The statement of Rodiguez which goes.

He knows I won, people knows he lost is like saying everyone is convince he was cheated.

I also believe the easiest way to determine the winner is through a rematch, there's a lot of controversial fight in the past and I have never seen the judge was convicted for rigging the result. Example, Pacquiao's loss to Timothy Bradley, while everyone believe that Pacquiao won, but he never complain, instead he ask for a rematch and he got a win in the rematch and even in the 3rd fight.

Yeah right, it will be much better to have a quick rematch while this issue still unsettled fans will be more greatful to watch and bet for this fight.



It will favor him if he get this one with a convincing win against Rodriguez, fans will love this and promoters will bring him more exposures.


For sure he's camp will consider this as they are also aiming to build him up and have a much higher value.

So what's next for Gaballo?

We've seen how he fought, he is not as smart as we thought, it's just that Judges made a bad decision and declare him as a winner, that's why we are reading a lot of disagreements on the decision not only from Rodriguez camp but from people who really watch the fight.

All I wish for him is to improve, he needs a good trainer who knows how to adjust in the game, not to tell him to go aggressive all the time.
Every opponent has their own style, so adjustment is really necessary.

Next is to defend his title, there's no news about the rematch yet so probably we won't be seeing this two fight again soon.

I'll just lock this thread since the fight is already over, thank you for all you honest opinion shared in there, hopefully we will see these fighters to fight again, may it be a rematch between themselves or a different fighter.

Advance Merry Christmas guys!
