Agnew had no business being in the same ring. Very impressed with Bivol.

Oh, Bivol is the mandatory challenger for the winner of Kovalev/Ward.
That could be interesting.
That could be interesting.
Frampton and Quigg both ducked Rigondeaux for years (imo). That's how great the Cuban was in his prime. Supremely underrated. Can't wait for this.
Btw, I'd love to see NBC, or Sky or HBO, or whoever, throw a feckload of money at a Super Six winner takes all tournament. One for the 147 division, one for the middleweight division. It would be brilliant. Hard to negotiate in this day and age I guess.
Here comes Rigondeaux.
He's down!
Absolute classs!!!!
feck after the bell? What a shot though!
fecking joke looks like the mexican is diving
Paulie is talking shit here. It was a delayed reaction to an illegal punch, but he clearly rocked him.
He hit him after the bell. Has to be no contest of DQ.
Now they're talking about a rabbit punch? what the feck?
My view too. I thought the ref helped prop him up briefly before he fell.
Can't the ref watch a replay? Boxing really doesn't help itself!
They're going to disqualify him here. fecking bizarre.
Going no contest.
Half of me is suspicious that they're making a meal of this to delay the main event.
They're making a phone call to the HBO truck to get the replay now.
Maybe, but this referee's career is now over!
Now they're saying it was legal.
Oh what, bit of a shift of opinion. Very, very weird.
fecking insane, it's been deemed legal. KO it is!
Wow, what a cluster.
I think it's a fair decision, though I think Paulie is going overboard. You can't criticise a fighter who gets hit that hard just because he didn't go down the way you expect him to. He was out cold.
Anyway, I don't think there's a fighter better pound for pound in the world. He's in his late thirties and just beat an undefeated challenger! One round!
I agree with Paulie, seemed to me Flores tried to buy a disqualification win after getting hit after the bell.
Deserved decision in the end. Rigondeaux is just pure class.

how did they rule that punch was thrown before the bell?I'm not sure. He threw a punch, missed, but he got absolutely rocked. It wasn't feigned imo.
Frampton needs to meet him at a catchweight or whatever.
They're talking Lomachenko. That could be one of the fights of the decade.
A bit harsh there. The ref clearly props him up and he lays there taking the time to recover. I don't think he was claiming he was knocked out.
Also Chris Wiedman is somewhere shaking his head in anger
I lost respect for Frampton as he would always call out Quigg for ducking Rigo and then did the exact same thing after he took Quigg's belt.
Flores milked it hoping for a dq imo.
Yep, he ducked him completely. Both did, but Frampton talked an immense amount of shit about it. It pisses me off because there's no shame in losing to a generational phenomenon like Rigondeaux. It's a win-win situation.
Can't agree, I think he was out cold. A delayed response to a very powerful punch.
A lot of people hate on Ward but he's never ducked a fight, and he's beaten the best. The closest thing to Mayweather in the higher weight classes. Completely nullified Froch.
A round a piece.
Ward's round.
