Payed the 45 bones, had the homies over, and I respect BSP big time. The man has fought some hard core battles, and won them all as a title defending machine. But he actually won those fights. Beat up, tore up from the floor up, he retained his belt, while the guy who looked unscathed lost a fight he clearly won.
You have to beat a champion to get that belt, never leave it in the judge's hands, I get that.
Legacy being involved, marketing, remembering the old "split decisions" in boxing, I get that.
But that's some rough reggae whooping on the world's best and then getting snubbed. Hendricks will no doubt be in the next title bout but he won the friggin title tonight.
BSP looked beat up after the fight, and I aint talking his appearance. I don't know if he pre-planned his "possible retirement", but after that fight it's good timing either way.
Hendricks took it to BSP for the first 2 rounds, BPS definitely took the third. BSP was almost done at least a couple times in the fight while Hendricks was never in danger. BSP looked like he fought 5 dudes at the same time, makes that belt raising look spectacular.
Dana lost some fans tonight as even the crowd booed. That was rough to watch.
