Inoue seriously hurt there. Defense was sloppy. Now has to show the heart of a champ and come back from adversity. #InoueNery

#OTD in 2000 Oscar De La Hoya fought Shane Mosley in what’s all too rare these days: a clash between two of the very best in the sport, pound-for-pound. And one that lived up to the hype. Check it out: thefightcity.com/june-17-de-la-… #boxing #history

One judge gave Estrada 4 of the 6 completed rounds. Absolutely mental. Tbf, he was also the only judge to score the knockdown round correctly (Bam did not deserve to lose that round 8-10). #Boxing #EstradaBam

Wild take. Couldn't believe the commentators were watching the same fight, either. Quality fight and a great win for Dalton Smith.

Incredible performance from Dalton Smith. Meant business from the off, landed solid precise shots to dominate first few rounds. Then showed proper mettle, fought fire with fire, and knocked out the division's supposed 'dangerman'. Amen, new champ. #Boxing #MatiasSmith
