Haha didn’t give much of a chance to the Mexican after seeing his record but damm did he put up a great fight or what!
Yeah, great fight! I never judge a guy for his record since I’ve known Emanuel Augustus :)
Fully agree with you. Augustus is incredible but to be honest almost unique. However, there no many like him.
Incredible action that never stopped thanks to the big heart of two real warriors. Surprisingly, the Mexican put a great fight in spite of his miserable record. The fight was really close and well reflected by the judges cards. However, one of them was too much in favor of Gradovich.
A+ for the effort…
D- for the skills.
I mean… It’s been like two weeks since I last watched a fight. So I picked the ATBF’s fight of the week, naturally. And after 4 rounds, I am totally bored. Galacia’s technique is so poor it’s scary… and barely professional. So why is the 14th best fighter of the division unable beat this gut properly?..If Gradovich simply worked around the jab instead of trying to mix with this crawl swinning freak, the fight you’ve ended by the 2nd round. Yeah.. A lot of action in this fight, but what kind of action?
