Battle Across the Border - USA vs Mexico

[ironbelle]

This is my first fight of the year and it was amateur fighting. The ring is alot smaller and the scoring is different. I was trying one point focusing and think I will go back to my 9 points. Of the 11 bouts, Team Mexico won 8 of them and just the crowd was not happy about the decision of the 3rd bout. Rico Ramos(USA) was clearly winning, but the judges gave the nod to Arturo Santos which made the crowd boo like hell.

Rico Ramos(blue) and Arturo Santos(red). Ramos clearly outpunched Santos, but Santos got the nod and the crowd got ugly.

Luis Yanez receiving some coaching. Luis was the only fighter on the US team who has actually qualified for the Summer games. He didn't win his fight and it was the first fight of the evening.

Did you use PP to replace the chunk of ear that Mike Tyson took out of Holyfield's ear? :mad:

[ironbelle]

LOL. I didn't touch the ears. I'm still looking for the one that got munched on.

I think it is the outside of the right ear, just below the top.
