Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
I don't think there is a perception that he won easily. Fans all over forums are acknowledging the difficulty he had, and everyone knows damn well you were in a hell of a fight when your face looks like that after it's over.ForceFed_231 wrote:Cuadras isn't finished in division that is for sure or at least I hope not.

There has been some great distance fights this year. That was one of them. What a war.tainos wrote:Great fight! Chocolatito got busted up in the latter stages. Looked like Roman was going to win easy in the mid rounds but Cuadras got stronger as the fight went on. FOTY.

Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
Such a great fight. Was refreshing to see two very good fighters go at it and go for the win after the short changed fight earlier
Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
I don't think Inoue has a good shot at beating him... Cuadras is more a puncher while Inoue is a grinder... very open with both hands out there... dangerous imo vs a hooker like roman

Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
Yes indeed. Between rounds 11 and 12 they both looked done on their stool. I really had a bad feeling for Roman late. He didn't look good.hardcorebee24 wrote:There has been some great distance fights this year. That was one of them. What a war.tainos wrote:Great fight! Chocolatito got busted up in the latter stages.

Add to the fact that Cuadras is bigger than Inoue and also that he's on steroids.the13r wrote:I don't think Inoue has a good shot at beating him... Cuadras is more a puncher while Inoue is a grinder... very open with both hands out there... dangerous imo vs a hooker like roman
Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
Roman won a war of attrition tonight. There were several instances where I felt Cuadras wanted to quit as Roman kept pressuring him and Cuadras was exhausted.tainos wrote:Yes indeed.

Cuadras has never tested positive for steroids so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not on them.5_burowz wrote:Add to the fact that Cuadras is bigger than Inoue and also that he's on steroids.the13r wrote:I don't think Inoue has a good shot at beating him...

Glad and proud of TTR members that this little men fight gets the love... all the FOTY of recent years have been in those divisions and hey need more visibility... shit throw in a heavyweight slugfest to gather attention with a smaller men fight but get these guys the spotlight they deserve
Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
How dangerous of a puncher is Roman at 115? He didn't really hurt his last two opponents at all...the13r wrote:I don't think Inoue has a good shot at beating him... Cuadras is more a puncher while Inoue is a grinder... very open with both hands out there... dangerous imo vs a hooker like roman

Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
He won from the tremendous pace, and effort he'd put forth early in the fight. I had Cuadras winning the 10th, 11th and 12th. He was the stronger guy over the final 3 rounds. Several of the first few rounds I gave to Cuadras were close and could've went either way. Apparently officially they went Roman's way.5_burowz wrote:Roman won a war of attrition tonight.

Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
I've never seen Gonzalez as a big one punch KO puncher anyhow. He's just a relentless attacker that breaks you down by attacking the living shit out of you.Tocsin wrote:How dangerous of a puncher is Roman at 115?

Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
depends on which style he faces... in Inoue's case i can see his hook landing all night... i don't think he stops him but i think he consistently scores all night as soon as Inoue gets in his usual efficient gears

Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
I rather think they should just make the best card regardless of the headlining fight, like Britain has been doing. True AJ gets the top billing in his turn but mostly it's lower weights and they've been promoting really good, competitive cards.the13r wrote:Glad and proud of TTR members that this little men fight gets the love... all the FOTY of recent years have been in those divisions and hey need more visibility... shit throw in a heavyweight slugfest to gather attention with a smaller men fight but get these guys the spotlight they deserve

No doubt! It was a war of attrition as they both had their moments of being gassed but they found something from within everytime.

Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
basically went as i expected and put down in my breakdown... Cuadras give a hell of a fight a la Estrada with lots of inside the pocket trading sequences... but Roman was just better even at Cuadras' game
Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
How do people think Cuadras-Inoue would go?
Re: Chocolatito" González Vs Carlos Cuadras •NOW LIVE•
Inoue could impose a higher work rate but Cudras' power on body work and looping punches would be VERY dangerous and imo would score a KD or two

I guarantee you he's on them. 100%

Then you'd all be wrong together. Gonzo landed more and threw more and controlled the pace of the fight for 12 rounds. There was nary a definitive round that Cuadras won. Gonzalez won the first half of the fight rather handily but Cuadras did better in the 2nd half. Doesn't mean that Cuadras was winning rounds though. You have to win rounds to win decisions and Cuadras wasn't landing more punches. I think you are simply swayed by the fact that Roman's face swelled up. Well, when you're moving up another weight class facing a guy who is bigger than you and also on steroids it's no wonder.

Re: Roman González defeated Carlos Cuadras Saturday •Gil RBR
Over those last 3 rounds while Gonzalez was still coming forward and moving his hands the steam had come off of his shots by a lot. Cuadras' shots were still landing with full force in those rounds.
Rounds 1, 5 and 6 which I also scored for Cuadras were all close rounds where I could see a case being made for Gonzalez. So I don't dispute the official decision. I just personally felt the fight was a draw. You don't have to agree with me, but I have clear reasons for why I scored each round the way I did.

Cuadras won four rounds at most. Period. Roman outlanded him by almost 100 punches. You need to go to Lenscrafters.
