*** was that performance by Rivera? Super gun-shy, he was having a lot of trouble with his distance, missed a lot of shots. Probably his worst fight I've ever seen.

Rivera was essentially a deer in headlights because of Aljo’s reach and his takedown attempts. I was impressed by Rivera’s takedown defense though.

When the crowd boos, I get embarrassed on their behalf.  I just find it so stupid and insulting.  Do people boo in the NFL whenever there isn't a touchdown being scored or 90 people tackling each other?  Do they boo the quarterback for taking too long to call the play (or whatever they do)?  It is just so lame.
