That was by far the best WB has looked in a long time! He looked like a champion tonight.

Nothing but respect for Wonderboy! Coming from back to back losses he came and didnt play it safe, he was looking to finish Luque the entire fight. I have it 30-26.

@Swain agreed. I don't know if he's just a good style for Luque or what but that's the best he's looked in a long ass time.

Terrific performance from Wonderman!!! I was nervous he was gonna get KO'd for most of that fight!!
Luque took some beating there. Most would've been finished. Tho I kinda feel Thompson let him off that final 30 seconds of the 3rd

no need to listen to that decision. i was wrong also in thinking wonder bot had lost a step. at 36 hes on the last leg of his career though, i'll bet he never gets another title shot

Thompson could have got the stoppage, he played it safe. But overall a great performance.

Luque is still a threat in the division, but man what a performance by Wonderboy.

I should've been higher on Edmen finishing, Tavares has been through some wars. Still surprised Brad went down so easy.

Yeah if these last 2 fights are decent fights, which I hope they are even BETTER , then this card IS card of the year so far!! By a good margin too I think.. I’ll have to review, but I sure don’t remember this many fights that have HELD UP like this..

Yea. Luque really should keep his striking but vs guys with polished striking like WB he really needs to mix in threats of the ground game. Even for faints and to work into the pocket better. Can’t keep eating them to serve them vs guys faster, more accurate with better range, distance control and timing

Funny. Good winning I thought was very obvious. Goods a good defense wrestler.
