Ring City 5: Machado vs. Fierro

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Machado brought the heat in Round 3 of the contest, but doesn't quite get the Stoppage, even though he hit Fierro with some cracking shots, especially to the body, but we move into Round 4...🤔🤑💯🥊💪👊👍

Angel Fierro bites down on his gumshield in Round 4 and returns fire to show Alberto Machado that he his still in the fight... An excellent contest thus far through 5 completed Rounds... Merchado needs to stay focused, because Fierro is giving it his all... Great matchmaking 🤔🧐🤑💯🥊💪👊👍

Through 5 and Fierro is feeling more and more confident... Why does Machado sometimes struggle when he doesn't get his opponent out of there early doors...?? The fight is definitely getting interesting as we move into Round No. 6 🤔🧐🤑💯🥊👊👍

Props to the 6% that picked Fierro.

Alberto Machado just got wiped out... Absolutely astonishing... How the hell did he let Fierro back into the fight... Machado absolutely dominated Fierro through the first 3 Rounds, dropping him in the 1st, then the 2nd and controlling the action through the 3rd Round, looking for the finish... Then from Round 4, Fierro started to edge his way back into the contest, but only because Machado for some reason stopped using a solid Jab and this therefore allowed Fierro to start banging to Machado's fragile body... After another good Round 5 from Fierro, in Round No. 6 Fierro hits Machado with a massive Left Hook from out of nowhere, which struck Machado clean on the chin and scored Fierro the surprising Knockout victory... After that defeat, I think Machado could be a finished fighter at the top level of the Sport... He might have to try and secure a rematch with Fierro if he his to push forward with a Boxing Career, because with that spectacular KO loss, Machado's Boxing Career is currently in tatters... A great fight whilst it landed though... 🤔🧐🤑💯🥊👊👍👏💪🇲🇽

Well said Blackbet25... Although for the 94% who predicted Machado, we were close with our prediction... Machado just couldn't quite get Fierro out of there during the first 3 Rounds, despite his efforts... Then he had his leaky defence exposed has Fierro started to build his way back into the contest from Round 4 onwards... I still can't quite believe that Machado got KO'ed in that fashion after dominating Fierro through the first 3 Rounds... Shocked, because Machado didn't even Gas... He just doesn't fight well when his opponent started to put his hands on him 🤔🧐🤑💯🥊👊👍👏
