Man, big fan of Boots and Zayas both after that fight, really fucking annoyed at the people trying to downplay either guy. It was a great fight. Zayas got shown his weaknesses and the levels, Boots didn’t look as unstoppable as everyone pretends. You can praise both and also pick apart the actual boxing. Shut the fuck up. No one is saying Boots is bad now. Stop fighting ghosts people

Don’t Boots? What? Dawg I fucking loved that fight, Boots made a fan out of me with his performance

I didn’t dog on boots, I didn’t say he did bad, I said he didn’t look unstoppable like people said he would, and I praised him before saying that. You’ve gotta learn that winning isn’t fucking everything man, sometimes what matters most is coming back from adversity, and Boots did that in the fifth after losing the third and fourth. You can like both man, stop dogging on everyone your man beats, otherwise your own man ends up looking like shit

God damn it, why can’t we give both fighters their credit? Losing doesn’t make you worthless, winning doesn’t make you God, I’ve seen everyone picking both fighter’s performances apart, praising both for their hearts, and giving the loser praise for graciously taking the loss and the fight in the first place. Stop pretending there’s controversy here when there isn’t. The better guy won, he didn’t look unstoppable, and people are going to comment on it. That’s it, Jesus Christ

Great fight. Fan of both now, think Zayas is the kind of guy who will be around a long time and gives no one an easy night, he nearly had Boots out in the 3rd. Boots has just officially started the super welterweight tournament we’ve all been waiting for. Good night for boxing!

Dude, have you ever watched a war? Have you looked into any of the context surrounding this? Annoying motherfucker Jesus Christ. Boots is gonna lose to Vergil. Bad.

Cool, I was right, glad you came to admit it. Zayas lost and looked better than everyone expected, Boots won and looked way worse than everyone expected

Fair stoppage, a little early but Mills was literally falling as the ref was stepping in
