    Surely Hardy wins by virtue of being the only guy attempting to fight.

    I'm only half joking when I ask how much money did Dana give De Castro to throw the fight? Because that was beyond bizarre. If a boxer did nothing for the last 2/3rds of a fight everyone would be screaming 'fix'

    De Castro probably broke a bone or two in his foot but still seen people do more with worse injuries?

    Dunno how it was 30-27 by all judges? De Castro wins round 1 all day - Hardy deserves it because, well De Castro stopped fighting

    Horrible fight. I don't know what Dana is expecting at this point. Hardy doesn't partake in exciting fights. And it doesn't help that they keep putting him in against tomato cans with no gas tank.

    That fight was on the main card ahead of Cowboy v Pettis!

    No way was it unanimous though

    Unanimous/split doesn't really tell the story of how close the fights was, just how inconsistent judging is. Most fights that go to decision should be unanimous.

    Looked like he hurt his foot with one of his kicks.

    The headline fight on the Prelims and early prelims generally gets paid more than people on the main card besides headline and co-headline fights.

    The prelims are also free on ESPN so draw a massive audience and as such you need a big name fight as the prelim headliner to get even more eyes on advertisements.

    So to this point we have Michelle Waterson losing and by 30-27 with one judge, Hardy gets the first round from all three judges and then Cowboy losing which to me was dodge.

    I think saying this was a bad fight cause of the gas tank is wrong, decastro fcuked his foot up played a huge part in the sh!t show..

    Think decastro would of got him out by leg kicks or a haymaker if the foot injury didn't happen.

    I hope this is not an omen for the main event, imagine another farce like Yoel vs Adesanya..
