i dont know if i am being too harsh but wade is to inconsistent for me! I am from new york i was impressed with his skills but he is up and down. i expected him to win this whole thing and he loses in the first round!

Chin from the honeycomb boxing gym. I watched the dominic wade fight and I can tell you. The scoring is questionable out here in colorado. I can also tell you that the region 2 consensus feeling is that the judges were not giving Wade the points that he should have gotten. He landed many body shots that were impressive, but were not scored in his behave. I have also noticed that it is hard to get a point for jabs out here.
It does not matter which round you lose in because you might meet the best fighter in the first round. It is the luck of the draw.
