sergio martinez and Ali Funeka both got robbed last night!!!

[HattonTheHammer]

1st of all cintron failed to make the 10 count for a clean punch and it should of been given a TKO at the end of the 5th yet the lame excuse of saved by the bell (clearly stated before the fight you cannot be saved by the bell in any round) robbed him of an easy nights work.

Then a ridiculous point gets taken off in the 12th round for something so pety it was an utter joke. And then to top it all off what should of been a resounding points win for martinez (116-110 at the very least) gets scored a draw by majority decision and the man who did everything possible to win the fight including knocking his man down for a 10 count has to come out with only a draw!!!

Off to the next fight and Ali Funeka warts and all clearly won at least 9 of the 12th rounds and should of got the decision over nate (i had it 114-112 for funeka). Ok so this isnt exactly a robbery compared to the martinez screwjob but despite having a complete glass chin the guy clearly out worked campbell for at least 2/3rds of the fight and should of got at the very least a draw from it!!


PS:Angulo looked awesome, cannot wait for him to take over at 154 and fight williams!!

Funeka definately doesnt have a glass chin. He showed he can recover from a punch pretty well even after being knocked down. Nate was the bigger, stronger man. I give Funeka credit for even going through with the fight, let alone nearly winning it. I had it a draw by the way.

Martinez definately got the shaft..Cintron looked very lethargic...Had the Nate/Funeka fight a draw. After the knockdown Nate never changed anything up

Case #1
Martinez got triple robbed last night

1) It looked to me that the ref waved off the fight in the 7th
Robbery 1......Martinez TKO victory

2) 12th round Cintron was turning his head down which caused the placement of Martinez's shots
Robbery 2......Point deduction

3) Ultimately this was caused by item number two here. 2 judges had it 6 rounds a piece (no idea how they had that, in my estimation this was a very easy fight to score 8 rounds clearly went to Martinez, 2 rounds to Cintron, the first 2 rounds were debateable and could have gone either way because neither guy did anything.)
Robbery 3......Scoring was horrendous.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Case #2 Funeka, I disagree that this was a robbery, There are legitimate arguments depending on how you are scoring a fight to give it to either man or even a draw, just because it was a little different than yours doesn't mean it's a robbery.

I couldn't finish watching the Martinez fight, it was boring so I ffwded through it. But caught the knockdown cause I thought the fight was over then saw them fighting again? Seemed like b.s.

However, watched all of Nate and Ali. Although I agree it was a close fight it's nearly impossible for me to award a fight to someone who was almost out twice in the fight. Funeka outworked Campbell but clearly received more damage. Nate punched himself out, and wasn't busy enough in the middle rounds but he landed cleaner harder shots. If you take away the knockdowns you could call this one a robbery, but Funeka was nearly out for 5 minutes of that fight.

Hats off to Funeka for being a warrior, but there was no robbery, he got beat up.

[JazMerkin]

No way was the Funeka-Campbell fight a robbery, it was one of those close fights that could just about have gone either way & most people had it either a draw or 114-112 for Nate.

The Martinez-Cintron fight was stupid though, I gave Cintron at most 3 rounds.

I'm OK with Nate getting the decision, and as he said Funeka's day will come.

Robbery point # 4) Cintron got 2:30 to recover his whits after the KD.

I hope Cintron fights someone with a vicious upper cut next. Someone could probably just hold their fist down low for him to slam his face into!

it wasn't considered save by the bell.. The ref eventually said that he made the 10 count and was not counted out, regardless of the bell.

If you look at Nate's reaction when they announced him the winner he seemed pretty surprised lol.. I had Funeka winning, but that was a fight i could see going either way w/ the knockdowns.. Cintron got really lucky, and after about the 2nd round it seemed Martinez was dictating the fight and was on point.

The Nate decision could be argueable but Sergio Martinez got robbed big time.

I agree but this is why i am no longer a big boxing fan. Its too bad too, but if this keeps up i am done watching.

[No Contest]

Bullshit, Funeka did not get robbed, you all just score whatever the hbo guys say...in the stretch of Funeka rounds that Letterman gave him Nate won I think the 6th or 7th, and that would have gave him the fight on lettermans card. You cant call close fights like that robberies, make you look like a crybaby.

You dont think alot of those rounds were close? After rewatching the fight, it was closer than alot are making it out. People just love to whine about judges it's become the thing to do.

i agree, i thought the Campbell/Funeka fight was a draw but it could easily go for either guy, but on that note the 2 kd's do come to play

Cintron/Martinez fight was utter bullshit

Are you talking about the Campbell fight or the Martinez one? Because Martinez got absolutely robbed; the Campbell fight could've gone either way.

[Galaxy]

Martinez was robbed big time!

I thought Campbell just edged Funeka!
