fights that pissed you off
I was rewatching Canelo v Trout last eve. I can't help but get heated every time I watch it. First off, Canelo has become a diety figure in Mexico which pisses me off. Sure, he is a good fighter but thirty thousand people on their feet for someone who fights for a minute or two each round is ridiculous. I think Trout is one of the more decent guys in boxing. He shows sincere respect for his opponents and I think his style is beautiful. He stays active during the entire fight and is a lot of fun to watch. Canelo seemed intent in driving home the fact this fight was for revenge for his brother. Trout reiterated this fight about the fight at hand. I don't like to use the word robbery, it gets thrown around a lot. Canelo probably won by a round but calling it a draw I think would not have been ridiculous. The scoring was shameful. Canelo had an advantage before the fight started
I hate to say it but I want to see Floyd Money ktfo of Alvarez. It may actually help Alvarez in the long run,
Do you guys have any similar feelings or am I off my rocker
Re: fights that pissed you off
I will say that ANY fight for a title that is not fought at the weight designated for that title pisses me off.
Any fight for the diamond/silver/aluminum/emerald/platinum or any other belt other than the ACTUAL CHAMPIONSHIP pisses me off.
So I can say that really, Floyd coming in 4 pounds over a contracted weight with JMM ticks me off.
All champions who have vacated a title because they haven't made the weight frustrate me a bit, but if you are off by more than 2 pounds, it pisses me off... especially if you fight anyway and knock the challenger out due to your advantage, then brag about your performance in the post-fight interview. You just lost your belt before the bell rung, but you're BRAGGING? Just sayin'...
Re: fights that pissed you off
Whitaker V Chavez (The draw was a travesty and bad for boxing...then no rematch WTF?)
I can't blame Chavez for not fighting him again, it would've been embarrassing.
DLH V Trinidad (i still think it was one of DLH's best performances, i had it 117-111 and winning the final 3 rounds does not win you the fight. You learn a lesson though and that is don't take your foot off the peddle, you can land double the punches and still lose!
Hatton V Tszyu (Possibly the worst refereeing of a major fight that i have ever seen, Hatton had Tszyu wearing his balls as earrings that night and should've been DQ'd.)
Tszyu was also over confident and gave away far to many concessions thinking ahead to PBF.
Re: fights that pissed you off
De La Hoya-Trinidad
I just watched that the other day for the first time in couple of years and Oscar won that fight hands down. I don't even think it was close to a draw.
I also agree that the Judah-Mayweather fight was horseshit. Roger Mayweather came into the ring. DQ
anytime Bernard Hopkins fights makes me angry although I did enjoy the last fight win over Cloud.
Re: fights that pissed you off
In Jin Chi Vs Brodie 1
This shit right here was a straight up heist job like like in Ocena's 11, British edition, and you would have to have watched the entire fight to know what im talking about..
I understand the judges forgot to follow the script to score it for Brodie, but couldnt u have made it less obvious?
Re: fights that pissed you off
Mayorga vs. Mosley and Mayorga vs. Cotto hurt.
He was doing well mauling and roughhousing Mosley, headed to a close respectable distance loss or even draw on some cards and then BAM! He's KO'd in the last bit of the 12th.
Not as close of fight, but Mayorga was givin Cotto a good fight, good showing, then blows it again and gets KO'd in the 12th.
Sucked to watch.
Re: fights that pissed you off
Erik Morales vs. David Diaz. That fight was not even close. I had it 117-110 Morales and he lost because it was in Chicago. It was bullshit, and I remember only 1 person on here made a case for a draw, pretty much everyone had Erik making Mexican history. Robbing a legend of his legacy was shameful, and those judges want shooting.
I hate Joe Cortez. That guy is one of the worst referees ever. Case in point, Humberto Soto - Francisco Lorenzo I. That was one of the worst pieces of refereeing I've ever seen. Soto lands a clean knockdown, Cortez says he was shit while he was down and then walks around the ring pretty much asking every official outside the ring what call he should make, before botching the whole thing completely. He shouldn't have got paid for that fight, because he didn't do his job.
Sergio Martinez-Kermit Cintron. Sergio wins clean, Cintron and his team run around the ring after the referee claiming it was a headbutt, referee then says he didn't stop the fight, fight continues and it gets called a draw on the judges scorecards? So Sergio knocked him out, and clearly decisioned him and he still didn't win the fight. All kinds of bullshit gone on there.
Audley Harrison-Michael Sprott II. If Sprott doesn't sit on the ropes and stays clear for another minute, then not only does he win, but we don't ever get to see the horror that was Haye vs. Harrison.
Marco Antonio Barrera-Juan Manuel Marquez. I thought it was a good fight that Juan was winning, then bam...Marco lands a clean knockdown. Jay Nady doesn't jump in so MAB hits him again while he is down. If Nady is anywhere near the action, that doesn't happen. Rightful call to deduct a point, but he doesn't score the downdown. Ruined the fight because JMM coasted to victory, had the knockdown been called I think the fight would've been more competitive. (I'm glad JMM won because I was rooting for him, but I don't like stupid calls)
Re: fights that pissed you off
Chisora vs haye-
Fight was just getting interesting then chisora threw a ridiculous slap left him open to a punch. When he got up instead of holding he was flailing away with arms wide apart like a fool. If he trained hard like he did vs vitali and stuck to a plan instead of coming in fat we would have had a good fight here
Barrera vs khan
Headbutt in round 1 causes fight to be stopped but they gave the decision to khan. Wtfs that about. Same thing happend to barrera in his previous fight but they gave him the win
Pac vs Mosley
I know Shane was washed up but he usually always gives it a go. Even against canelo in his next fight he threw punches but in this fight he did nothing and it was embarrassing
Ward vs Kessler
Home town favourtism from start to finish and we thought Germany was supposed to be bad
Floyd vs castillo 1
Castillo won comfortably. Why didnt he get the decision. With hindsight its ok cuz castillo turned out to be an idiot which leads to ....
Corrales vs castillo 2
Castillo cheated at the weigh in. Corrales being the warrior he was went ahead but the mexican who didnt bother trying to make the weight had an unfair advantage which ruined the fight putting corrales' health at risk
Re: fights that pissed you off
Worst fight I can recall Johny Nelson V James Warring, my word Nelson may have landed
15 punches in 12 rounds the worst fight, I've ever seen in my life believe me.:vd:

There is no way Floyd will stop Saul ever. He may out box him but will not stop him. Canelo deserved the decision against Trout although it was close.

the canelo trout fight didnt piss me off or anything, but i did think the fairest result would have been a trout win, perhaps canelo sneaked a draw
i have only watched it the once mind
and i was completely expecting it, trout needed a knockout from round 1
