Re: Golden Boy Promotion, a new manipulator in boxing
How can you call round 4 of that fight even? Paez got knocked down. It was a draw, no two ways about it.
Also, I thought Guzman definately beat Barrios. I like Barrios' heart but Guzman was too slick and landed too many good punches.
Fans didn't buy this even because Oscar's face was on it. Questionable judging notwithstanding, it was the best top to bottom card in a while.
Re: Golden Boy Promotion, a new manipulator in boxing
Haha! I am always amused when I read these threads started by Oscar haters....and that is what you are Spade....an Oscar hater. So just be honest and say "I don't like Oscar"...instead of some non sense about how he is ripping you off. You lost all credibility when you wrote that you thought Barrios won! Haha! Don't hate on the man for being a top boxer, promoter, and succesful guy. It was a top notch card and I think he is doing good for boxing.

IF you belong to this organization, you would never lose when it comes to decision if if it not close and obvious robbery.
This is bad for boxing
First Barrera-Juarez I was decided a draw and later reversed in favor of Barrera.........Shame
Then Campos was robbed yesterday, Paez is a golden boy's pet
Then the biggest robbery
Barrios..............punching non-stop, Guzman doesn't wan't to fight anymore always ended up in the corner covering, running, showboating
Ended up a winner
F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
???????? not making sense......

The last rd. I saw it this way Paez was wining the rd. IMO clearly Campos was coming forward and throwing wildly not connecting. So he was loosing the rd. untill he dropped Paez which evened out the rd. to 9-9.
Thats how I saw it at least.
Re: Golden Boy Promotion, a new manipulator in boxing
manipulating what? I was going for Barrios and I felt that Guzman won, he would land completely solid shots that would thud when he connected, it was close but i thought Guzman won, he landed bigger flurries and had Barrios off balance for much of the fight, and in the later rounds although both were tired, Guzman still threw punches with power and he was balanced throughout the entire fight, Barrios by the end of the night was pushing his punches and was almost tripping over his own two feet, i thought that DLH did a good job on the card, he can only control who fights, and in what order, and which fights will be televised, he can't control the opinions of the judges or their scores, or how the fighters fight, i actually liked the Barrera/Juarez II fight, not cause of the action, but because we were given the chance to what a masterful boxing lesson by a man that is supposed to be all washed up and ready to be put down
