I had it 6-5-1 for Martinez. 119 is fucking absurd. And Steward should be fucking chastised for questioning Martinez heart and toughness.

Are you fucking serious? That was one of the best fights of the year.Quote:

Great fight to watch. Needed to be real close or even a draw I coulda lived with. 119 is retarded but nothing surprises me any more.
Miles you drunk fella?
Hugg Fest?
That was 1 of the best fights of the year.
Contender for FOTY for me...
sergio needs to just forget about boxing and show up to the ring with a damn pistol and just start lettin off shots . That's damn near the only way poor dude is gonna ever win a fight. I welcome you and funeka to America. Shit works funny round here sometimes. Should probably watch your luggage while you're here too. Ask Arthur Abraham about that
I think it was a great fight, both guys fighting to the brink of exhaustion. Don't really know what more you could want from a fight.Quote:

I thought Martinez won...
It was a close fight BUT Martinez landed the harder cleaner shots.
I felt he dictated the fight for the most part.
Judge Pierre Bitch-Noise is a disgrace....

115-113 or something similar to that for either guy is acceptable, but 119-111 is just retarded. Loved the fight, hope they do it again, and due to fairness maybe do it in madrid spain this go round, I know not likely to happen but still. Martinez I think just became my favorite fighter with this fight and his post fight interview, as for steward talking "smack" about his heart or toughness, what the f*** I think martinez is as tough and determined as they come. Props to Paul to for fighting the way he did, cause a great fight takes two, Amazing fight , one of the few fights where I think a draw would have actually been the correct decision.
He's been the victim of disputed decisions twice in America. Both times losing to a fighter promoted by an American company I believe.Quote:

I had it 7-5 Martinez, and I completely agree with you about Steward, him saying that was bull$hit.Quote:

Plus Martinez had the cleaner and more effective punches.
Was that judge giving Williams points for punches missed? :dontknow:
Haha, only 1:30pm here, so no alcohol....;D
The fight was decent enough, but I found the middle rounds a bit wearing. The referee had to break them up too much for my liking. A little too stop/start/stop/start for me. Yeah, my initial post was a bit strong. Definitely not my fight of the year, but I liked it enough to want to see them do it again.
