    First of all, Bilbo you are off your rocker. That elevator isn't going all the way to the top.

    Second, I went back and watched the first four rounds the next day. Pretty rubbish fight from start to finish.

    Third, I don't think this hurt Lara's stock. Everyone knows who the winner of this fight was. And after the Molina fight, he must be considered a very dangerous opponent.
    My only fear is he is now high risk/low reward.

    Fourth, no reason to watch this fight at all if Antillion/Rios would have gone the distance! What a fight!!
    Williams looked like a sloppy unmotivated fighter to me.

    Fifth, and tied into Fourth: Why do these networks have a pissing match about having the same starting times whenever most people subscribe to both?? And its not like I am going to cancel one or subscribe to the other because of the starting times of fights. Both networks are doing me disservice by these childish scheduling games.

    If you're already paying for both HBO and SHO, just pony up the extra $5/month for DVR service and record one or both fights. Problem solved.

    Here is my analysis/opinion of each round for what I saw (I have watched it twice).

    Clear Lara rounds - 1,3,7,9,11 - so 5 rounds
    Clear Williams rounds - 4,5,10 - so 3 rounds
    Close rounds where I can see an argument for either - 2,6,8,12 - so 4 rounds

    If you score all 4 closeish/pick em rounds to Williams you can have him winning the fight. As he was the one throwing a ton of punches I can see how the decision happened the way it did (in terms of the outcome; the 116-114 card is wrong). It is cheeky to score all the close rounds to 1 fighter but still there it is, I cant say its a robbery cos of that fact. The closer rounds were the old argument of clean punches vs workrate.

    1st viewing I had it 115-113 Lara and 2nd viewing 116-112 Lara (I scored the 8th round differently is all the difference was).

    I think Williams was very lucky to get the decision but ive seen much worse. I think the commentary was extremely bias. Every shot Lara lands was made a big deal of but Williams did a lot of work when Lara took time off and did things like land a bunch of body shots up close and they didnt say anything about it etc.

    Because i do not want any more technology than I have to have. My remote already has a thousand little buttons on it.

    Judges scorecards are on fightnews. 2 of your clear Lara rounds: Round 3- 2 judges scored for PW; round 11-2 judges scored for PW. The same judges each time.
