Fernando Montiel Loss

[Spicoli]

from the sound of it they're still trying to screw Valdez, its been ruled a technical draw again. I never liked Montiel anyway

How exactly are they screwing him? If anything Valdez should of been penalized. He was fighting dirty the whole fight. The doctor stopped the fight. Montiel was asking for one more round.

Montiel showed a lack of heart & was helped up by the ref. If you had seen a British or US fighter doing that VD, you would of been calling him a pussy & a biitch. I can't say I was a big fan, but he was one of my favoured fighters in the lower weight-classes.

The cut came from a punch, it should be a TKO. If he'd got caught by a headbutt or cut along the ropes, I'd fully support Montiel, but the fact is he got hit with a punch, panicked over the blood & when he & his corner realized that he was going to lose they pulled him out rather than risk it for a win. He did what Ortiz did, only difference is he got away without a loss. Montiel may be in a different class, but boxing is about everyone having a shot. Valdez took his & has been robbed of the reward.

Finally had a chance to see it,thanks for the hook up Ouma.

Jaz bud,I really saw no lack of heart there man and certainly no panicked fighter searching for an exit.Any questions about Montiels heart can be most recently answered with a viewing of his under the radar brutal back and forth scrap with another lanky southpaw Melendez late last year.Hurt badly,cut up,swollen and and just plain mashed up, Montiel ignored D and KO'd legit hitter Montiel.From what I saw the man said next to nothing between rounds and was thoughly checked over,the cut was a frigging v shape but he continued to fight on.

I dont speak spanish but did see a hard jab land prior to 1st KD,only view was from behind at about 2:14 (?) and looks like the ref had his head in his arse.No ruling one way or the other.Also think he was shite after Montiel was dropped,very indesicive and bad time to check a cut.Bad officials,shady taste of favoritism but I didn't see Fernando 'looking' for a life line.Ortiz melted down,physically and mentally and opted out as a raw inexperienced prospect in his first big fire fight.There were some crappy circumstances sat night but it was not Montiels first venture into the hurt buisness.
