Robert Guerrero vs. Selcuk Aydin Saturday night fight/chat thread

[johnsebastianmiran]

I thought Guerrero even though I liked him in his former habitat. He really bit off more than he could chew but he did a great job of out boxing Aydin but Aydin was frustrated and got hit even when he went inside. I thought he had good stamina but he was also the bigger man. He may have hit harder but he couldn't really catch Mr. G. All in all an exciting fight, a real nail biter. The score was a tad bit wide but he won.

You don’t get points for activity in a 10 point must system. When I say activity I mean punches thrown. If you throw a 4 or 5 punch combination and only land one punch then that’s what you are credited for. On the other hand Aydins body work was unreal and he could have thrown his right hand from the parking lot and it would have connected. I know what I saw.

Now normally I don’t listen to the commentary during the fight but have made exception in the past when Al’s on. Tonight however was the last of such exception. Someone should have informed Aydin that it was an 8 round fight.

As a gentleman if any of you would like to card up and watch this fight again I’d be happy to post my card with a rd x rd explanation and you the same.

Just say when.

Aydin said he had double vision from around the 4th round on, weird, how do you fight with double vision.

Aydin had his moments in the fight, and gave Guerrero all he could handle, hurting him several times to the head and body. The thing is Aydin just wasn't busy enough and/or didn't let his hands go enough to win more than 4 or 5 rounds at most.

I had Guerrero winning either by 115-113 or 116-112.

I thought Guerrero fought well after a long layoff, and moving
up 2 weight divisions.

Indeed.

He was essentially anointed though with that feel good story and his wife and donor at ring side. I hate to be cynical but...

Give it up. No one else thinks Aydin won the fight, including Aydin and his team (per the interview).

Give what up? I really don't care if anyone on here thinks it. This is not the only boxing forum on the web. I was actually pulling for Robert because of his wife's issues and cant stand Aydin. That is irrelevant.

If you think he won fine. I don't and don't even think it was close. Its not like the wrong guy has ever won a fight before and like I said if you want to put your card up and explain how you gave each what rounds I'll gladly indulge. Don't expect me to simply agree because the majority in this thread think he won.

It's not just "the majority"; it's literally every single person on this thread besides you, every other forum I've checked, and every commentator I've read. Aydin himself said the judges were correct! This whole conspiracy theory/robbery characterization you've constructed and gone on and on about (despite "not caring") is just bizarre.

I've got to agree with you a bit here Inuit, I hope in future fights Showtime downplays the wife's battles with cancer, it's a touching story, but enough is enough.

I'd like to see Guerrero get some big paydays now, for him and his family.

You know Mars... I'm not sure I trust these interpreters 100%. I know the Spanish ones sometimes screw up the fighters responses, and something different comes out in English. Which is unfortunate, because we should know what the fighter is really saying, rather than a crude, sometimes incorrect interpretation by the translator. In this case, Aydin actually pointed to his eyes, but I just wonder if he really said he was seeing double from the 4th round on.

[Nameless]

Thsat was a pretty good bout, had it The Ghost 116-112 though I could see an argument for a 115-113. Lot of action, thrown punches, the way I love it!

Just from looking at Aydin's body language and the tone of his voice, he looked to be a bit pissed/upset during the post fight interview, about the decision not going his way. Maybe it was just disappointment.
Aydin is a tough SOB, I wouldn't mind seeing him again.
