Vanes Martirosyan vs. Erislandy Lara on HBO BAD

[Rantcatrat]

Thought it was a pretty blatant robbery even declaring it a draw.

Lara outboxed and heavily outlanded Martirosyan in nearly every round. In some cases 13-5 and 11-3, yet Harold and the HBO hype team STILL gave those rounds to Vanes...

Had it 7-2 for Lara, by scoring the 9th, but 6-3 would also be correct.

Pretty easy fight to score with one guy just following the southpaw around the ring, missing, trying rough house tactics and getting pot shotted all night.

I disagree with your score, but it is what it is. Many of the rounds didn't jump out to me as "LARA" or "VANES" rounds. Lara ran a lot; Vanes didn't land a ton. This fight in some ways reminded me of Dirrell vs. Froch. Dirrell - Lara, Froch-Martirosyan. What I find funny is that both these guys complain endlessly about wanting to face a big name in Canelo etc., yet turn in a fight that no one is very excited about.
