HBO: Martinez vs Murray, Arreola vs Stiverne.... Saturday night fight thread

[ryanman]

Murray says "He won fair and square"....cant fight for a man who wont fight for himself

Wow.

He said he didn't do enough to win "in Argentina". I think he's looking to the future and not wanting to poison the water with HBO more than anything else.

I agree, in a champs home country you need to destroy the champ to win

Why though? That logic is absurd and it not found in any other sport.

It's not? Never heard of home field advantage? And we know boxing is the worst offender

Ok, if you saying it DOES happen, then I agree, if you are saying that it SHOULD happen, then that is what's absurd.

With all due respect folks, it was a close fight. I'm seeing that many people scored the 12th for Murray, and yet Murray admitted he got tagged (suggesting he was a little buzzed) in the 12th. I had it 114-113 for Martinez, and could certainly see the fight for Murray, but this wasn't a robbery by any stretch.

Getting tagged once in 3 minutes does not win the round for the other guy,

Lol never said it should, just that it does. Just like in football and basketball. Refs giving calls to teams or certain players. Like Jordan.
