sergio martinez and Ali Funeka both got robbed last night!!!

[BoomBoom]

Funeka definately doesnt have a glass chin. He showed he can recover from a punch pretty well even after being knocked down. Nate was the bigger, stronger man. I give Funeka credit for even going through with the fight, let alone nearly winning it. I had it a draw by the way.

Martinez definately got the shaft..Cintron looked very lethargic...Had the Nate/Funeka fight a draw. After the knockdown Nate never changed anything up

I couldn't finish watching the Martinez fight, it was boring so I ffwded through it. But caught the knockdown cause I thought the fight was over then saw them fighting again? Seemed like b.s.

However, watched all of Nate and Ali. Although I agree it was a close fight it's nearly impossible for me to award a fight to someone who was almost out twice in the fight. Funeka outworked Campbell but clearly received more damage. Nate punched himself out, and wasn't busy enough in the middle rounds but he landed cleaner harder shots. If you take away the knockdowns you could call this one a robbery, but Funeka was nearly out for 5 minutes of that fight.

Hats off to Funeka for being a warrior, but there was no robbery, he got beat up.

No way was the Funeka-Campbell fight a robbery, it was one of those close fights that could just about have gone either way & most people had it either a draw or 114-112 for Nate.

The Martinez-Cintron fight was stupid though, I gave Cintron at most 3 rounds.

This is my similar feeling. I thought the knockdowns are what really pulled Nate through. Nate was sure the more busted up of the two.
Funeka is a tall lanky fighter. I thought it was a pretty exciting fight and Lennox didn't annoy me as much as usual. Lederman was scoring pretty well too (must have heard everyones criticism).

Case #1
Martinez got triple robbed last night

1) It looked to me that the ref waved off the fight in the 7th
Robbery 1......Martinez TKO victory

2) 12th round Cintron was turning his head down which caused the placement of Martinez's shots
Robbery 2......Point deduction

3) Ultimately this was caused by item number two here. 2 judges had it 6 rounds a piece (no idea how they had that, in my estimation this was a very easy fight to score 8 rounds clearly went to Martinez, 2 rounds to Cintron, the first 2 rounds were debateable and could have gone either way because neither guy did anything.)
Robbery 3......Scoring was horrendous.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Case #2 Funeka, I disagree that this was a robbery, There are legitimate arguments depending on how you are scoring a fight to give it to either man or even a draw, just because it was a little different than yours doesn't mean it's a robbery.

I'm OK with Nate getting the decision, and as he said Funeka's day will come.

Robbery point # 4) Cintron got 2:30 to recover his whits after the KD.

I hope Cintron fights someone with a vicious upper cut next. Someone could probably just hold their fist down low for him to slam his face into!

I agree with this post. Martinez was completely robbed. The Campbell-Funeka fight was close. I had it a draw or Nate by a point.
