The Nate decision could be argueable but Sergio Martinez got robbed big time.

Bullshit, Funeka did not get robbed, you all just score whatever the hbo guys say...in the stretch of Funeka rounds that Letterman gave him Nate won I think the 6th or 7th, and that would have gave him the fight on lettermans card. You cant call close fights like that robberies, make you look like a crybaby.

Martinez was robbed big time!
I thought Campbell just edged Funeka!
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
Funeka did not get robbed. Getting dropped in the championship rounds and struggling to the end ain't exactly the best way to win the titles
Martinnez got screwed not just by the decision but by how the whole fight went...he cuts cintron gets ruled a headbutt, cintron decides to get punched in the back of the head martinez gets a point deducted, just bogus.
Along the lines of KillerSheep here
Martinez robbed of a TKO.Cintron actually willingly took a knee after getting cracked and tried to polatic the ref
Martinez robbed of a point
Martinez robbed of a deserved descision...just bent over by the judges,pants around ankles and not a thing he could do about it.
The public robbed because we're expected to buy that Cintron is still viable...and willing to lay it all out there.He'll get another huge fight.
Campbell vs. Funeka no robbery.Had 114-112 Nate with Funeka putting out a quality effort,sweeping middle rounds and Nate headed to 140.Like Campbell alot but I see the writing on the wall,Hope he goes out on top.
Campbell stopped fighting after the first knockdown and let Funeka into the fight. He didn't do anything right but he was in the fight and I thought it was pretty close, close enough for him to lose or win but a draw? Martinez was robbed clearly of a K.O. even if by the smallest margin Cintron made it up before ten, the referee waved his hands and then realized his so called error after Martinez was in mindset on his way home. I can just visualize the judges and the referee going back to their hotel rooms guided by a seeing eye dog.
Martinez was clearly robbed. Funeka was a far closer call, it was a brave effort and a draw would have been okay with me. The judging was off in both fights. As usual.![]()
But for all his heart i just dont believe nate has the legs for it anymore.
Showed in spurts that when he can turn on he is in a different league to guys like funeka.
But you cant completely shut off for 6-7 successive rounds, do nothing other than get outworked and hope to take a decision. I have no qualms with those that scored it for nate as has already been mentioned if you get knocked down twice in a fight and it goes to the scorecards you have to expect the worst.
But where martinez/cintron is concerned....daylight robbery and if the boxing world gets its knickers in a twist over valuev/holyfield, surely this decision deserves to be analysed?
one dangerous horrible bloke
Martinez got robbed. But not Campbell.
