Outrageous Scoring: Political or Poor Judgement?

118-110 is obviously steep but I have no problems seeing how they could come up with 116-112, I mean I had it 7-5 Juan and I was listening to Max Kellerman slobber all over Paulie from round 1 on. Sitting in the crowd, with them exploding every time Juan landed, with Juan being the one landing the more eye catching power shots, with him being the one moving Paulie and seemingly affecting him with his shots, and with him pushing the fight its really no surprise. In fact I suspect most of us would have had it 8-4 if we were sitting in the arena.

Yeah I agree Spicoli, there is no accountability right now. A judge could be sleep in and fill out the scorecard at the end of the fight, turn it in, and get away with it. No questions asked by anyone but the fans.

Lyle, I agree that the deck was stacked against him, but he also needs to realize that the outcome wasnt what was messed up, it was the scores. You could make a case for Paulie winning, but you could for Diaz too.

Ouma, another thing to that I think made Juan look bad was the cut and blood factor. Some of the rounds he won, he didnt get credit for by some people who had Paulie winning because he looked like a beaten man. But, by no means did Paulie decisively win imo. A draw or 115-113 either way would be fine though. As I said in the other thread, Raul Caiz was fair and really doesnt deserve the bashing hes getting. At least not for this one.

We clearly need more Teddy's....now THIS was an out right robbery!You can almost here the announcers disbelief as he reads the second score.One thing they should also do is introduce each Judge on camera as they do the refs,put a face on them.I believe they do this over seas but you rarely see it here.

In Denmark Mogens Palle had his own judges and time and time again the away fighters where robbed, the crow often buhed when the home kid won, the receipy was simple, get a fighter a perfert record something like 30-0 then aim at a titlefight
