Paul Williams v. Sergio Martinez

[CFH]

I had it 6-5-1 for Martinez. 119 is fucking absurd. And Steward should be fucking chastised for questioning Martinez heart and toughness.

[CFH]

What kind of crack is that one judge smoking? WTF 119-110!!!

I had Martinez winning actually.

I thought Williams did enough, but quite a close fight. That final scorecard is insane. How on earth do you get such disparities in the scoring? It seems every week we find a new judge freshly graduated from the school of mentalism.

The first few rounds were really fun, but it became a bit of a stinky hugfest as the rounds wore on. I prefered Williams output, over the more sporadic flashy punches of Martinez.

Are you fucking serious? That was one of the best fights of the year.

[Youngblood]

Great fight to watch. Needed to be real close or even a draw I coulda lived with. 119 is retarded but nothing surprises me any more.

[CutMeMick]

Miles you drunk fella?

Hugg Fest?
That was 1 of the best fights of the year.
Contender for FOTY for me...

sergio needs to just forget about boxing and show up to the ring with a damn pistol and just start lettin off shots . That's damn near the only way poor dude is gonna ever win a fight. I welcome you and funeka to America. Shit works funny round here sometimes. Should probably watch your luggage while you're here too. Ask Arthur Abraham about that

I think it was a great fight, both guys fighting to the brink of exhaustion. Don't really know what more you could want from a fight.

I thought Martinez won...

It was a close fight BUT Martinez landed the harder cleaner shots.
I felt he dictated the fight for the most part.

Judge Pierre Bitch-Noise is a disgrace....

For real Mar, he might as well just go strapped and fire a couple of rounds...

My sentiments exactly.

what the fuck does funeka have to do with decisions in america?

[armin]

115-113 or something similar to that for either guy is acceptable, but 119-111 is just retarded. Loved the fight, hope they do it again, and due to fairness maybe do it in madrid spain this go round, I know not likely to happen but still. Martinez I think just became my favorite fighter with this fight and his post fight interview, as for steward talking "smack" about his heart or toughness, what the f*** I think martinez is as tough and determined as they come. Props to Paul to for fighting the way he did, cause a great fight takes two, Amazing fight , one of the few fights where I think a draw would have actually been the correct decision.

He's been the victim of disputed decisions twice in America. Both times losing to a fighter promoted by an American company I believe.

I think Mar is just using Funeka as reference...

Due to Funeak being robbed vs. Guzman.

I had it 7-5 Martinez, and I completely agree with you about Steward, him saying that was bull$hit.

How that one judge could only give Martinez 1 round with these numbers is absurd.

Total Punches

Williams - landed 299 out of 978 for 31%

Total Jabs

Martinez - landed 71 out of 192 for 37%

Total Power Punches

Williams - landed 208 out of 631 for 33%
Martinez - landed 183 out of 446 for 41%

Plus Martinez had the cleaner and more effective punches.

Was that judge giving Williams points for punches missed?

[Gandalf]

Haha, only 1:30pm here, so no alcohol....

The fight was decent enough, but I found the middle rounds a bit wearing. The referee had to break them up too much for my liking. A little too stop/start/stop/start for me. Yeah, my initial post was a bit strong. Definitely not my fight of the year, but I liked it enough to want to see them do it again.
