Maidana - Morales Fight Thread

[Kev]

Morales turned in one hell of a performance. Very surprising and impressive. He WON THE FIGHT !

But once again, the judges, in their infinite wisdom screwed him.

A draw woulda been givin Maidana something, but I coulda swallowed a draw.

But a 116-112 victory for Maidana !?

Morales landed the much more accurate effective punches. He lost the last two rounds, but before that he had already won 7 rounds.

I don't think 116-112 is outside the realms of credibility.

I think the majority would concede Morales lost round 1,2,11 and 12. If they splitthe rest, that would be 116-112.

It's not impossible.

I had it a very close fight, but Maidana deserved the nod imo and 116-112 although a bit wide is hardly a corrupt score.

Bilbo, HAROLD LEDDERMAN HAD IT A DRAW.

LEDDERMAN.

The man scores for the house fighter EVERY SINGLE TIME. And he had it a fucking draw. So what does that tell you ?

Also I had the 2nd round for Morales. Morales won the fihgt and at worst got a draw, even on Harold's scorecard.

I don't have a problem with his score either. It was a close fight and many rounds might have gone either way.

It's a subjective sport and we all wanted Morales to win.

Had Morales got the nod 116-112 probably nobody would have cried robbery because he was the sentimental favourite.

But if u lose the first two, and last two rounds, it's going to be hard to win the fight, and I think Morales did lose those so 116-112 isn't impossible.

I'm not saying it's my score, it's just not a robbery.

Like I said I gave the 2nd to Morales, and he won 7 rounds in my book.

Love to play the Devil's advocate don't ya, you cheeky bastard.

I had Maidana ahead by one round but couldn't call the 7th so I scored it even. At least one of those rounds looked really bad for Morales at the start but Maidana wasn't landing clean. I'd have to watch it again, but now I'm wondering what the compubox stats are.

I just think people are too quick to cry robbery. Nobody can convince me that giving rounds 1,2,11 and 12 to Maidana would be corrupt. You may give Morales the second but you can't argue if someone gave it to Maidana.

I'm just saying, you start strong and finish strong you are likely to win the fight.

It was a great fight however and personally I would accept scores up to 116-112 either way. The rounds were close, it was a real cut and thrust fight.

And I'm no devil's advocate, I just happen to be right, and like to tell you all
