*official Diaz Vs. Malignaggi Thread*

[the wiz]

I've watched this fight 3 times now. I can't see how Paulie didn not win worst case 8 rounds to 4. He clearly outboxed him in this fight. This was a disgrace. We've seen worse decisions than this but this is yet again another black eye for boxing

The result of the fight was a disgrace to the State of Texas and to Boxing. Objectivity should be a Judge's standard. The TRUE Champion left the ring beltless. I sent email to the Texas Licensing Board regarding the blatant scoring of the fight. Doubt it will do any good, as money talks in Texas. Hope Mr. Diaz enjoys the HOLLOW victory. Any REAL man would immediately request a re-match under such controversary. Oh, but someone's Mamma was at ringside pulling antics for the big screen for the judges to see... Does some type of Boxing Commission investigate bank accounts, new properties, jewerly, etc. of boxing officials? On behalf of The Great State of Texas, we, as objective viewers of the 08/22/09 fight, we apologize to you, Mr. Malignaggi for having to experience Texas Politics. We are not all bad here.

Um, who is this addressed to?

This is really the kind of bad dec. which gives black eye to boxing.

I know, we had a tons of them in the past, but nowadays I think we're facing a tough competition from the MMA scene. at least for the next generation of viewers and it's always hard to keep interest in a sport where you see "corrupted" referees.

just watched the fight, and the judge who called it 118-110 is totally incompetent and knows nothing about boxing. he should be banned from scoring a fight.

Would appreciate a link off somebody as boxing is MIA from UK tv schedules

Previous post indicated Mr. Diaz should request, no, demand, a re-match, for being awarded a belt under such questionable circumstances. It was a HOLLOW victory and the TRUE CHAMPION of the night, without a doubt, around the World, was Mr. Malignaggi. It has to do with a moral compass and the heart of a true champion. Have watched the bout twice today and there was no doubt Mr. Malignaggi was the victor. I felt strongly enough to join this forum to protest the match, which is something I never imagined doing in the past. If it's enough of a question for someone like me, the result must be frustrating for someone who has far more expertise than I do with the Sport of Boxing. I am a middle-aged woman with responsibilities far more important than posting here, but saw the miscarriage of justice first hand, for myself. This sport has been tarnished because of Texas judging, therefore, an embarassment to Texans. Mr. Malignaggi deserved more respect, IMHO. A re-match can take place in a neutral place, without Texas judges. But something like that won't happen unless it's an advantage for the "GB", who was also very disappointing... It is my hope that Mr. Malignaggi laughs all of the way to the bank as a result of this robbery in the ring. My suggestion to him...keep your right peppering a bit more, tiger. It is also my suggestion to all boxing commissions around the World to not allow the Family members of a competitor in the ring within 100 feet of the ring or judges, sitting, unless they are team members going into the ring during breaks. Keep it clean.

I still say the best part of the night was watching ishe still throw almost nothing rocky juarez style but still find it in him to call Jacobs a bitch with bible verses tatted on his neck and stitched to the back if his shorts. Ha ha he calls the guy a bitch then covers up like one not to get hit the whole fight......comedy!!!
