Quartey vs Jose Luis Lopez who won? i thought Quartey was extremely lucky to get the decision, infact i thought Lopez won 7 rounds and he had a KD.
I watched the fight very closely and kept my eye out for whether punches were landing or missing, who was more active over the coarse of the 3min, who was connecting with the better shots, and all i can say is............Quartey's jab was busy throughout the fight but not always landing and a lot of the time Lopez was answering Quartey's attacks back, i guess you could give subliminal points for the fact Quartey was getting off first but if you are going to do that you could Lopez subliminal points for being the aggressor and forcing the fight.
Lopez dropped Quartey twice in the fight but the first KD he lost the round imo, so he only get a 10/9 round from me. However the second KD he won the round quite clearly, so 10/8.
I can understand people who scored it for Quartey because it was an extremely difficult fight to score and if you were looking at Quartey's activity you could say he did more work over the 3min rounds, but when you do more work with the jab and its not always landing, it does not count for much, and imo the round can be turned up on its head by a few good hard clean shot from the opponent. Jabbing over a round puts you up but not by a lot.
