That fight was actually Martinez's third gift in a row, if you know how to actually score a fight. But I guess it depends on what you prefer: the guy actually landing clean, solid punches, or the sloth that plods forward and absorbs all of it to the best of his ability.

That's not to say the UK is much better, but it is, if only slightly.

Originally posted by Humean View PostEvery fighter who gets a decision that most fans disagree with is a paper champion? There sure as hell have been many paper champions in history then. Beltran deserved the decision in my view but it was a close fight, the reaction against it has been a bit ridiculous. Hopefully Burns will recover and Beltran gets a rematch.
As to the British WBO champions, you mean guys like Calzaghe, Benn, Eubank, and Naseem Hamed? if you think any of those were weak champions then your opinion is of zero value to any reasonable person.
The credibility of the WBO is hardly low, look at the names of some of the current WBO champs, Estrada, Rigondeaux, Marquez, Bradley, Quillin, Kovalev, Huck, Wlad Klitschko, not especially weak is it?
I never said anything was weak.. close or not it was obvious to most peoples eyes that Beltran deserved that win so yeah that makes Burns a paper champion and there has been many paper champions indeed hence the phrase "paper champion" even existing
Basically the reason I'm calling him a paper champion now is because he is holding a belt that isn't rightfully his in the eyes of the people
