I aint trying to jump on any bandwagon or shit like that... but it was a travesty... I know there have been enough threads about it as it is, but not entitled like this.
If Diaz had won 115-113 on all of the cards I would of thought okay, could be considered a little controversial but I guess they might have found a few more rounds than most people which they gave Diaz the benefit of the doubt. However, this is still at a push, and Paulie deserved to win that fight more than Diaz, I had it 115-113 Paulie... even after having 2 bets on Diaz.
We gotta take this shit into consideration, imagine... you are a pro... or even amateur Boxer, you have had a few setbacks in the past... but you feel everything is on the upside now, and you are improving loads... its showing in your training, and you are developing a bigger hunger (or in Paulie's case, his hunger back)... you get a big fight, where you think you have a chance to prove yourself... and put on one of the best performances in your life... the only concern is judges robbing you... it was a fairly close fight still, but they score it 118-110, or if in amateur's a lopsided score unfair... it seems like they have ****ed you over big time... and never gave you a shot to win in the first place, in there minds pretty much you have already lost before the fight, unless a KO happens. I just wanna say, how would you feel in Paulie's position? You gotta kinda feel for him, cause they were ****ing him over and never gave him a chance. I aint trying to give you any soppy shit cause I don't wanna do that, but its still there... if it was happening to you you would be PISSED!
As I said, you could make a case for Diaz winning a close fight at a push... but it seemed like the judges weren't giving him a chance anyway... so what I wanna know is... that is there a way to make the fight a NC? And do you think it should be ruled a NC? Or even, just make a rematch happen... like Floyd vs Castillo people believe he lost the first fight, but he gave Castillo a rematch to sort it out once and for all...
What do you guys think?
I made a poll, multiple choice in case you are split between 2 choices.
Vote on the poll guys, multiple choice, if you don't think a NC would happen anyway, just vote it that way if you get what I mean?
I chose option 1 and 3, basically because... if they can make it an NC and make a rematch happen I think they should... but like people are saying, they wont make it and NC... so if they can't I just think they should have a rematch.
i was also wondering that as well if it could be reversed to a nc. after that fight i was so bothered. paulie clearly won the fight it was close but he clearly won. 115-113 in diaz favor i still think its the wrong descion but i could deal with it but every thing else is ridiculous rematch andywhere out of texas and paulie wins again in close fight. But diaz is not a draw anywhere else and either is paulie so i doubt it happens.
Hopefully he gets a rematch in a neutral site with neutral judges and puts on another great performance. With that said, Gale Van Hoy shouldn't be allowed to judge again.
Best case for Paulie is the outcry is enuf to warrant an immediate rematch in a different venue. Of course new judges would be assigned. But they ain't gonna change the decision.
The 118-110 judge should be suspended/fired/fined
I thought Diaz ever so slightly deserved the nod personally. I know I'm in the minority. But I think it was too close to warrant out and out robbery cries. That one judge ****ed up big time, but the ultimate result, in MY opinion, was acceptable
