I'm completely sober now but I haven't been able to force myself to watch that crapfest again to see if my judgment was correct. Ironically, I'd probably need to get drunk enough to impair my judgment to ever watch it through again.

Ortiz threw it away, clearly could've won it. It should be the end of him being mentioned as a top junior welterweight, he just don't have it hahahahaha a harris troll. get out of here troll.

Meh, I have decent eyesight and watched it in HD on my big screen. I could see it fine, and so could the ringside judges. How dare you not agree with me when I am drunk and belligerent.

No. Ortiz did nothing for 5 rounds, and I had him losing 2 close rounds. 7-3 rounds for Peterson minus 2 points for a 10-7 rounds equates to a 95-93 win for Peterson. I have the name of a good ophthalmologist for you.

Even if he did lose five rounds, it's a ten-rounder with a 10/7 round for him...Does that sound right to you? No. Ortiz did nothing for 5 rounds, and I had him losing 2 close rounds. 7-3 rounds for Peterson minus 2 points for a 10-7 rounds equates to a 95-93 win for Peterson.

Ortiz did nothing for about 5 rounds of the fight. Absolutely nothing. Just because Harold Lederman giftwraps empty rounds for a fighter doesn't mean he actually won them. Even if he did lose five rounds, it's a ten-rounder with a 10/7 round for him...Does that sound right to you?

Very clear robbery. Running doesn't matter if you're winning more rounds. Boxing scores are not anti-running if you out land and win rounds. Ortiz did nothing for about 5 rounds of the fight.

E-mail them for what? I thought Ortiz won a close decision but it wasn't a robbery. Ortiz was running away too much so like Teddy Atlas said he lost the right to complain. The dude was eyeballing the clock on the screen to see how much longer he had to run.

Thanks. I'll e-mail them and thank them for legitimate scoring in a close fight (if they really have any influence in that).
