It didn't matter though, cuz' it was a close fight. Even if you think Ruslan won it is not a robbery that Herrera got the decision. And, if you think Herrera won it would not have been a robbery if Ruslan would have gotten it. To call robbery in a close fight is ridiculous. But, hopefully anybody who had Ruslan winning would not call this a robbery. That fight wasn't close. Calm down.

Yes indeed, you see Teddy's scorecard? WOW... Well put. WOW... I thought for the most part the rounds had a clear winner. so even though i had it a 7 to 5 victory for herrera its a close fight but he was the clear winner in my eyes

Ruslan vs Katsidis would be awesome. Katsidis would walk right through him.

ruslan isnt the siberian monster slugger that they make him out to be...he couldnt finish a guy with one eye?? good fight though... How about the guy with one eye wouldn't allow himself to be finished. Herrera showed great heart.

Close fight looks like the difference is what u like the harder shots or the more active fighter. I didn't score it to be honest but Herrera was doing most the work and doing nice work to the body.
