The judges weren't scoring any jabs/pitty pat shots. They were effective since he kept donaire off him. So I counted it. I had it even at 5/5 going into the 10 then after tooth bust. OVER.
I had him winning 5 rounds or so, it was a real close fight. Pretty impressive for a guy with limited coordination. If he were a bit more coordinated he could've won easily.
I thought he won rounds 2,3,7,8,9 and 10. I had him leading by one point going into the 11th round.
I guess that cracked tooth messed him up.
Donaire just took over in the 11th and started jabbing and being aggressive....he took the last 2 rounds like a champion.
I thought Math clearly won 3, 8, and 9 for sure. I was being a bit generous with giving him a fourth round (forgot which round that was). I really wasn't impressed with Math's pitty pat jabs.
I agree that those were definitely his rounds, and I could see 2 going his way certainly. I gave Mathebusa 4 rounds, with 5 the most I would have given him. He fought well, but Donaire's shots were so much harder.
I gave him 6. I felt Donaire was busy trying to load up on his shots, while Mathebula was landing scoring shots and stealing rounds.
Due to the knockdown I had Donaire 114-113, although a few were close and upon rewatching it's possible I could end up scoring it 115-112 Donaire.
My thoughts exactly.

I gave him 5 rounds, fight was really very close, but I thought he won only 1 round clearly (9-th) and judges obviously gave Donaire every benefit of a doubt.
but still not the same..........
pac clottey was a blow out.
donaire mathebula was close......donaire barely won by 1 or 2 rounds (he almost lost)
his face looked worse because he was hit with a lot of shots in this fight...........
So you admit you where wrong about the fight?
5 rds ..........was a close fight. People saying that Donaire won 11 rounds are crazy, get off that smoke, you can't handle it obviously. Dude's face told the story, don't kid yourself.
Donaire's face gets easily marked up, and don't let it be your basis of the fight

That was one of the most clumsiest fighters I have ever seen. Even then I had him winning 5-6 rounds. Donaire is in love with his left hook and when he misses he is wide open to get hit cleanly. If he does that against a top 122 fighter he could be in serious trouble. What is up with these leg issues?? Him and Pacquiao say the same thing.
Not many. I guess you can give him some off ring generalship but dude was garbage. Horrible footwork, no power at all and wide hooks. After he got dropped he forgot he had a right hand.
