Forbes was clearly robbed. Even if Hopkins did deserve to win which he didnt, them scores were just unacceptable.
Penalosa deserved a few more rounds in my opinion than he got. I still think he clearly lost though, not that bad this one.
Then I found the Barrera-Marquez score ridiculous. I wasnt sure who was going to win, I could have seen it a few points either way. I scored it 7 rounds to 5 for Barrera and the knockdown was clearly a legit knockdown. Barrera then stood there waiting for the referree to come between them and when it didnt happen after he clearly waited he threw another punch. I understand he hit him when he was down and im not trying to justify it but im pointing out what most likely was the situation in Barrera's point of view. Close fight, great fight, I think Barrera deserved it.
The bad refereeing and judging ruined this PPV for me.
