Winky Robbed Again

[Sin City]

Yeah he just didn't belong at that weight. You could see how much harder the shots Nard was landing were, it wasn't really that close.

I thought Wink was busy enough to keep the fight close, but he clearly lost. All I know is I expected this fight to suck balls and go the distance: I sadly pat myself on the back for that.

I picked Wink to win a clear cut decision but I was wrong.

I am gonna watch this fight again tomorrow when im not bussing it and can get a better picture then what I got from a internet live feed.. Then I'll make my mind completely up but from what I saw today.. it just reminded me even more of why I dont like Bernard and maybe I might not have scored a round right but I clearly had Winky winning 6 rounds.. and thats what I know.

Me 2. I had the fight a draw though but I am not complaining. Hopkins took the championship rounds.

Coming To HOLD"
Hopkins Holds His Way To Victory In Possibly The Worst PPV Fight In History With Even Worse Scores
Bernard Hopkins (now 48-4-1, 32 KO's) managed to escape a warning for holding nearly every round to win a oddly wide unanimous decision that looked to have been a draw at best. From their first press conference, we knew what we were going to get. A lackluster fight consisting of more holding and warnings than actual exchanges. That's exactly what ensued. This fight had more holding than a UFC match, and Evander Holyfield's PPV with Lou Savarese had 10 times more action. Even Mayweather vs. DeLaHoya was more entertaining.

In round 1, Wright staggered Hopkins with the right hand.

In round 2, the holding began.

In round 3, a headbutt opened up a cut on Wrights left eye. A low blow followed from Hopkins at the end of the round.

In round 4, Winky landed a big left on Hopkins to win the round.

In round 5, clinching from Hopkins while Wright was trying to work.

In round 7, the booing began as the two fighters hugged in the center of the ring.

In round 8, referee Robert Byrd said he was 1 warning away from deducting a point from Hopkins for holding.

In round 9, more warnings from Byrd followed.

In round 10, more booing ensued, followed by more holding.

In round 11, more holding. Commentators asked themselves "Who's winning?".

In round 12, Hopkins managed to finally give a little more than 10% to win a round decisively, but with more holding.

Final scores were lopsidedly towards Hopkins in an apparently even fight at 116-112, 117-111 and 117-111. Two judges only gave Wright 3 rounds in a fight Pound4Pound scored 114-114, a draw.

Was the fight really that bad? Mayweather-DLH was better?

2 approx. equal fighters fighting who do u go with??? how about the larger dirty fighter... i was right... whoopty

[Sweet Pea 50]

Robbed? I don't think so. Winky didn't do enough to win the fight. Did he lose 117-111? I don't think so. But my definition of robbed is what happened to Roy Jones in the 88 Olympics. What happened to Pea against Chavez. I thought the fight was closer then what the judges saw it tonight, but Hopkins landed the more effective shots. And in a clinch fest like this, thats what gets you the nod in my mind.

I thought De La Hoya v Mayweather was better.

dirty fight, hugging like he was his momma
I still can't understand the score

Winky wasnt robbed.. Hopkins won the fight... sure not in exciting fashion, but did what it took to win.

[McNulty]

Smarten UP!

That was some real dirty ****, he kept trying to head but and fight dirty.. I am no fan of either fighter but I felt Winky deserved this. That was some straight up bull****!!

Winky was leading in alot and saw no intentional HB's from Bhop. Did Bhop HB Tarver? We know there was a HB in WW.JT...whos HB'ing I wonder.

I had the cards a little closer...8-4...but cleary Bhop winning.

Anyone know how Dan Rafael had the fight?How about Max Kellerman?

I like Bernard, and I even agree with you. I had it a draw! Winky deserves his name mentioned with all the great fighters of this time period.
