Learn the diff. between a Robbery and a Close fight

I tried to stay awake to watch it but fell asleep...
Was it a good fight with plenty of action?
Worth the download?
Or just mediocre?
I'm not a big fan of Paulie but I do enjoy a good fight.

It was a pretty good fight. Paulie had to clinch more than usual and was in some trouble in the 7th round after some good shots by Herman but I thought it was entertaining. Paulie boxes but usually stays right in front of Herman without running.

Roy Jones robbery in the olympics>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Floyd's.



That being said I totally agree with Brockton. People continuously call a close decision a robbery. You could have seen it another way but it's understandable if the fight went one way or another when many of the rounds were close.

This fight is much like the Hagler-Leonard fight. It depends how you score fights. Do you score for aggression and harder hitting, or movement and more weaker hits?
I thought Paulie was more hurt and Herman did more damage to him, but Paulie won more rounds. He won the fight to me.

cool lets see your score card then

I agree with this thread, People scream blue murder if the outcome doesnt favour their favourite fighter but if its the other way round they would claim the fight wasnt even close.

Roy jones jr's olympic "Lost" has to go down as the robbery of the century, Whitakker's "Draw" with Chavez is the Robbery of the decade while Mayweather's "lost" at the olympic is just comical considering the olympic was held in atlanta at the time.

Malignaggi vs Ngoudjo wasn't a robbery, it was a close fight but it was a hometown decision at best.

I mean, 9 rounds for Malignaggi? I don't think you can score that many rounds for Paulie, no way.

A draw would've been better. When Ngoudjo won rounds he dominated and when Malignaggi won rounds he barely stole them except the few first rounds.

no robbery took place last night.

I'm glad people agree.

Which fight? I can't remember, but I had Paulie winning but not by 9 rounds.

If this is In reference to last night's fight.. Then allow me to put it in perspective...

There was No robbery... what there was .. was quite a few very close rounds..

Now had this fight been In Montreal.. then I am willing to bet Ngoudjo would have taken the bulk of those "close" rounds..
However The fight being in the Greater NY area.. And with Malignaggi being the champ.. He was given the Bulk of the close rounds..

Robbery???? No way..

Home Town Decision???... More likely

not **** talking I just bolded the points I found interesting because this wasn't the only home town decision that took place in the career of Ngoudjo.

anyone here seen the Randall Bailey vs Ngoudjo?



Herman can complain all he wants about how the "judges" robbed him .. but he should man up and if given the chance rematch Bailey because that was a hometown decision if I ever saw one.

That was the kinda fight to make you look in the mirror and say: "Boy am i lucky"
