I Just Rewatched Oscar-Quartey!!!

[DLT]

That was the 1st time Ive seen it since I watched it live but its even worst now then I remember back then. Back then I thought Ike clearly won but now it was a huge robbery. There is no way that Oscar won that fight. What made me upset is that Oscar had a huge 12th round or atleast the start to it and he won that clearly 10-8 but that didnt even matter because the 2 judges who had Oscar winning the fight, had him with the lead even coming into the 12th. What? I had him 4pts behind going into the 12th and at the least I would accept him trailing by 3 like Lederman but come on. I cant beleieve that people think a prime Oscar beats Floyd. He had skills but he just never was all the way there. He was always missing something.

Then the other thing that makes me mad was Foreman. Everytime I watch an old fight I get so sick of hearing his voice. Man Im glad that he's gone. I get it that everyone has there guys that they like and they pick a guy before each fight but atleast all the other commentators try to be a "little" open minded coming into a fight. Foreman was never liked that. He always had his guy and his theroy before the fight and once then fight started then he would try to stick with it and convince you the whole fight why he was right, even if the fight itself went completely opposite. He talked and bragged about Oscar that whole fight. Its just like he did with Tito when he fought Hopkins. I also think he says alot of things just to go against the grain.

Then it made me mad because before the 12th, Harold said that he had Ike up by 3 and Merchant said he had Ike up by 4 but George said that he has Oscar ahead easily. Some of the things he says during a fight are so dumb and obviously wrong, then Merchant calls him on it, and he still tries to make up some reason why he is right. The bottom line though is that it was no doubt a robbery and no that last round shouldnt have been 10-7 like some may say. He dropped Ike and lit him up on the ropes but for the 2nd half of the round he probably didnt land another punch and Ike was in total control. Who do you guys think won the fight?

Get the **** out of here. Saying it was a "robbery". IT was a close ****ing fight. The best way to show that you dont know **** about boxing is to claim that a close fight where the guy you are claiming won went down twice is a robbery. If you think Quartey won, that is fine, it was a super close fight. It probably should have been stopped in the 12th and maybe Ike deserved to win it, but a robbery? Give me a ****ing break. And Ike was not in total control of the second half. Oscar didn't have the same success in the 2nd half, but its not like Quartey did **** in that round. Don't ever say a close fight is a robbery. And not one where your guy went down not once but TWICE. If Quartey won, that is fine, but he did not win more than 7-8 rounds. I thought it was either way, and would not argue with either decision (Quartey probably deserved it by a hair) but it should have been stopped in the 12th.

DLT, you are the one person I respect the most as a
poster....You never limit your post to a few lines to appeal to less
avid readers on this site and i respect that tremendously.

You are the only poster i will say that probably knows more about
boxing then myself when it comes to any fighter and topic. I know i talk about floyd alot, but talking about floyd is a sidenote from talking about boxing, and i talk about boxing even more in real life.
and you my friend talk about boxing. MUCH RESPECT to probably the best poster on this site..

I think you pretty much captured the whole fight. Foreman was ridiculous that night. Even fellow pom pom holder Lampley couldn't agree with him.

[tennesseeboy]

i agree, it could have gone either way... quartey controlled the fight with that awesome jab he had, but oscar dropped him twice, so... yeah, easily could have been called off, but quartey never really stopped fighting back, so that is really questionable, couldve gone either way though... far from a robbery though imo

Oscar has an huge size advantage over Floyd. The only reason Floyd managed to be a ww champion is because he's a very special fighter, one true ATG imo, if he was more limited he could have had an almost as great of a career at 130 where he should still be able to rule. PBF is a natural 135 pounder, much like Pacquiao. He's half an inch taller than Hatton and we all know how tall Hatton is. On a side note i think Oscar has no business fighting neither Pacquiao, Floyd or Hatton.

**** I VOTED DRAW I meant Ike

I had it 114-111 Quartey. Clear as day robbery to me

[j.razor]

i thought oscar won a close 1 & that is the only fighter @ thier prime he beat..he was beating Tito until he put his track shoes on so i ended it wit a draw.

[AntonTheMeh]

ike won by a point.just cause quartey dominated the rounds he won, doesn't mean he was robbed.those rounds were scored 10-9.whether you like it or not.

[SonOfCuba]

I was so pissed when I heard Oscar's name get called.
