    "The Market" chose Juan Diaz

    According to Hbo it was clear that they felt Paulie won the fight as they called it but once the decision was announced they were pretty comfortable justifying the scores because as Kellerman and Papa said, the market dictates who wins.

    Because Diaz has an ethnic following like Cotto and Pacquiao, the judges gave him the fight.

    They flat out said it at the end of the fight.

    Paulie is right, boxing is ***ing bull****.

    Why even bother w/ keeping score when you know that the guy who has a following for whatever reason will 90% of the time get a decision by default.

    dont blame all of Hbo, its mainly kellerman. Bob poppa and lewis felt otherwise.

    It was a clear cut case of a hometown decision

      Max Keller man is full of ****. Paulie is 100 percent right, he got ****ed over by the judges like he said was going to happen. It makes me sick that fighters like Clottey and Paulie will not get judged fairly when they are underdoggs in big fights.

      Like Paulie said the judges bent hims over and ****ed him.

        I think Kellerman meant that if Paulie had KO power it would never have gone to the judges and that at this day in age boxing favors Knock out artists and aggressors rather than pure boxers.

          He flat out said, "the market dictates who wins"...

          His words, not mine.

            Don't bring Clottey into this.

            Cotto beat his ass by a point. Quit bitching about it already.

              Please stop it street bully. Clottey lost the fight and everyone that knows boxing knows it. Malignaggi on the other hand got screwed vs Diaz.

                Yeah, the market favors guys like Diaz who are the aggressors and are out for blood than guys like Paulie who box and run.

                  I'm not talking about whether he lost or not, what I am talking about are the bias judges that had lopsided scores in close fights when the fights were much closer.

                  Jesus, the least you could have done was rea the post closley before flipping out.

                    Yes, in what he said, Kellerman showed he really has no honor.

                    And you're right, Lennox and Papa didn't like what happened. Lennox's comments showed he has class, unlike the shallow Kellerman.

                    Merchant, Lampley and Steward would have spoken out had they been working.
