Comments Thread For: Estrada: There Was No Robbery, The Fight Could Have Gone Either Way

[Real King Kong]

A fighter conceding the fight “could have gone either way”, is pretty well as close to admitting he lost as it gets.

Chocolatito seemed depressed after the fight by no means did Estrada kick his arse. The 117-111 card for Chocolatito was out of line. The fight could have gone either way or even a draw. Estrada didn't exactly have the looks of confidence. Either way you look at it Chocolatito earned a rematch. If you don't concur you don't know chit!

Clear robbery otherwise no judge would get suspended. Estrada might have low confidence going to his next mandatory and might lose...

Scored it to Gonzalez, but yeah could have gone to Estrada but the judge who had it 117-111 killed everything. It isn’t and couldn’t be that wide for either boxer, 115-113 either way yes but 117-111? Nah

You didn't win Estrada, far from it.

You did well, it was close, but that isn't enough to win and rob an aging legend of a well deserved signature win.

I have seen many fights where it is close, but one guy is consistently a few percentage points better and wins 118-110.

Doesn't mean the loser is ****.

I would say 4 times out of 5 the Judges would give the win to the fighter that pushed the action in an otherwise even fight. But he's right, it's not out of the bounds of reason that he won even though I personally thought Chocolatito deserved the nod.

Yes, me too but in a close fight, Estrada is correct in saying it could have gone either way. 117-111 for Estrada was well off though.

When top fighters fight they need to put proven fair judges in. The fighters work too hard to end up listening to BLLSHT after a hard fight. Only a KO would satisfy the fans on either side. It was like Morales-Barrera the first two fights--people didn't agree with the decisions. That's boxing--unfortunately.

I thought both Chocolatito and Braekhus got robbed. 100-89 for the Braekhus fight was some Byrd level judging. I had it 95-94 Braekhus with the BS point deduction.

I had the Chocolatito fight 115-113 or 116-112 for Chocolatito.

Shameful night of boxing judging overall.

Fine.... Close fight... But 117-111... Really ?

It wasn't a "robbery" but choc clearly won imo.

Hopefully he gets a rematch straight away.
