Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Gets Off The Floor To Secure Split Decision Over Sandor Martin

[Lefty0616]

I had Teofimo winning, but he needs to get rid of his dad. Teofimo will lose against better competition. He has no jab, doesn't move side to side (he rocks back and lunges forth - that's terrible), and he doesn't cover his chin/head. His father offers no in between rounds instructions. "You got this", and "come on man" doesn't cut it.

Teofimo dodged a bullet tonight, but will suffer defeats as long as his dad remains his trainer.

Teo is horrible and so were those scorecards. Martin deserved the win

7-3 and 8-2 cards are an embarrassment to this once great sport.

Even the crowd knows what's up

Did Teofimo just say he wanted to fight Albert Pujols?

What’s the point in fighting if the judges aren’t watching. 1 judge had Teo winning 9 rounds. That’s either a dellusional or criminal scorecard

It isn’t delusional at all. I can see a case being made for all three cards. Given the fight, the running, the aggression, the anemic work rate from Martin. 9 rounds isn’t far fetched and neither would be draw. If you’re giving it to the aggressor due to very little work rate it’s completely possible.

The fight wasn’t good at all. On one hand you had a fighter that ran all night and another chasing trying to be the aggressor. One would strike the other would counter. Martin as far as I’m concerned had an extremely anemic work rate. If you’re not going to throw and run around the ring all night most judges will score it for the aggressor. The score wasn’t far fetched and all could have an argument for each based on what type of fight you were watching.

Martin's busted nose from a Teo headbutt might have something to do with his work rate.

Poor Martin. He won that. Home cooking. Two knockdowns. Other 140 pounders going to devour Teo. I really hope Teo fires his dad. He needs to get a real trainer.

It's fixed man. That's how fights are fixed these days. You secure at least one judge to submit a bogus card. He gets a lot of money under the table to pre-fill the card.
