Baumgardner had the right look and confidence, however yes I see in spots where she could have done a bit more, however I favored her and really believe the right person got the decision, now what I wish could happen is for Mayer to get over it and seek help for depression otherwise she will never rebound if a rematch is to take place. Baumgardner smart for not going directly back into a rematch, get paid and continue to develop then go beat that A_S again!
Mayer won’t get a rematch anytime soon because she keeps calling it a robbery when the whole world knows it wasn’t. It was a close fight. Most people had baumgartner winning. Anyone calling a robbery or a gift didn’t watch the fight.
Thought the fight was close. About 10 rounds where it was easy to see who won, problem was these were about 5 a piece. Then there were a couple rounds that were up for grabs. At the time, as I recall, I had Baumgardner ekeing it out 7-5 or a draw. I expected them to give it to Mayer.
No robbery. It was a close fight and I felt like both women gave rounds away to the other. At some point, I hope they run it back.
I had it 5 - 4 for AB going into the 10th. Neither came out with any type of urgency in the last rnd but I thought AB outworked her. Only tough rnd to score was rnd 3. They both won their rounds pretty cleanly
