Why do they say Martinez was robbed??

Two things.

1. That one judge who only gave ONE ROUND to Martinez. That pretty much ruined it all.

2. There is a strong bias against Williams on this site, particularly from the hispanic posters.

I had Williams winning 115-113, but I could see it being scored 115-113 Martinez or 114-114.

Hope to see a rematch.

well I'm Hispanic am I biased cuz you say you can see it being scored 115-113 Martinez(which was my score)?

You gotta admit though. The HBO highlights really make you believe that Martinez won just because he had the flashier clean shots and you see Williams off balance a lot.

The same thing happened when they showed the Cotto vs Clottey highlights. They totally made it look like Cotto destroyed Clottey the whole match.

I bet most of these guys that claim it was a robbery didn't even watch the fight. They probably just saw the highlights or are basing their opinions from what they heard.

I thought HBO was quite biased in their commentary. Manny Steward was biased in Williams' favor, however. But Jim Lampley...my goodness. When he acts like that, I wish someone would just shut him up. And the annoying thing is that he can really influence the viewer. I had Williams winning close and, quite honestly, after the third round he took complete control. He might have lost two rounds (tops) after that.

Finally, I'm one who argues for clean punching over volume punching but I think people are forgetting that Williams landed as well. He threw a lot of punches...and he landed a lot of punches as well. Maybe not as hard as Martinez but I'm not even sure about that because both fighters were hurt a couple times following the first. Robbery? Nonsense.
