Casamayor- Kid Diamond a DRAW

[jayschre]

What sense does it make for foreign fighters to come to the U.S. and continuously get robbed? Horrible decesion. Schreck also had Golota vs. Ruiz 114-111 for Ruiz. He should never be allowed to judge another fight ever again.

Dude exactly who the **** was the foreign fighter in that fight that you are referring too? I totally thought that Kid Diamond won the fight tonight but your statement is rediculous seeing as how they actually spoke english in Diamonds corner (the russian or whatever he is) and they spoke spanish in Casamayor's corner(Cuban). One would think that if anybody was gonna be the recipient of a bogus decision it would have been Kid Diamond because he is the Top Rank Fighter and it was their show. But in reality this was nothing more than another sad case of a horrible judge doing a terrible job of scoring a fight, hopefully sooner or later this kind of **** will start to become as obvious to the state commissions as it is to the general public and they will stop the maddness of appointing these hoopleheads to the position of judge!

I definitely agree with that Steward and Jones are typically the voice of reason. Has anbody else noticed that Merchant's comments are much worse than they were before. His analogies don't even seem to make sense anymore.

I agree...I also thought that what Lederman was saying was bogus early on. All he was saying was that KD was the aggressor so he should be winning but Casamayor was boxing pretty well and was leading on compubox punch stats I think it was after the 4th round or something.

Kid Diamond was ROBBED

[Bozo_no no]

I had it 6 rounds each with Cassamayor getting a 10-8 round in the 1st.

Bottom line is it was a close fight. Shame on those of you who come in here hissing about your opinion in a fight this close.

Sheerly a matter of opinion, and a draw was a fair result.

And for the record, this fight was one of the worst HBO commentaries in a LONG time (and they are often ba)d. They
were constantly having long winded distracting conversations
that had NOTHING to do with what was actually happening while
the fight is going on. Just awful.

if you ignore the HBO COMMENTATORS then you would see the fight was close. It could have went either way..Although I couldnt understand the final scores. I felt casamayor pulled out the championship rounds and won the fight by about 2 points. This fight reminded me of the forrest and mayorga fight(2nd one)..Where forrest was blocking and boxing well but mayorga was agressor. Perhaps HBO was on kid diamonds side because casamayor is known to mostly fight on SHOWTIME

Kid Diamond was ROBBED

the fight was close, it was not a robbery

[oldgringo]

the fight was close, it was not a robbery

Exactly. I don't understand how people say, "it was a CLOSE fight, but KD was ROBBED". That makes people sound ******.

I guess Merchant and Lederman got a hold of peoples outlooks on the fight because Casamayor won at least 6 rounds and at least 2-3 with his jab and body punching alone.

I had Casa winning round 12 because he was hitting/stunning KD with a LOT of good counter left hands up until he got hit with that combo that wobbled him. I had Casa winning the 4th but losing the 5th I believe.

I felt that kid diamond took the early rounds and casamayor finished very strong and took a close decision

The Fight Was Close But I Thought Kd Won The Fight By 1 Point. Was It Me Or Did Cassamayor Look Like He Shocked By Kd's Power?

Yeah I had him winning that first round big, and then I had him winning like 4, 6, 10, 11 somewhat comfortably, and 12 just by a slight margin.

I felt he took the lead in 10 and 11 and neither guy really did too much outside of Casa landing that monster left hand when KD's foot was caught in the ringside camera. Casa landed a couple of good jabs and lefts while KD landed some good hooks and little right hands. Basically I had it even 6-6 with neither guy being overly impressive but Casamayor eeking out the win as a result of the knockdown.
