unfair decision for quartey-philips fight

[Upper Cut]

Snap out of it.

"Unfair" is not a term that could be used in regards to this fight. If anything, Phillips may have earned a draw, but no way did he win when Ike swept 3-8 and won 12 definitivly.

Yes he won the 12th round.. In a 10 round fight!

Good One, I see the name suits you very well

I personally think that if anybody lost that fight it was Phillips' corner, losing it for Phillips. In the middle rounds when Quartey was clearly dominating, Verno's corner kept telling him that he was winning these rounds, was pulling away in the fight, needed another round just like that, blah, blah, blah. So when Verno floored and really hurt Quartey in the ninth he thought that he had just put the icing on the cake. As a result of this he did not really go after Ike, instead choosing to avoid doing anything that could be ****** and get knocked out. However, it was obvious to everybody except Verno's corner that Phillips was behind in the fight and needed to press for at least another knockdown and at best a KO. Instead he did not force the action and ends up losing a close decision... Worst job out of a corner that I have seen in a long time. Especially when Johnson's corner would be brutally honost with their fighter just a few moments later...

When Phillips punched, & made Ike punch with him, he was winning handily. He hit & hurt Ike with big shots.

But, he fell asleep from 3-9 (came alive in 9)....& pretty much gave those rounds to Ike.

Ike deserved to win, but it was Phillips' fight to lose.....& he did just that !

[Double]

If you look at the second time Ike fell, his leg actually got caught on Phillips' leg
