Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Angry: Matthysse Clearly Beat Zab Judah!

I think it was close enough that it was not a robbery. I had Lucas just squeaking by, but he should have done a bit more especially early on. As for Oscar and bad decisions, he has got received and lost some. I think that he should have got the Trinidad, Mosley II. Sturm was a terrible decision, but Quartey and Whitaker were close enough that they were not robberies. The running and jabbing were not enough in my opinion, if you fight that style then you better clearly outclass your opponent. In my opinion if the round is close then it must go to the aggressor, because he's the one making the fight.

Yeah,I think Mattysse clearly won,but it was a close fight,it could have gone either way!!

Judah vs Malignaggi might be interesting, what ya think?

I also thought about the DLH/Sturm fight... anybody who has watched boxing for 5 minutes knows that Felix beat Oscar in that fight. Oscar looked terrible, and he still got the judges decision. I don't think Oscar should ever cry outrage over robberies in boxing.

Battle for Brooklyn!

i think Judah might have trouble making the weight though.

to me it was a draw. good fight though.

oscar is a crab.. how can he say anything about that when, he clearly got his ass whipped by felix sturm, if im not mistaken, but was awarded the win just so he could move on to a bigger event. i had the fight 114 - 113 for mattysse, and ima zab fan.. the fight could have went either way depending on how u wana score it and what u look for.. either way oscar needs to shut up because he git the same blessing, in his career. and with his fight it was a true robbery.

It's a good thing that Matthyse will get a second chance. Matthyse clearly won that fight. Close or not, Matthyse should have been the winner.

Matthysse easily outboxed judah and he hit him with the cleaner harder shots and he had more ring generalship so those judges need to be fired. PERIOD.

Oscar got it right. It was a robbery. Close fight can be called robbery. Robbery is about the wrong person being awared the win. It doesn't matter if the scorecards are wide or close, if the wrong person won it's a robbery.

I feel bad for Matthysse being robbed. I really felt he deserved the win.

De La Hoya ran from Trinidad in the second part of the fight.
He tried to coast to a unanimous decision because he was
nervous of Tito's power. Oscar was clearly outboxing Felix
so never understood why he ran.

It was a close enough fight that to call it a robbery is ******. Judah did pile on a few points and with a few of those middle rounds hard to score, a 1-2 point victory swing by either side is totally acceptable I think.

But anyways, I'd bet a lot of money that there is no rematch. Judah don't want any of that anymore. You could easily tell by the way he was talking at the post-fight conference. Besides, it wouldn't make business sense for him. Too much risk for little reward and he's just looking at one last cash out run anyways.
