I like how first the 119-110 scorecard was the only problem with the Williams-Martinez fight, people said. They said if they that scorecard was closer, they would have been okay with it. Now little by little, people are beginning to change history and try to act like Martinez was robbed blindly when in fact that was a close fight. I saw Martinez dominating 1, 2, 3, 4 but then out of nowhere turned to shit in 5, 6, 7, 8, and from there the fight was basically for whoever wanted it more but Martinez kept taking rounds off and I had for Williams by a close but clear decision.Comment

Yeah. Anyone who can analyse that fight round-by-round and call it a robbery just flat out knows nothing about boxing.I like how first the 119-110 scorecard was the only problem with the Williams-Martinez fight, people said.

The first time I saw the Berto-Collazo fight live on HBO, I screamed robbery. I did not score the fight the first time, I was watching it with my friends and drinking. I then sat down and watched the fight in my computer, had my notepad to score the rounds, and I actually had Berto winning. So I don't know if that counts but at first I thought Berto got a gift, then I saw it again and saw he was the stronger fighter in the championship rounds and he rally hustled for those points at the end.Comment

Yep. I was one of the guys that scored it for Williams. I remember thinking the 119-110 was fucked up, but the right guy won.I like how first the 119-110 scorecard was the only problem with the Williams-Martinez fight, people said.

Had Martinez won that fight, I wouldn't have been bothered by it. It could have went either way, but a robbery it was not.Comment

Every close fight that goes in favor of the fighter a fan doesn't like, is a robbery nowadays. Just depends who you talk to. The neutral person would say it was a close fight and could have gone either way, the bias, robbery screaming fool will scream robbery.Comment

Didn't Clottey admit at the post fight interview that he didn't do enough to win the championship rounds? Cotto was still aggressive and landing and ended that fight with great left hook to Clottey's jaw. Clottey gassed out. Clottey-115-113?? Plus the kd in the 1st round sealed it, even if it was a flash kd, Cotto is the 1st to have ever put him on the canvas. More like Cotto-114-113.Comment

Chavez-Whitaker and Ramirez Whitaker. Chavez didn't get the decision but no way it was a draw. At the time I lied to myself and said he'd actually won.Comment
