Originally posted by EngorgedW/Blood View PostJudges have been known to use white out, for who knows what reason, at the end of fights, to change scores.
Most recently, I forgot which fight was it that one of the judges scorecard had white out over a couple of rounds. But seeing things like that, makes you paranoid about every fight that is not on neutral soil.

There are insances when the judges blatantly score in favor of the hometown fighter but this was not one of them if through 7 rounds the fight was scored a DRAW
He fought a great fight and earned his belt, if there is a rematch I hope it is in Mexico

I agree with Salido on getting robbed if it were to of gone to the scorecards. He should of been ahead but it's done and over with and he won.

That certainly wasn't a draw at the time of the stoppage, and Salido isn't someone any judges in any location would give a decision over Lopez if it did go the distance. He's like Glen Johnson.

Originally posted by Stones! View PostYes, the scorecards were fine and I never claimed otherwise. You are misquoting me on the Kirkland stoppage; I criticized Joe Cortez for pinning Kirkland to the canvas and not allowing Kirkland to his feet after the 3rd knockdown. If Kirkland had been given the opportunity to show that he still had his feet then I would have no problem with Cortez' handling of the stoppage. Other than that, it was a great win for Ishida and I was happy he scored the W.

So Salido does have a valid argument I think.
