Its a travesty, zbik got robbed!!!

[sdcluser]

Zbik was down on the card before the fight started

it was no way Arum was going to allow him to lose, at worse they would have saved him and given him a DRAW (Ironically like one card had it), I am starting to become very suspect of Top Rank Events...VERY!

I get the feeling sometimes like Opponents are being PAID OF TO TAKE A DIVE as well as suspect Refs and Judges, Zbik was getting blasted in the NUTS most of he damn fight and the ref knew it but it was NO WAY he was going to take a point from Chavez


It is NO DAMN WAY Arum put Chavez Jr in the ring with Martinez...NO WAY!

Martinez and Cotto will make Jr lose his "******ity"

Both Cotto and Martinez will **** JCCJ. JCCJ = C level fighter.

you hit the wrong key buddy, fixed it for ya.

Feel bad for Zbik.I never like the idea of JR training with Feddy to begin with.he was better off with his old trainer.atleast he would've been more active.

I agree it was a robbery, I had it 115-113 for Zbik. I just couldn't believe that Chavez Jr had such a bad defence, I mean I've seen him a lot before and yeah he had a pretty poor defence but he said that this was his best training camp ever and so on, but his defence was just plain crap.

It ended up being a close fight, I had Zbik winning 7-5 but that is in no way a robbery.

purely academic, purely hype favoritism..........


zbik completely won academically......... chavez won on pure hype.....



if you think beating a guy to the punch and out landing him 2 to 1 maybe even more is winning? the you have zbik winning the fight as anyone with common sense and not ****riding.........


if you think finishing strong when you're 15lbs heavier than your opponent is winning, then you really don't have any respect for the sweet science....


zbik might have not finished whooping jr's ass, but he racked up an academic lead that chavez need knockdowns to improve his chances at winning, at least in the real world scoring, not this crap that we've been subjected to.


they aren't doing chavez any favors giving him this belt stealing it away from zbik.........


did anyone notice, the final compubox numbers at first view they were a landslide in favor for zbik but when they changed it to showing the location of the punches on the dummy, of body, head, left, right, the numbers were the exact opposite in favor for chanvez????


i have no faith anymore in the hbo establishment and their set up, they are corrupt beyond belief.......

I felt like it was a tough fight to score. Zbik landed way more punches, but do you win for just landing more punches, even if they aren't effective at all? This isn't the amateurs. Really just comes to preference, in my opinion.

I like the nod to Chavez, but I would have agreed if they gave it to Zbik.

whoa wait up for a second, look at the inside the ring weight difference, chavez was two who weight classes above zbik, landing those shots on a regular middleweight would've done sufficient damage.........

chavez was fighting inside the ring as a CRUISER WEIGHT!!!!, zbiks punches had to count!!! chavez punches got all the credit even though out weighing old boy by 15 lbs, hbo acted like chavez was taking on a bigger guy, totally not the case......

Do I give a ****? Boxing is about inflicting damage on your opponent. If he can't hurt him, he needs to look impressive in other ways.

And that's the thing, other than landing more punches, Zbik had NOTHING going for him. He probably COULD have boxed circles around Jr. But nope, after round 3 he just stood toe-to-toe, letting Chavez rip him to the body, and then throwing a weak ass 3 punch combo.

So yes, I have to give it to Chavez. His defense was absolutely atrocious, but considering Zbik had nothing - he really didn't have to worry about it. He just leaned forward and ripped away at Zbik's body...AND ZBIK LET HIM.

So yes, Chavez deserved the win.
