Were you REALLY Surprised??

round 1 was a Matthyse round IMO, but that's irrelevant, see I call it a robbery for that scorecard, just like Williams-Martinez I when that scorecard was 110-119, I agreed it was a close fight but Martinez got robbed because of that one idiotic scorecard,

If you notice Alexander also had a 95-94 scorecard, which nobody is complaining about, it's the 96-93 scorecard that made it a sour decision, and it a blatant robbery by making that so wide, that scorecard means that Alexander won 7 rounds to 3..no way in hell!..

if it woulda been a Split Decision with two cards 95-94 and one 95-94 or 96-93 for Matthyse there wouldn't be much fuss, but this judging is getting outta hand.

I agree with idea that a fighter can robbed even if he lost the fight in the way you described. Where he can lose the fight by a few points maybe, but then the judges don't give him a single round. That basically means the fighter had zero chance of ever winning a decision.

BUT, i'm not sure that applies here. 96-93, while definitely out there, is at the very least feasible.

The scorecard you mentioned, 119-110 for Williams was an OUTRIGHT DISGRACE and there is NO WAY IN HELL that you could argue for that kind of a scorecard.

This is what bothers me the most, and we got "HARDCORE FANS" here trying to justify ****, like it's a close fight, yea it is, but there was a CLEAR WINNER and it wasn't Alexander..

Malignaggi said it best

That's my boy. And he should know, because he benefited from at least one, possibly two, slightly smelly decisions in '08 himself.



'08 was just a bad year for Paul, though.
