Originally posted by Priest Andretti View PostI agree on both points. That was an all out battle Martinez took his share of licks in that fight and got dropped. Glancing head shot or not Paul rocked him a few times in that fight and he got rocked himself which made it such a great fight.
I think people were just shocked at how well Martinez did that they refuse to acknowledge that Paul had his fair share of moments in that fight.

I'm gonna go with Alexander-Mattyhsse.
I scored the fight 5-5 with Mattyhsse winning by 1 point because of the KD. I didn't see the robbery everyone else was talking about. After the knockdown I expected Mattyhsse to dominate the rest of the fight, but I ended up givinng Alexander round 5... and 2 of the last 3 rounds.

Sven Ottke's fights with Mitchell & Brewer are still called robberies but were very close fights, & the two I scored for myself I had Ottke winning. Boring fighter but he was very hard to hit cleanly & had good timing. The Reid bout was a robbery, but the referee probably more to blame than the judges.
Sergio Martinez's bout with Kermit Cintron - heard over & over about how big a robbery it was - finally downloaded & watched it & wondered what the hell everyone was going on about. Martinez had all sorts of problems getting his timing down against Cintron but might of pulled it out in the late rounds - but had no problems with a draw. Not a good performance from Martinez, & I'm a bit of a fan of his.

Think a lot of how various fights get mythologized into blatant robberies is due to HBO riding some fighter they're promoting, or some 'story' they are selling.
