I hate the Broner vs. Malignaggi fight

[illmaticfighter]

its horrible simply for the fact is if he wasn't who he was he wouldn't have gotten this shot.

vasquez or burns wouldn't even be considered for this oppurtinity but broner was.

i think broner needs to look at his career and realize while his career has highlights and style, it doesn't have substance except for demarco and a lucky win over ponce.

if he beats paulie he needs to either goto 140 or back down to 135.

No he didn't, people need to stop repeating that like it's fact when it's only an opinion. It was a close fight (a genuinely close fight, not a pretend close fight like Judah-Matthysse). I had Malignaggi by a round the knockdown making the scores closer and so did plenty of others. It wasn't a fight Cano dominated, it was one in which he did better than expected and made it close.

One thing's for sure, if Malignaggi manages to beat Broner he won't be getting any credit for it from some posters.

its an opinion based on cano punching malignaggi a lot more and a lot harder. your opinion is malignaggi used his boxing(moving around, jabbing at air and getting hit more) to win. guess it depends on what you like.

The Brooklyn crowd booed the decision. That says it all.

I have no problem with that, apart from the needless sarcasm in brackets. My opinion is that Malignaggi simply won more rounds in a close fight, it's an opinion that a lot of people held and expressed.

I can accept the view that someone thought Cano won just like I can even accept the view someone thinks Hopkins beat Calzaghe, a case can be made for both.

What I don't accept is that it's unquestionable that Cano won like it was a shut-out or a wide UD or something when that wasn't the case.

The Brooklyn crowd booed the decision. That says it all.

So we're judging by crowd reaction now? I guess Chavez Jr must have beaten Martinez given how the crowd were cheering for him at the end. Forget the crowd, score the fight.

I did score the fight and had it for Cano. If Paulie's own home crowd didn't think he won then I feel even more justified in my scoring.
