Murray was Robbed either way you look at it

[El Angel]

You still didn't answer his post. If Pirog made his living off of Danny Jacobs and wasn't worthy to fight Martinez. Then who has Barker, Murray and Macklin fought and why were they worthy opponents?

Oh right, because they were never supposed to have a chance. And all 3 fights were supposed to be easy work for Martinez.

Macklin got ROBBED against Felix Strum before he fought Martinez, he should've been WBO middleweight champ going in to that fight. Murray had fought Sturm to draw before the fight too.

Barker has not fought anybody of note, Pirog's win over Jacobs is better than anything he's done.

Even with instant replay the commission blew the second knockdown. Murray clearly knocked Sergio down a second time. The punch grazed his head, but got him in the ear. The ear controls equilibrium which is the reason Sergio lost his balance. Even with the failure to count the knockdown Murray won by 1 or 2 points. Another hometown GIFT decision. Now you know why Dibella is protecting his fighter from Pirog, GGG, and KC etc. Any of those three beat Sergio hands down.

It actually grazed the back of his head (illegal punch), but you're too high on that hatorade to see it...

Your avatar and signature clearly show you are not an impartial observer. BTW, i don't take control substances. But you seem a bit preoccupied with your right hand thinking about SM.

Also for those who say it was a punch on the back of the head. The punch clearly hit SM's ear which controls balance and equilibrium. SM was already buzzed and EVEN IF HE STEPS on his foot the determination must be made if the KD was a result of a punch or a slip, and it clearly was the punch that caused the KD.

Macklin didn't beat Sturm. It was very close, Sturm came strong the championship rounds. I had it a draw, while giving the close rounds to Macklin.
Macklin didn't have the WBA title, but Pirog did have the WBO title when he called out Sergio.

Nonetheless, Dibella will make excuse after excuse in avoiding the top MW's.

Nah man, Macklin clearly beat Sturm.

You're right, Sturm was WBA Super champion, that's my mistake. On the scoring however, we have a difference of opinion. I thought Macklin clearly beat Sturm, more so than Geale did in their unification match. Pirog did have the WBO title, but to date his best wins are over Jacobs and Ishida. Not only that, but he seems like he is constantly having his return date pushed back with his back injury, not to mention having to drop out of HBO date with GGG last year, which would have been a big stage for him.

The thing is Murray started off too slow. He was feeling out Martinez for the first three or so rounds too much so he fell behind then.

[Cuban Linx]

sorry but no LOL.

Murray had a great chance after round 10. But he clearly got dominated in rounds 11 and 12 and lost the fight. He wins those last two rounds, and he wins. Simple as that.

Murray got shafted by Martinez' judges and referee
