I don't usually comment on this subject, but this fight was a straight fu ckin robbery. Man....I wouldn't even want to box professionally as a gaijin out here jeez. Silvestre was robbed huge, Miyazaki and his whole damn corner knew he lost. The looks on their faces were of defeat.

The bout was competitive, but I think Silvestre won clearly (116-112 or something like this).

I will say this... I thought it should've been a draw, but if there had to be a winner it should've been Silvestre. It's really tough to make the case for Miyazaki winning seven rounds. Not to mention that Silvestre won several late rounds in dominant fashion.

The perils of scoring fights round-by-round rather than as a whole. Because overall, Silvestre flat out kicked his a$$

A shame, a damn shame.

Seems to be a lot of hometown decisions lately.
