Who Do You Think Won Martinez vs Murray?

[taansend]

So we all agree it was a close fight that could have gone either way then

[junior gong]

He won the fight clearly, but he was never going to get a decision there anyway.

Compubox is just a fat dude pressing buttons, unless the margin is something like 2:1 or more I completely disregard them as should any knowledgeable boxing fan.

To disregard them just because of how the system works is ******, you have to look at the results. Usually when a fighter lands more total punches and more power punches, that means he deserves the win. You can look up the punch stats of all the decisions that you consider questionable and you will see that pattern.

Whether you like it or not that's what he said in the Kellerman interview. If you don't like it go complain to someone else. I'm sure Hatton got in his head afterwards and told him "he out-thought Martinez."

By the way is this better for you?

Oh so when he says he lost the fight he's being honest, but when he says he out-fought and out-thought Martinez then it's because Hatton got in his head. You're not biased at all.

I had Sergio winning 115-112, but a lot of round were really close. I would not be mad if someone scored it for Murray.

I had Murray when watching and scoring live, have yet to rewatch it to see whether I was being biased with my scoring. I think it could probably have went either way without any legitimate controversy.

There were a lot of rounds were I thought Sergio landed a lot more than compubox scored. Even going by compubox you can tell that Murray distributed most of his landed punches in rounds 6,8, and 10; Sergio's punches landed were spread out over more rounds.

Although like I said, unless the statistics are really far apart like a 2:1 ratio, I completely disregard Compubox and so should any boxing fan w/half a brain.

You do realize its a guy pressing numbers during the live viewing right? The margin of error is HUGE!

When the fight ended and was interviewed by Kellerman he said:

"Sergio Martinez won fair and square – I didn't do enough," said St Helens fighter Murray to end a night of honesty and decency on both sides of the ropes for British boxers.

Hatton was really the first to complain about a "robbery." I think it's a great way for Hatton to promote his fighter, making people think Murray was robbed and that his fighter actually has a claim to be the be the best middleweight in the world.

I am not sure but Martinez needs to stop cycling. I cycle and have done over 20 miles easily a ride, and it has a lot of strain on your knees.

He does cross country which has a lot of impact as well as the motion of your knees constantly working.
