LOLLLLLL at someone saying that whitaker was doing pitty pat punches, to justify his terrible scoring bringing up the malignaggi broner fight, 2 completely different fights. I mean malignaggi was doing pitty pat punches AND missing alot. Whitaker was throwing short compact punches, outboxing him from the outside, and even winning on the inside pretty easily. Hard shots power shots. I mean come on, that person needs to shoot themselves whoever said that.

I'm fan of both fighters but Whitaker won that fight. King protected Chavez very well back in those days.

I've seen the fight once and I had Whitaker winning by 4 rounds. Whitaker was just always the better fighter. Much like Taylor was, but Taylor fought like an idiot and kept taking punches he didn't need to take until ultimately he was knocked out.

Originally posted by Dinamita 03 View PostEarly rounds were close but most were won by Whitaker. Chavez was landing the
Straight right pretty nicely but that was basically the only weapon he managed to land. The later round Whitaker started winning the rounds by a bigger margin and had Chavez frustrated as he was able to land nice combinations an displayed great defense. Never kept a scorecard for this fight but obviously Sweet Pea deserved the nod.

This was not a draw, pernell won, but not the worst scores i have ever seen
Originally posted by gauze View Post116-112 whitaker. i gave chavez 4 of the first 5, close rounds that could have gone to either guy except for round 3. i liked chavez' body work in those early rounds and he landed some good rights upstairs.Originally posted by J The UnBiased View PostWhy would Whitaker call for a rematch?Originally posted by sdcluser View PostA lot of low blows. Should deduct 2 points from Whitaker.
And why wouldn't Whitaker call for a rematch??? Look at Tarver after the first Roy fight, you gotta call for a rematch.
