"Unless you think your scorecard is so pristine that no alternative is acceptable" - This is the quote that ties together the whole piece. I'm seeing a lot of "Peterson got Robbed" and I'm not seeing a whole lot of scorecards being posted. The general thought is that Peterson absolutely dominated the championship rounds, I would ask anyone saying that to objectively (if you're capable of that) tell me how you scored both rounds 10 and 9, the 10th was a very difficult round to score even though I believe Peterson edged, scoring it for Garcia wouldn't have been sacrilege. The 9th is the most important because that's another round we have Lamont actually fighting and if you just look at that particular round ... Forget about what you feel about the fight as a whole... Just watch that one round! It's a Garcia round... And I believe 2 of the 3 judges scored it for him.

Peterson did absolutely nothing early and lost every round up until the 8th, with the exception of the 3rd on my card and also lost one on the championship rounds (9) ... Which brings us to 7-5 Garcia. Post your scorecard and let's honestly debate it.

Rounds for Garcia : 1,2,4,5,6,7,9... (Rounds 1 and 10 were swing rounds)

100% The last few rounds were NOT shutouts for Peterson at all. It's not like Peterson won 8-9-10-11-12 after losing pretty much all 6 early rounds. Garcia took 1-2 rounds easy in the last 6 rounds.


Peterson "looked" like the man with the antics of a Roy Jones Jr. but there was more show than SUBSTANCE when it counted. While he certainly looked flashier, and more willing to engage after round 6-7, it was just not enough in the end.


Garcia 7-5 at worst. You can argue 8-4.
