Comments Thread For: Walters, Sosa Fight To A 10 Round Draw

[bojangles1987]

What the ****, that was a clear Walters win. Those scorecards are insane. No way did Sosa win 5 or 6 rounds.

HBO delivered big on the skilled infighting last night. I love watching Walters fight. His defense inside was nice to watch in this fight and made the difference between the two. Shame the judges couldn't get it right. Then again, it is boxing. I can't pretend to be surprised.

I haven't watched this yet, But what I am seeing is the usual butthurt guys who jumped on the Walters bandwagon(despite his only good win being a punch to the back of Donaire's head in a fight he'd nearly been put asleep in) say it was a robbery... I'm almost willing to bet that Sosa deserved a draw just from you biased idiots saying he didn't ...Yep that's how biased and inept NSB is...Anyway off to watch, will be back to rave and rant about the decision either way XD

Wonder why butthurt is usually the first word lately when someone doesn't like what they read/hear? And you hadn't even watched the fight yet. BTW if you see the fight and declare Sosa winner and/or a draw justified... you're the one with butthurt. Sosa's defense was nothing compared to Walters, and his offense was pathetic, something like 20% landed. "Yeah I'm not that great but I'l throw a bunch of punches I know I can never land anyway, just to appear the out-hustler". Meanwhile Walters was around 50% landed. A landing percentage that nearly always means a win... unless there's a robbery. Walters only issue is he probably needs to drop down 4 pounds, if he can, to dominate.

This was one of those fights where you want to see everyone's reaction to the cards being read out.

Man get that disgusting girl out of your avatar!

All you have to do is watch it to know he should have won.

Sosa did fight pretty well but he didn't win the fight.

That feeling is almost universal among fans and writers.

Nothing to do with ****riding or being butthurt. It was a horrible decision.

I thought Walters edged it but the HBO **** riding was disgusting during this fight.


and LOL @ Lederman giving Sosa 1 round and Max giving him none, smh.

This right here.

Sosa landed stuff when walters wasn't doing anything in some points in the fight. Alot of the rounds where close imo.

I read some of these posts and understand the ******ity of boxing fans now in days. Oxymoron to the fullest. You can not say a fight was close but one fighter dominated, if one fighter dominated then by the very fhucking definition of the word "dominated", the fight can not be defined as close. The reality is the fight "was" close, and quite a few rounds could have gone to either side. I had Sosa loosing by 2 rounds, but while HBO was enjoying the Walters circle jerk in the first 4 rounds, Sosa was busy out landing, out punching, and out hustling Walters. You have 3 men saying for 10 rounds how the fight was close, and when the scores proved it to be so the narrative became Walters dominated. ****** bias.

This right here

So because of HBO commentary it is OK that Walters got screwed?

Are some of you blind and depend on HBO Commentary to judge a fight correctly? You can watch this fight on Mute and Walters still won this fight and I thought he won it comfortably to the point in which it is no controversy

So fighters shouldn't trade shots and fight inside? Some of you are ***ing hypocrites! When a guy is to defensive you complain, when they give you all action and trade you complain that they get hit to much

Walters won this fight and no it did not take HBO commentary to convince me of that. HBO suck off everybody that fights on their network exclusively what else is new!

It was a competitive 1 sided fight

Sosa was doing well in each round landing his own staying close in terms of scoring shots but losing the vast majority of rounds to the cleaner/harder/more effective shots of Walters

Immediate reactions to the scorecards from the RBR thread:

Wtf what!!!!

What?!??!?!??!?!?

A draw? Are you ****ing kidding me?

Damn, a draw?

Did I just hear this right?


WTF?

Wow, I want to laugh but that is just criminal.

That was hilarious. I thought that kid did great for himself, but a FKING DRAW!?!?!? Walters got fked. Sosa won 1 round tops not the 10th IMHO mind you, but 1 maybe 2 if you feel charitable.

i didnt even score or fully pay attention but my god

I had it 7-3 Walters, What a ROBBERY

WTF??????????????? Biggest robbery this year.

is this the worst scoring of the year??

Wow, what a bizarre result....

Merry ****ing Christmas! - Teddy Atlas

Wow.......

But ya'll keep on whining about HBO's commentating.

[deathofaclown]

Sosa was always in the fight and never looked in any real danger and always throwing back but anyone with a tiny bit of boxing knowledge could see Walters was doing the better work in every round.

If you don't know boxing and watching, i'm sure it would be difficult see what's happening but the problem is that the judges are paid to be experts and i have no idea how any person in that position can't see Walters clearly won. I wouldn't say he dominated anything, but he still won...
