53% to 34% landing, Quartey Robbed

[GunStar]

I had Quartey by one point thanks to the low blow from Forrest. But just so you know, compubox doesn't mean **** when scoring fights.

Can't agree more, humanbox is the **** and I mean that in a bad way.

that's the worst robbery I've EVER seen because Ben Rabah won 10 out of 12 rounds and lost a unanimous decision. The next closest was Lewis winning 9 out of 12 over Holyfield but at least he got a ****ing draw. Ben Rabah got a ****ing L on his record for winning 10 rounds of a 12 round title fight. BULL ****ING ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's right up there, I had the same score, anyone wants to talk about a real robbery, then they should watch that fight.

i didnt get to see the fight yet i fell out , but i thought forest would win, but you alos have to remember forrest is an HBO fighter, hbo has more robberies then any other network. taylor lost 2 of his last 3 fight and drawed in one, but since he is on hbo he won them all, im tellin yall hbo is currupt as hell, ill save my further comments till i see the fight

I missed the fight, but 89% are saying that Quartey won the fight. Wow, usually there is much more disagreement than that. Now I'll definitely have to see this fight.

I had Quartey winning. I think it was a bit closer than HBO had it, for example, I didn't agree with how they gave that round to Quartey that Forrest had him badly hurt with the uppercut, but I definately thought that was a Quartey victory.

Don't look too much at connect percentage though, which is in the title of this thread. All that matters is the total damage inflicted. If one fighter throws way more punches, lands more, but is at a lower connect percentage, he deserves to win. So Quartey deserves the win, but not because of the connect percentage.

I scored it 97-92 for Quartey.
This bull****. Melvina Lathan scored it 96-93 for Forrest thats with the 1 point deduction.

horrilble decision. welcome to the future of boxing. wwf style. fake judges, this is the boxing that is made for people like taylor, forrest, hatton, mayweather etc. it doesnt matter who really wins, what matters is, who the networks want to win.

I've been saying this for a while now:

Women judges are by far the worst judges. They probably score fights on based which fighter looks "cuter"

It was a crazy fight. You knew from the get-go that Forrest was in for a tough night when he came out firing but hit mostly air and leather. For me the controversy began in the third round when Forrest actually landed a hard, clean uppercut but was headlocked by a stunned Quartey. Then as the ref ordered a break, Quartey continued to hold for several more seconds. To me this should be a point right away because a) it could have prevented a knockdown and b) it is in direct violation of the ref's orders, just like continuing to foul after a warning. Forrest continued to struggle through the middle rounds and to my surprise seemed unable to throw his right hand which is of course his power hand and the side that has not been operated on. To his credit Forrest seemed to adapt from his early over-aggressive style and start to use the ring space however he appeared to have no power with either hand and his balance and timing made him look like a shell of a fighter. Not to mention his confidence was obviously shaken by his early failure to set the tone. He ate tough jabs throughout the fight and appeared stunned by a Quartey power show in almost every round. In the 9th the controversy continued when the ref who appeared at odds with Forrest throughout the fight deducted a point for an accidental blow that he was not even in position to see. At that point it seemed the fight was over since going into the 9th it appeared Forrest would need both of the final rounds to have any chance on the scorecards.

Of course when buffer announced 95-94, 95-94, and 96-93 it appeared that the low blow had cost Forrest a majority draw but to the surprise of all watching Buffer called "...the winner by unanimous decision, VERNON THE VIPER FORREST!"

If there is a rematch I would bet all my money and possessions on Quartey. Vernon is merely a shell of his former self and I would venture to say that he has a serious injury to his right arm as well. Never a dull moment in boxing...
