I'm not sure about in the early 60's but your reasoning doesn't matter in amateur bouts.
Whatever. Pietrzykowski won two rounds closely while losing the third clearly. Clay, as American, was heavily favoured by judges. Usually, Americans and Cubans were usually heavily favoured in amateur battles.
Well, what about the power punches statistics, that so popular today ? Pietrzykowski landed several of them while Clay practically noone. Pietrzykowski won first two rounds, while Clay won the last. It should be at least a draw.
P.S. Watch this fight with muting this ****** comments. Watch the fight silent, please.
Cassius Clay won both of the first two rounds in my opinion. Maybe the second round was sort of close I guess?
And there's no question who won the 3rd.
Boxing usually isn't scored just on power punches. And especially not amateur boxing.
Who said robbery ? Certainly not me. It was a close battle. I said that Pietrzykowski should have won. At least it should have been a draw. Rather not Clay's win. That's all.
well should have won means you think he was robbed of a win.
