Comments Thread For: Mattice Wins Suspicious Split Nod Over Hamazaryan on ShoBox

Why so emotional? Mattice won... no matter how much a c-unt like you cry about it, it is not going to chance... Mattice is still undefeated, *****

Ignore is so nice for trolls like you buh byeeee

[Boxingfanatic75]

You wanted a draw but your next post says Mattice won?
How do you score a draw anyway; with 1 knockdown & no point deductions? Mattice himself should have had a point deduction for holding in the 7th. Was a clear win for Zhora.
Please explain how Mattice fought an even fight? He got hurt twice, KD'd & out-landed by 50% more punches 134 to 97 (almost doubled up on power shots 100 to 57).

So nice to have an ignore feature I suggest you do the same. The ass clown is a troll plain and simple. A simple minded fool who I no longer have to see his unintelligible psycobabble

Not everyone. The Brits don't need to fight in the US unless they are trying to win a title. The money is generally a lot better for them if they fight in the UK.

Same for the Germans/Eastern Europeans. They make a lot more money fighting in Germany rather than the US.

Russia is coming up as well and you will soon find that the Russians will only fight in the US to win a title. Once they win the title, they will prefer to fight in Russia.

I think we have moved way beyond the narrative that the US is the centre of boxing. Boxing has become much bigger than the US only.

One Casino in Vegas with much smaller seating venues pull in more money than 02 and Wembley or anywhere in Russia. These are just simple facts. All boxers know that once you make Vegas you make big money and you’ve made it big time

Mattice deserves it? I guess he does for getting beat silly. Everyone that does not get KO’d should get a draw, regardless of how bad they get beat. Makes TOTAL sense to me. Ah, right!

Even Mattice had an absolute look of shock

[Boxingfanatic75]

But that didn't happen... And despite Mattice being ill, still manages to win... Are you going to cry? *****. Cry about Kovalev vs Ward while you are at it. Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch

No wait before I ignore you and since you are worlds above in the intelligence scale....

Explain this to me

Even better, since you are far more superior in your knowledge than ****** writers, Raul Marquez and hall of fame analyst Steve Farhood explain the following article as writte by ******. I’ll await your never ending wisdom on this subject

“In the co-feature, Zhora Hamazaryan was the victim of a deplorable decision. There was really no other way to describe what the 22-year-old Armenian endured.

Hamazaryan looked very good in his American national TV debut—according to everyone in the arena except for two inexperienced judges from Omaha, Nebraska. He showed a little shoulder shimmy and roll in the opening round, à la Naseem Hamed, against Thomas Mattice in a scheduled eight-round lightweight bout. By the second round, Hamazaryan (9-1, 6 KOs) changed everything with a picturesque right to the jaw that dropped Mattice.

The knockdown came at 2:41, forcing Mattice to hang on for dear life the remainder of the round. Hamazaryan tried to finish him, but Mattice (13-0, 10 KOs) showed the wherewithal to last the round. From there, Hamazaryan, who at 5-foot-5 was giving up four inches to the 5-9 Mattice, was the stalker.

Halfway through the fight, Hamazaryan was the more dominant fighter, landing a total of 61 of 220 shots (28%) to Mattice’s 44 of 204 (22%), though the big difference came in Hamazaryan’s 41 of 144 (28%) power punches in comparison to Mattice’s paltry 19 of 68 (28%) power connects.

Sensing some urgency, Mattice began opening up in the seventh. Still, Hamazaryan kept burrowing forward. With around 1:47 left in the seventh, Hamazaryan snapped off another perfect right that once again caught Mattice in the jaw, wobbling him. This time, however, Mattice did manage to gather himself quicker and got his legs under him.

Hamazaryan landed a total of 134-499 (27%) to Mattice’s 97-393 (25%). Again, the power punches proved to be the difference: Hamazaryan’s 100-346 (29%) almost doubled Mattice’s power connects of 57-178 (32%).

But somehow, some way, incompetence crept into the final decision.

Mattice, despite being knocked down in the second and buzzed in the seventh, was awarded a split-decision victory. Certainly no one at ringside saw it that way — possibly even Mattice, who wore a look of resignation after the fight.

The judges from Omaha, Mike Contreras and Jeff Sinnett, scored it 76-75 for Mattice, while Bob Lafratte, from Des Moines, Iowa, had it 77-74 for Hamazaryan.

Hamazaryan was the more assertive fighter. He landed the heavier blows. Even Hall of Fame announcer Barry Tompkins called it one of the worst decisions he’s ever seen in over 40 years of calling fights. Mattice won the first round, but after that, it was hard to give him three more rounds.

“It was absolutely horrible. At best, Mattice won three rounds. At best,” said Farhood, who called the Hamazaryan-Mattice fight at ringside with Tompkins and Raúl Márquez. “And if Mattice won three rounds, he still loses the fight by three points. I’ve worked every ShoBox show but one in over 17 years, and this was certainly among the worst decisions in the history of the series.”

That’s why the common sports fan thinks that boxing is an absolute joke !!! It’s just that simple. That decision last night was as bad as Holyfield vs Lewis draw at Madison Square Garden !!! I turned off the tv, and I wonder if I could stomach to watch Smith vs Mungia tonight.
As that late great Burt Randolph Sugar would say, “ That Decision Just Gave Boxing A Black Eye, And Boxing is running out of Eyes !!!

[STREET CLEANER]

That fight was the definition of a robbery.

No way in hell it was even a draw. Mattice might have one the first round which I did not give it to him.

BS decision that needs to be ripped into by everyone.

Well we are waiting. Every boxing analyst out there this morning are in agreement it’s not even a question whether Mattie lost or not. From Ring, Farhood, Raúl Márquez, Barry Tompkins, and every major publication. But you are right out of all of them

I think we have moved way beyond the narrative that the US is the centre of boxing. Boxing has become much bigger than the US only.

Golovkin, Lomachenko, and Kovalev are all fighting in America.

The rest of the world is starting to catch up but the U.S. is still the Mecca of elite boxing.
