Williams-Lara: Worst robbery you ever witnessed?

Exactly the same amount, actually.

Cintron won two rounds.

Williams won two rounds.

Lara won ten rounds, more than Molina's eight just because it was a longer bout. Had there been an 11th and 12th in Molina-Cintron Carlos would have won those as well and matched Lara's ten rounds to two victory. (or he'd have stopped Kermit).

 

One of my pet hates is when close fights are labelled robberies - this fight though, was a genuine, bona-fide robbery. How anyone could score this to Williams amazes me.

 

After rd 11 I was like please Jesus don't let Paul Williams get hurt.

He was getting lit up in every rd. I can see why he might retire. Could you imagine Pacquiao in there hitting him at will with left hands? Hmmm...Maybe Bob Arum can...

 

Total Robbery. Williams was getting his ass handed to him in almost every round. I know every close fight get's called a robbery on the general forum but this wasn't even close. Williams won 2-3 rounds tops and got badly busted up.

 

One of the biggest robberies I've had the misfortune of watching.

 

Yes it was... This fight wasn't even remotely close.
You can make a case for fights like Alexander vs Matthysse beïng close enough to give it to the home fighter and not call it a robbery, but this one was disgusting.

If PeeWee had been a German and this had happened in Germany I'm sure the TS had been screaming bloody murder!

 

I'm not a fan of close fights being mislabeled as robberies.

I scored Williams-Martinez I in favor of Williams.

This was a robbery. Plain and simple. Worst I've seen in a while.

 

I know that! I'm not that stupid, I was comparing the one sided nature of the beatings, not the actual score, anyone that agrees with the Motlina decision and the Williams decision needs serious help.

 

:yep

I think Molina was not far off from being as dominant in whipping Cintron in each round as Lara was in whipping Williams in each round...but yeah, Lara was maybe a bit more dominant just due to how much of a sucker Paul was for those wicked lefts, too stupid to even clinch (where Cintron was able to avoid damage by hugging for long stretches).

 

Yes, absolute robbery. You're seeing some biased Americans, who love pissing all over other countries like Germany and Canada when their fighter loses a decision there, now scrambling to try and make a case for last night's fight being close so they don't have to concede their country is equally flawed, if not more so, when it comes to crap officiating.

 

Your brother was 100% right. About every text he sent.

 

Cintron vs Margarito again would be lovely, something about him makes me want to see him sparked. Molina needs to fight Lara again.

 

No wut I'm seyen......

 

It's clear that the HBO commentary had a significant influence on people's perceptions of the wideness of the margin. I thought this was a very close fight with Lara winning 115-113. The draw score was not unreasonable, imo. What WAS ridiculous, however, were the scores in Williams' favor.
