95-94 at the end of round ten, I gave a 10-8 to macklin though in the knock down round as i thought that was what was given no matter how the round went, don't really keep scorecards
I assume that you gave round 8-11 to Martinez and round 11 was a 10-7 round. Which means that you gave the first 7 rounds to Macklin and the 7th was a 10-8 round. Let me take this in. Up until the 7th round you thought it was a total wipeout from Macklins side. You must be joking with us all. Funny guy!
I had Macklin winning rd3, 5, 7... I had it 96-93 Martinez going into the 11th. 106-100 for Martinez.
I tried to keep a running score on IB's RBR. My math could be off. I felt Macklin was slightly better in the rounds he won. When I fell a guy is slightly better in a round. I won't argue with someone who scores the round for the other guy. However, rather I fell one guy won the round clear or by the narowest of margians, I'm going to score the round to that guy. In this case it was Macklin who was slightly better.
I see your points and I agree with you in your earlier post that Martinez was coming on strong in the later rounds. But it's a little harsh against Sergio not to give him a single round of 1-7 (if that was the case). It was close in the early and mid-rounds and Macklin was slightly better in several rounds but not in all of them.
Sergio was going easy but got pissed after "knockdown" and turned it on, and stopped Macklin, and showed that he is class above, luck has nothing to do with it!!!
I can't agree that Sergio swept the first rounds. That fight was even for the first half. Sergio was caught off guard by the way Mack started the fight and I think this fight showed Sergio can be a little slow to adjust actually. The real difference in the fight was Stamina. Sergio can think very clearly as he gets tired. As the fight wore on and Mack became mentally fatigued, he stopped doing the things that had kept him in the fight(head movement,feints,controlled distance etc.) I can't see how this fight is comparable to Pavlik fight in any way.
