    That's exactly how I saw it. This robbery thing is all because the HBO crew were on it and Paulie himself was crying.

    I'd have it 7-5 to Diaz too. Diaz was genuinely fighting.

    Malignaggi was boxing but it wasn't unbelievable. He missed a **** load of shots. His punches are often pitter patter.

    Paulie's jab was often hitting Diaz's guard. Just throwing the jab doesn't score you points.

    everyguy i have spoke to who is into older boxers aswell (except Gaz though) has gave it to Malignaggi

    John Garfield thought my article was fully justifyable

    and the 2 irish guys Paddy and Alex had it the same scores also.

    Now S&C

    just saying it seems to be the guys interested in teh older boxers who tend to think Malignaggi won and the people whoo like more modern boxing think Diaz won

    I still don't see how this affects someone's judgement to be honest.

    TBH I can see how you can make a case for either boxer, a lot of the rounds could have been scored for either way depending on what criteria you scored for.

    I think a lot of the bad press for this is down to the 118-110 'hometown' card rather that the actual decision. If the fight had of been in Vegas and Diaz at of won 115-113 on all three cards (ie. the exact same result as we got on Saturday), nobody would have raised an eyebrow.

    Trust me I've scene way worse robberies then that fight. But boxing is so desperate to make stars they tried to jam the Jermaine Taylor's, Juan Diaz's of the world down our throat at the expense of boxing's integrity. Then there's the whole "sweet science" issue. They promote the sport based upon violence and not "sweet science". there's just to much blood lust and i'm not sure what way the sports going.

    How the **** are there 43 votes for yes...

    A crap scorecard is not the same as definitely getting the wrong result.
