    I know it was a close fight that could have gone either way blah blah blah, but I want to see what ESB thought about it.

    Scorecards are welcomed.

    I thought Martinez but I'd only complain about the very wide scorecard. Either guy getting it or a draw would've been fine with me. But, yeah, I think Martinez deserved it on cleaner, more effective punching. But Paul's work-rate is a nightmare for more than one reason. Even if you're on your feet at the end, the judges often go on volume. And out-voluming (not a real word) Williams is not likely to happen.

    I felt Martinez did more damage. I gave him more rounds. Had him winning by two points, but I don't have my score-card anymore. I chose Martinez clearly, because I don't imagine I'll ever score it for Williams, but I don't have an issue with those that think Williams should have taken it by a narrow margin, one or two points. The only reason I would call the decision a robbery is because of that one score-card, which must have been a set-up, because no professional boxing judge could be that inept.

    There is already a poll on this, and Sergio won the fight.

    Sorry, didn't see it. I searched the forum to see if this has been done and didn't find anything, so I went ahead with the thread. Anyways, it's an interesting fight, whoever wants to give his opinion is welcomed.

    OK, I was going to vote for Williams by razor-thin decision, so I'll vote the clear one to even it out.

    I has PTP winning. It was obviously a tremendously close fight that could have gone either way though.

    Martinez but close enough to go the other way. I remember Farmboxer coming here well before the fight saying the judges would be rigged and then look at that one wide scorecard for Williams.

    I don't think this happens and I don't want to believe it does. The first two scoring criteria are 1. Clean punching and 2. Effective aggressiveness. I don't care if a fighter throws 2.000 punches per fight, he has to be effective for the judges to give him the nod. If this doesn't happen then it's just wrong.
