Armando Castro vs Khaosai Galaxy If you want to watch the Galaxy myth dispelled this is great. Castro takes it to him- beats him like a drum stuns and drops him while taking his best shots. Castro does get dropped and it is a bit of a back and forth but for the most part a dominant win the cards don’t display. Castro was 100% robbed. That night Castro fought how I imagine Greb a nonstop whirlwind with no fear and a concrete head.
This is what I wrote when I scored the fight: Gustavo Ballas v Rafael Pedroza II Wow! Damn good fight. I remember when this took place and I was really surprised reading the result for a couple of reasons. One, was the fact that Ballas had already beaten Pedroza and two, was that he had such an incredible unbeaten record I didn't think he would be beaten for awhile. And certainly not by someone with such a mediocre record. To tell you the truth, Pedroza didn't even deserve a shot at the title. He had lost 3 out of his last 4, but he turned in a performance for the ages. Here we go. Round 1: 10-10 Even Round 2: 10-9 Pedroza Round 3: 10-9 Ballas Round 4: 10-10 Even Round 5: 10-9 Pedroza Round 6: 10-9 Ballas Round 7: 10-9 Ballas Round 8: 10-9 Ballas Round 9: 10-9 Ballas Round 10: 10-9 Ballas (I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they scored this round 10-8) Round 11: 10-9 Pedroza (Ballas really took his foot off the pedal after that last round) Round 12: 10-9 Pedroza (I wrote on my card, 'or even', it was that close) Round 13: 10-9 Ballas Round 14: 10-10 Even Round 15: 10-9 Pedroza Total: 145-143 Ballas (actual scores: 145-141 for Ballas and 146-142, 145-142 both for Pedroza) There are so many rounds that could have been scored even or for the other guy because it really comes down to your criteria. Do you prefer Ballas' slick pot-shotting or Pedroza's steady body work. I do feel Ballas got short-changed here, but too close to scream robbery.
Lewis - Mavrovic Exciting fight where both men let their hands go. The fight was MUCH closer than the scores rendered by the judges.
You say tomato... There is no right or wrong, but I remember the fight being very dull with Lewis comfortable throughout and dominant in places.
Maybe you got it mixed up with another Lennox defence...Tua ? At any rate, you could give it another look.
