Was Malignaggi robbed?

I scored it 6-6

Gave one really tight round to Diaz.

What is that Zango thing that has to be installed to get onto the site? Is it alright?

 

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.

 

Round one- PM

Round five- PM
Round six- JD
Round seven- JD
Round eight- JD
Round nine- PM
Round ten- PM
Round eleven- PM
Round twelve- JD

 

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

 

So their opinions are better than ours?

 

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.

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