    Yes, I'm just trying to prove my point so posters don't get a bad impression of my scoring, it's all about punches landed to me, and if someone is landing 10 clean normal shots to the others 5 power punches, I'll give the round to the 10 landed man. Nate's ring generalship in the early rounds was good also.

    Robbery?? Nah....not even close. Could it have gone either way....yea, sure. But in a close fight I do believe you have to win convingingly over the champion....EVEN if he lost it on the scales Nate was the champion. I scored it for Nate by a round. With the KD's I think Nate did enough to edge Ali. Ali showed a **** load of skills and grit and like Nate said....his day will come for sure!

    :lol: You need to leave that **** alone Jackie. Crack will have you ass out looking the fool. No one was well ahead in this fight....at one point early on Nate was well ahead if you call 2 rounds "well ahead" and at one point Ali was "well ahead" if you call 2 or 3 rounds that. but great fight and very close.....Nate deserved the nod.

    A robbery is when the decision blatantly and corruptly went to the wrong guy. This was a close fight that went to a majority decision. Nate got two KD. In no conceivable universe is this a robbery.

    Not true! Many JMM fans are still calling the gift draw Juan recv'd over PAC 4 or 5 yrs ago a "Robbery" when JMM was lucky enough to hold on to titles that were rightfully lost in the ring. And he was down 3 times. So whatever universe "DIE HARD" JMM fans are on....will be the universe you are touching on.:good

    was expecting the nate that beat up on the baby bull, but he didn't look good to me he was there mentally or physically. probably bumming out since he lost those belts, but seriously this should of been a draw. funeka came back and was outboxing nate for most of the fight making him look bad and nate should of taken his credit for those 2 knockdowns. the problem was the judges gave him too much credit, but if he needed a gift decision now was the perfect time. going to 140 he's gonna get blasted out the ring, but maybe he really doesn't have a choice

    It was a clear win for Campbell, almost a knockout! Harold Ledermann was watching another fight.

    I am between 6'0 and 6'1 and I weight 137.5 lbs (not training) and I can go down to 130 in only one day if I train my cardio non stop for 5-6 hours (I gain most of it the day after but that not the point). The point is that I got really small muscle, so no mather what I eat I will always be small (I eat a lot).

    I believed that if I train to be a boxer ill probably be around 135-140 lbs, of course muscle make you put some weight when you train but the cardio required in boxing will compense those heavy muscle.

    JMM won probably EVERY round after the first. Pac shouldn't get the victory just because he had ONE good round against JMM in the first fight. Nate swept the first three rounds pretty conclusively and won the the last few. If you gave him a couple of the middle rounds that plus the KD's are more than enough to give him the decision on the cards.

    Nah...JMM did VERY well mounting a comeback...but it's a myth that he WON EVERY ROUND after the 1st. PAC more than held his own in the following rounds all the way till the 12th and final round. JMM just proved his skill level was DEFINITLY above PACs, yet he still struggled. He definitley won the majority of the rounds but NOT ALL of them. I agree that Nate won enough rounds to pull out the "W" and the results were just IMO, but had it gone the other way it still wouldn't have been anything close to a robbery. Ali did his thing against a more experienced champion...I just think he fell a bit short of taking the Title with what transpired in the actual fight. im sure he felt he did enough.
