    Far from the worst scores I've ever seen. Buddy Lite didn't get much credit for the clean counters he got in though.

    Yup. I thought McGirt landed the better shots. But Hernandez was obviously aggressive enough to win over the judges.

    Buddy countered the hell out of him and deserved to win. Crap decision.

    was McGirts stamina **** again?

    Last fight I saw was the Joval fight and i was pretty impressed, thought the kid had some talent then he drew with a bum in his last fight.

    He doesn't use his height or boxing skills near enough.. he get's sloppy.

    He won this fight though, but he fought to Hernandez's level... a sloppy brawl.. but honestly the cleaner shots were all from McGirt.

    Bad decision, but no where near as bad as I've seen.

    I also thought he won. First one judge had it a draw. Then, they added it up again and had a unanamious decision given to Hernandez. 96-94 twice, 96-95. Ridiculous.

    98-92 McGirt would've been acceptable.

    I don't think McGirt was fighting very well. He fought on this dudes level. He should have established himself from the get-go instead of staying inside with the shorter guy. McGirt Sr was PISSED though.

    When they read 95-95 Jr looked disappointed. Maybe he will open his eyes next time.

    Honestly, Mcgirt's game plan was **** and this was his own fault. He had the tools to win this fight easily, instead he fought the shorter mans fight. Its OK to do this for a round or two just to show that you can, but not the whole fight. Either he didn't listen to his dad's instructions or Sr needs to go.

    For the record I figured it would be close, but was really surprised by the decision.
