96-92 for Ortiz on my card. I still can't/don't or won't understand how one judge or anyone for that matter scored the fight in favor of Peterson. I thought Lamont came on strong later in the fight, but there was no way he won the fight by the margin on that judges scorecard...STRAIGHT BULL****!!! So with Judah's recent gift, a draw for Peterson and Ortiz, Khan's victory, Maidana is still a viable opponent, Matthysse proving he belongs, Rios talking about moving to 140 2011, Bradley/Alexander winner (even the loser is still a contender) Kotelnik and more...140 IS LOOKING LIKE A MONSTER FOR 2011!!!!
Neither were fighting to their best, as I've seen them fight. But it was a crap fight with a godawful decision and I wrote the WBA for the first time since the only other time (Valuev/Holyfield).
I agree, I felt ortiz ran like a coward but he still deserved the victory! 2011 should be good, the 140 pound division is stacked!!!
No. In fact I could believe how hard Peterson was dominating Ortiz at some points. Just because Ortiz got 2 kd's in round 3 doesn't mean he would win the fight. He was embarrassed at some points by Peterson. If it wasn't for the De la Hoya judges and refs he would have probably lost. He did not look impressive.
