A draw??? A missed cut by punch, a missed possible ko, a horrible hitting behind the head penalty, and then, another judging disaster. Martinez won 116-110, if not more than that, clearly.
Sadly it is. We need instant replay. Tonight Lewis said instant replay takes too long but Max goes on to point out that it only took a good 20 seconds in between rounds to figure things out. ****in Lewis.
cintron got knocked out in the seventh round i never seen a fighter pursway the ref from a clear knockout he was definitly counted out. also the judge that had cambell fight a draw scored it correctly ali funkea got robbed hbo had two spectacular cards then they have this crap tonite
Yeah, it's such a problem... That is... Unless we have some moronic fanbase of crotch massagers or idiotic nationalistic agenda pressers to confuse matters. Like we do. Right. Great. A disputed decision.. A robbery even. What a concept. It's so ****ing clear. ****, man. I'm floored. How NEW! Where are all the Cintron fanboys to shout you down? Oh... Right...
Till tonight, the worst decision of the last decade was the draw between Holy and Lennox. Tonight, that decision was made to look like a paragon of excellent boxing judgment. The 'draw' tonight was the new standard in bad decisions. Martinez KOd Cintron by any measure of the term. (Forget mad Max's grasp of the rules. A knee or glove on the canvas at 'TEN' means you're out. However, no knee and no glove on the canvas DOES NOR MEAN YOU BEAT the count. Yo must be vertical by ten. And in any case, it's the ref's call.) Tonight, the ref called the fight over. For some reason, it got put back on the tracks after Martinez should have had his stoppage. That in itself was bad enough. Then the bogus point deduction. WTF??? And the final straw. One judge (the man who took so much abuse for his decision in the Floyd-Oscar fight) got it right. IF you agree with the point deduction (and the judges don't really have a choice) the correct score would have been 116-110. How two ****in' blind imbeciles had it 113-113 defies all reason. Martinez got ****ed TWICE in the same fight. Unlike earlier posters,i have no problem with Cintron. He was just outclassed by the best fighter currently at 154. My beef is with the ref (who shold have been a second semester abortion) and two judges (who shoulkd be judging figure-skating).
