Campillo incredibly gave away the last 2 rds

He didn't go in for the kill so to speak, still robbed though.

 

I'd say it isn't outlandish..... a draw. I felt Campillo won, but a draw would have been in acceptable swing, although on the Cloud end. But I also felt the fight could have gone as far the other way as 116-110 Campillo.

 

There is no way that Cloud was suppose to retain his title...He was outclassed! There is no way that you can even make a case for him winning that bout.

Cloud has a lot of things to work on...If he cant land his bombs, he looks lost in there...He has NO technical skills...He loops his punches too much...He has a lot of work to do for him to reach the top again!

 

twas a robbery. sounds like the same excuse that *******s used about Marquez "supposedly" giving up the last couple of rounds

 

Yeah, I love that "He should have KNOWN that he was going to get screwed on the cards, so it's HIS FAULT for not stepping up his desperation down the stretch."

No, **** that. You either won rounds 10 & 11 or you didn't. You shouldn't be punished for not winning them passionately or in a manner that shows you're trying to close the show against the favorite. If you casually stroll through the championship rounds but you're still landing more cleanly and being more effective then you win. Hunger and desperation are not scoring criteria.

At the end of the day, on the ten-point must system scored round by round - Campillo ought to have won. There were not enough close rounds even with the 10-7 1st for Cloud to have an argument...and that includes the last two.

 

Well said.

 

What are you confused about?

Someone can look bored out of their mind, distracted, and be completely half-assing it; it has nothing to do with whether they're winning the round. It simply isn't a factor, great or small.

 

Robbery.

 

Campillo outboxed him clearly most of the fight. Don King's judges robbed him.

 

It looked like Cloud was close to being stopped in the first half of the 11th with all the shots he was taking(which again, well-timed break to check the cut to see if it was worth stopping the fight over), and Cloud's one shot putting Campillo in retreat mode is all well and good, but that's all he did. He didn't land anything else of significance before or after during the round, and did not shake Campillo nearly enough with that one shot to pull the round out. And the next round, Cloud outworked Campillo for the first half of the round, but landed nothing of importance, then Campillo closed the show on him in the 2nd half of the round by actually landing combos and putting Cloud on the defensive to leave no doubt. Neither of those rounds are hard to score. The two judges would have given them to Cloud as long as he stood through them.

 

I remember someone said (I'm pretty sure it was the commentators but can't remember) that he shouldn't have showboated because the judges might not have liked it.

 

He pulled a ray leonard to ensure the judgrs would get it right this time, thats what I feel.
