Even if it was a clear 120-108 to Stevie, there's guaranteed to be about 10 mutha****as crying "robbery"
nope. It was a boring shitty fight and Molitor was far from impressive, but Ruiz has nothing to complain about. A SD was generous. shouldve been a UD. The fight sucked though. 2 guys both trying to wait for the other to come forward so they could counter punch. Molitor looked like he could've won a lot more decisively if he had been more active, and threw more combos. Too much throwing single shots, then backing out. He would land the straight left with ease more often than not, and instead of following it with the right hook or any other punch, he would land the single shot and then back out. He was tentative throughout much of the fight. For brief moments it looked like he found his rythm, but not often enough. Seemed to pick it up a bit in the last 2 rounds though. As inactive as Molitor was, Ruiz workrate was worse, and Molitor landed the cleaner, better punches in most rounds. He probably won a solid 3 rounds, maybe 4. He cut Molitor with an accidental butt in the 7th, which seemed to bother Molitor for parts of the second half of the fight, and hurt Molitors momentum, as he had clearly won rounds 2-6.
Just got around to watching it. The fight was close but pretty clear IMO,I had it 116-112 for Molitor.Should have been a UD not SD. Both guys are counterpunchers waiting for the other to make a mistake and this style match-up made for a terrible fight,one of the worse I've seen recently.Molitor was busier and more accurate and deserved the decision but he wasn't anything impressive and even said that. No robbery here.
