Donaire wins Split Decision?

I scored it for WV.

What happened to Donaire is going to KO VW?
VW didnt get dominated and thus deserves the victory.

VW deserves a rematch and should get 50% of the purse, in puerto rico and a 4th judge.

 

Who the heck is Dr. Ruben Garcia? Did he get his doctorate and judging licenses from a cereal box? I don't see how any judge in good conscience could have scored that fight for Vasquez, Jr.

I thought Donaire was in control the entire way. To me, Vasquez, Jr. was fighting more to survive than to win. Donaire was calm and comfortable the whole way, and landed the cleaner, harder, more effective blows. He decked him once and had him badly hurt on another occasion.

Only suggestion I would have for Donaire would be not to load up quite so much, but to work his gears more, to intersperse some medium power shots and have a few more combinations and/or more consistency of blows, rather than big power bombs followed by big pockets of inactivity. Could help him when it comes to a genuinely close points decision, which this was not.

Chavez, Jr. did what he had to in order to win. Not a great fight by any means, but another win for him against a solid veteran.

The first thing i learned about boxing is that the jab is a boxers best weapon.

 

That judge who scored a win for Vazquez jr. is probably having a good laugh and downing a six pack.

 

nonito didn't look good at all, but he won the fight.i had it 117-110

 

People under appreciate the jab buddy, if I start to teach a kid in the gym I explain to him that the jab is his first line of offence, and defence, there's also so many variations, a flickering jab, a pumped jab, an up jab, a jab to the body, and they can be doubled or trippled up. You find rythm with a jab,, you use it to set up punches, you can use it as a range finder, or you can use it as a single offensive wepon. (Quartey and his bazooka jab)

The guy Martinez fought before Barker, Sergi Dzinzurick, has a beautiful jab, I'd love to see him fight Cotto at 154.

When I was boxing as an amatuer, I'd shadow box 3 rounds throwing no punches, just moving my feet and upper body, I'd box 3 rounds just jabbing, working on co-ordinating blocks and parrys with it, then finally 3 rounds as you'd box an actual match.

^^^ That may be the longest, worst description of a jab, ever :tired

 

I can only gave Vasquez 3 rounds at most, That judge must be investigated.

 

:yep

 

I had itv 117-110 donaire, thought he clearly won.

 

Another Rican hypejob got exposed.

 

Yes, I had 114-113. :roll:

Here's how:

Donaire rounds - 1-4 (dominant) 5 (close, and many people even gave it to Vazquez...a majority of people providing scores on here, actually...yet I did not give Vazquez the benefit of the doubt in this one...), 9 (obviously 10-8, knockdown round)

Vazquez rounds - 6 (dominant), 7-8 (close, but continuing his momentum and good work from the sixth), 10 (rallied back from the KD very strong, surprised everyone including ND, blocked most of Donaire's shots), 11 (slower round, clearly out-jabbed Donaire; HBO's punch stats were bull****), 12 (stood toe to toe with Donaire and closed the show, not a lot between them but Vazquez hungrier)

Go actually watch it again before tripping over yourselves asking "WTF OMG HOW?!?!?! atsch"

People thinking such a close card is impossible because Donaire "felt like" the clear runaway winner - well, that's because as you can see above, he had a greater number of dominant rounds. He schooled Vazquez through the first four, and knocked him down in the 9th. That's five very dominant rounds, whereas Vazquez only had the one (the sixth). There were still enough swing rounds among the rest for it to be close as 114-113, and Donaire did not put a stamp on any of the later rounds except the 9th the way he did early on - and if you disagree that's just too ****ing bad.

****s.

 

I honestly don't think Garcia paid attention during the match. I think he might've been making up **** thorughout the fight.

 

I had it two points to Nonito. Alot of people are very heavily influenced by the HBO commentary team, who more often or not talk up their network fighter.

 

That's what happens when you're rusty from taking so much time off IB.

I thought Donaire won that fight going away. Didn't score it, but 9 rounds to 3 sounds about right.

 

It was a horrible scorecard... but that's why they have 3 judges. It coulda been worse, 2 of the judges could have had it that way.
