Don't understand HBO ANYMORE! DONAIRE, PAC, etc!

There is a difference though again, Molinas shots the ones that he did land were having an effect on Kirkland they made Kirkland think twice before just rushing this guy.
Yes he did clinch but so did James as well he was buzzed from a pretty decent right hand that came from Molina, the shots Matebula was throwing didnt have that kind of mustard on them either.

The shots Abril was scoring had about the same effect as the african from last nights fight

 

I think people who question the scoring should re watch this fight again Sober perhaps

 

The fight was compeitive but Nonito clearly won....HBO was objective....they were trying very hard to give the lesser known Mathebula credit for the jab early on when that was pretty much the only form of offense he had before finding his rhythm. Nonito was winning the early rounds by muggin' Mathebula but Nonito became predictable with the constant attempts to land the left hook....Mathebula took advantage of the flawed gameplan by ND and made the later rounds closer.
