Paul Williams is coming off as a real douche bag. In the preview before the fight tonight, the guy was trying to say Lara didn't show up to fight him and that there is no reason to dispute the decision. What a jackass. Lara beat the living **** out of him. Now you have this dick head Cloud who got owned tonight trying to say he knows he won the fight, and saying Campillo can't take a punch. Well guess what clown, he took your best shots, got up and then handed you your ass. How can these so called "men" live with themselves getting undeserved wins and then having the nerve to say they won and everyone else is wrong when we all saw it with our two eyes. Just pathetic.
You're not american right? If not then i guess you wont mention Helenius bs decision win over Chisora in which Helenius thought he won the fight?
I think on the one hand, being in the ring makes you able to subjectively downplay the shots you take and overrate the shots you land, and on the other, unless you are 100 % sure you deserved to lose the fight, everybody hassling you over the outcome is going to **** you off and make you want to express a solid opinion on the matter and leave it in the past. Though I agree, fighters in general should at least admit that it's viable for the public to have seen it go their opponent's way whenever there's a robbery in question.
Most of the time, when fighters *lose* a decision (particularly a close one), they'll insist they won. If they're given a decision, no matter how absurd it is, they're never going to admit defeat. They don't want to admit to themselves that they were beaten by a better man - getting their hand raised means they don't have to. It's embarrassing to see someone insult our intelligence but I'm more concerned with the consistently incompetent judging which puts us all in this position.
P won a questionable decision. Get the **** over it. Many many many other fighters have done the same thing. And some have done it while not even being the aggressor, or having out-thrown their opponent.
I am American. I don't get to see the Euro's fight as much as I want. From what I hear Chisora beat him convincingly and If Helenius thinks he won then he can go on the list as well.
Juan Diaz Vs. Malinagi Dela Hoya Vs. Strum the list goes on and on....... Judges that screw up that bad should be fired.
Exactly. I will criticize Williams for his suspect punch resistance, but I will never attack him for saying he won! What the hell is he supposed to do, say he LOST when he got the ****ing decision?? atsch
Lara destroyed him. It was getting to the point were people were fearing for his health because of how many clean shots he was taking. What I don't like is how he was not only saying he won, but he is trying to say Lara didn't show up to fight him as if he was running away, he wasn't running...he was boxing and beating the **** out of Pwill on the process. Same with Cloud last night, they clearly lose, not only claim they won, but then discredit the other guy as if he didn't do **** when in fact he dominated them.
He knew he lost, you can tell by his reaction at the end of the fight. Then when he gets his gift, he then claims he knew he won and that Lara wasn't **** and there is no need for a rematch.
I don't understand why some people want to turn the other cheek and say get over it when a travesty like this goes down....It is awful for our sport and more people need to speak up over it. Williams-Lara was not close, Campillo-Cloud was not close. Both Blatant robberies.
