    How did yall score this fight? Did Pazienza do enough in your opinion to take the title from Haugen? I had it pretty even throughout but Vinny's energy and enthusiasm benefitted him greatly later in the fight. Greg Haugen fought an average fight and seemed he was fighting not to lose rather than fighting to win. Considering he was in Vinny's backyard, Haugen should've done more to have impressed the judges. I'm not saying that he fought a bad fight but he lacked the charisma that won Pazienza the title.

    I immensely dislike Pazienza's style of fighting and found the fight alot more boring to watch than others seemed have found it,but I thought Pazienza won the fight quite clearly based on superior workrate and consistency.Very littlle actual clean punching by Pazienza,but Haugen wasn't scoring with much consistency,either.The rounds weren't decisive by any means,but Pazienza seemed to do more to earn them than Haugen did.


    Haugen fought a more intelligent fight in the rematch and sat back allowed Pazienza the force the action more while he reverted back to his jab and counter punched more effectively.

    What sucks is that my dvr failed to record the second fight but recorded the third,when they were both former champs and only scheduled for 10 rds.
