Ive just rewatched the fight and had it 7-5 to Hardy with a KD to Carnizales so had Hardy winning by a point. I wouldnt call it a robery as some have because it was a really close fight with some rounds that could be scored either way. I know Carnizales slacked of in training but thats no excuse and i think Hardy should have been crowned champ that night. How did you guys have it?
115-114 Hardy Canizales: 1,4,6,9 ( 10-8 ). Hardy: 3,5,7,10,11 and 12. Rounds 2 and 8 even. Agree that it wasn't a robbery.
I aint seen the first fight, but the rematch is a dandy and Canizales really pulls it out against the tide.
Hardy the first time was also about the only ranked opponent Canizales fought during his title reign.
From memory I think i had Canizales 1 point up but it was one of them fights where I felt Hardy had won it until I added up my scorecard
Tough one... i don't really have an inclination one way or the other as to how this would go. Do you have any intimations on it yourself Mante?
I remember it well I thought Billy had just edged it,but there was no outrage with Canizales getting it,he did score a knockdown and that probably clinched it.
