Did anyone just see this? And more importantlly, did anyone agree with the decision? I just threw out my piece of paper with my score on it out of frustration but I had Gonzalez up by around 3 rounds! I know decisions aren't always going to go the way I see them, but this one was EASY to score. ESPN's punch count even had Gonzalez landing around 100 more punches than Le Houllier, and he was FAR FAR busier, throwing over 1000 punches, while Le Houllier threw less than 50! I thought that was a CLEAR decision for Gonzalez, very easy to judge, I didn't even think for a SECOND that any other decision than a win for Gonzalez was going to be announced. The clowns , er I mean the judges had it a draw. LeHoullier's people even knew he was way behind, they told him so in between rounds towards the end of the fight, even mentioning at one point that he needed a knock out to win! Anyone else see this BULL****?
It was a horrible decision. Absolutely horrible. I think 8-4 Gonzales is about the closest one could score it...because it wasn't even close. Gonzales outworked and beat up LeHoullier. This **** pisses me off. There are few other sports where judges can get away with this blatantly biased bull****.
Very boring fight. Gonzalez outworked the other guy certainly, but the hometown guy usually gets the nod.
Eh, biased is Lewis-Holyfield I, this is just ridiculous. I just don't get it. I remember after Lewis-Holyfield I one of the judges that had a strange score said openly "Watch the tape with me I'll show you how I scored it!" But what could those fools possibly say about this fight? Theres just no WAY this is HONEST bad judging. If a judge is terrible, whatever I guess it happens. But there has got to be something fishy going on with this one...
Haha! Bul**** score in both fights. Un****ingbelievable. First one was more of a robbery though. Gonzales deserved this **** for sure.
Boring???? Are you nuts? Gonzalez is a tough kid. He was in the ring sparring before he started the first grade. Tough kid from a gym where I live. I had a gut feeling that he was going to get robbed. It is not the first time either.
And to think some people still have their heads in the sand that robberies only happen in Europe and Asia.
I loved the moment when Gonzalez lost his mouthpiece, so he grabbed it off the floor and just put it back in his mouth, then Eddie Cotton made him take it out and have the trainer put it back in. But yeah, it was a completely inexcusable robbery.. nothing new for these kind of situations. Gonzalez will still be able to get on ESPN airwaves in the future after this performance so I don't think it will affect his career horribly.
