    Competitive doesn't mean indiscernible.


    You can win a sprint race by a foot, and everyone will see that you crossed the line first with one step ahead as the winner, but to say the guy one foot behind you wasn't giving you a competitive race would be incorrect. Get the difference? Whitaker won most of the rounds clearly, but not without Chavez trying every second to put forth effective offense and making Pernell work.

    Chavez was robbed. Pernell was running and low blowing all night. Pernell ruined the event.

    :good

    Whitaker clearly won no doubt, but it isnt this big 'ol schooling most of these Chavez haters make out to be...It is one of the most highest skilled fights shown by both fighters in the last 20 years.

    Pea-JCC was one of the biggest robberies inboxing history. Pea toyed with JCC at times.

    If he clearly won the round, he clearly won the rounds. to say the rounds where competitive implies that the rounds were closer then they were . . . this is not the 100m dash, its boxing which is more subjective and is judged. If you are saying put forth a great effort but was not good enough to win the rounds . . . that is different.

    I have yet to met a person who saw that fight that said Chavez won that fight, and most say it was the biggest robbery ever.

    You could start by giving Chavez at least some credit, for being very competitive at times as well, instead of acting like Pea dominated and embarassed him the whole entire time...You want embarrassing, dominating schoolings? Watch Calzaghe-Lacy, B-Hop-Tito, Winky-Tito, Pac-Cotto.

    Blame the stupid ass judges for robbing Pea, not Chavez who just showed up to do what he had to do, but came up short against an ATG with one of the worst stylstic nightmares for ANYONE around those weight divisions.
