    The reason i post this thread cause of Freddy very biased towards Mexican fighters. The question i have to him and everybodyelse is which of those 2 fights ( don't give me another fights i didn't mention. Just this 2 fights.) Was really a robbery??

    Mares vs Perez was one of the closer fights ive seen in quite some time. I had Mares 7 rounds to 5 but a draw is a good score. There where some rounds where Mares was moving and not punching very effectivly I think those 3-4 rounds are why he doesnt have a title right now. Id love to see a rematch great fight this could headline a Showtime card next time IMO.

    I scored Mares vs. Perez a draw. It was close and it would be hard to make a case for Perez winning, but I think a draw is still reasonable. Perez took control in the middle rounds. I had him winning five in a row.

    Exactly what i thought on the fight. As 1 of the commentators said, this rivalry could turn into a marquez-vasquez situation with multiple fights. If theyre anything like last night, I really hope so. :happy

    whitaker easily beat chavez. mares and peez was extremely close. so whitaker vs chavez was really a robbery.

    No one established themselves as superior in Perez vs. Mares. It's that simple. This was not a robbery. Just a close fight with muddy rounds for scoring.

    of course, but you're comparing two totally different types of fights......

    perez vs mares was one of the very few fights in california where I actually agree with the judging. Very fair imo

    I had Mares by one point but definetly could see a draw or someone having it for Perez. Definetly not a robbery at all, could've gone either way.

    Whitaker-Chavez is one of the big robberies in recent years. I don't recall my exact scoring but I think I gave Chavez 2 rounds. Mares-Perez was a very tight fight, I had it 7-5 for Mares but there were some very close rounds and I gave more of those to Mares than Perez. Anywhere from 7-5 for either fighter is fine. A draw was a solid decision, and will hopefully lead to a rematch.

    Mares/Perez was no robbery.

    Unless you had a real hardon for Mares for some reason?
