Marquez-Barrera Round 7

The **** did you just say?

 

Lampley is absolutely awful. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why HBO keeps him on. If one of his favorite fighters is in the ring, he can't, for anything at all, keep from openly cheering for his guy. He cannot maintain professional impartiality and should not be a professional analyst. And make no mistake, Barrera is one of his all-time favorites.

Incidentally, he's one of mine too, but I had to turn the sound down during the Hamed fight for fear of wanting to start rooting for the arrogant Brit just to spite Lampley's clear desire. I'm also a big Jermain Taylor fan, being that i'm from Arkansas, but I got sick to my stomach listening to Lampley fawn over him during fights, especially fights I thought he lost, like Hopkins.

 

It shouldve been a 10 9 round to barrera. I dont no howe catching ur opponent bang on the chin and puttin him down isnt a knockdown. One of the worst calls iv seen. As a result barrera lost the round 10 8.

 

Marquez should've did a Dirrell an stayed down.

Come to think of it, Iran Barkley should've did a Dirrell an stayed down in the Benn fight also.

That round completely swung things in Marquez favour, it was defo a ligit knockdown by Barrera.

 

Marquez dominates the round...it's 10-9 to him.

Barrera catches lightning in a bottle and puts Marquez down with a right. 10-9 to Barrera.

Barrera has a point deducted. Should have been 9-9.

 

Even if it was called a knock down, Barrera would have lost a decision. Those score cards were rediculous, it was a lot closer than that.

 

Corruption was going on that night. The whole night was packed with unbelievably bad scoring. Hopkins/Forbes and De Leon/Penalosa.

 

No it wasn't. That fight was a clear case where the commentators made everyone believe that Barrera was doing better than he really was. He was being competitive, but still losing the majority of the rounds.

The judges, and everyone else sitting ringside, had it wide in JMM's favor as well. What's the difference between you and them? They didn't have to sit through biased HBO commentating all throughout the fight.

 

111-116
111-116
109-118

:verysad

 

It was a complete domination of a round for Marquez that it was actually bordering on going 10-8 for him even without the knockdown happening.


Had the knockdown been scored and MAB would not have fouled, I score such rounds even.

A clear 10-9 bordering on 10-8, being interrupted toward the end by a knockdown.

 

Exactly.

Nacho had made the blueprint for Marquez known beforehand saying that because MAB was the sentimental favorite and a legend to many peoples eyes, Marquez could not afford to wait and box Marco and let the fight play on the side of being on the uneventful side.

The less action occuring in a round, the more that a judge would feel he could give the round to the legend even in a case where Marquez may have been outboxing.

I said it myself in the leadup to that fight on this forum.
Because of MAB's name and status, JMM would have to be the clear aggressor and take the fight to MAB.

MAB did a good job in stretches using his jab, the only problem for him is that in the majority of the rounds, Marquez was willing to eat that jab so that he could land power, which he was clearly doing.

The bottom line in the fight was that Marquez landed the cleaner, harder, and more telling blows.......which was the Nacho gameplan to begin with.

 

In MAB's defense, a fighter is supposed to keep fighting until the referee stops him, either by calling a knockdown or coming between the fighters. It looked to me like MAB was waiting for Nady to call the KD, he stood there with his arm cocked and loaded for several seconds, and when nothing happened to stop the action he just shot the punch. He was probably pretty confused as to what the **** was going on, I know I was.

 

Good thing you're not a judge then. If a fighter scores a KD in a round in which he was being clearly beaten, then the correct thing to do is score the round 10-9 in favor of the fighter scoring the KD. Not 9-9, and you only do that in a situation where the fighter scoring the KD has been getting beaten pillar to post and totally dominated up to the point of the KD, which isn't what was happening. MAB was struggling, he had been hurt, but he was clear headed and fighting back.

 

Barrera is a ****...big suprise...
