Agreed, I like farhood. But he gave the first four rounds to edwin, which I saw rosinsky beating him up up rounds 2 to 4. I just dont like the commentators tone in general, at some points their giving rosinsky all the credit then they go right back to saying stuf like "fights can go anyway, you never know what the judges will score" its transparant and its bull****.
Yeah, when he said that it made me cringe. He's trying to make the point that rounds can be very close but still all swing by slight margins in the same guy's favor - which is a valid point, but just wasn't the case here at all. The first four as a clean sweep for Rodriguez is just wrong. Only the 1st was crystal clear for him (and that's a round that some rash scorers might have fumbled due to Rosinsky landing that eye-catching right hand).
It just pisses me off the most, that a great performance from this guy I never heard of. Instead of him getting the deserved win and us looking forward to seeing what he can do and where he could go from here... hes just a statistic and we probably wont ever see him again. Boxing isnt dying, its being killed.
hard to take the 0 from one of these guys but I thought Ros edged it, still a draw would have been perfect...hometown decisions and corrupt judging is ruining the sport.
There is crap in all sports, be it bad calls by officials or like in this case the judges. But as of lately boxing has been looking very bad. It's straight sad and pathetic :-(.
Yep, it use to be (just even as far back as a couple of years ago) where there were about 1 out of 10 fights were a robbery. This year, and lately, some crazy **** has been going on. People falling over and hurting their shoulder, blantant headbutts, and every single fight lately has been pretty much a robbery, or horrible horrible scorecards. **** is really getting out of hand.
:rofl No doubt, but hey, I'll take the odd fight being a robbery, boy back in those golden days. but yeah now I'm scared to even watch boxing when anybody else is watching because I know when the scorecards are announced the person(s) watching will just shake their head and say "Well, that's boxing for you," and just a couple of years ago I'd be able to defend boxing and be like "Well, this is just this one fight, watch a few more and it isn't like that," But now, no way I can't defend it because every fight has been a robbery, or terrible, terrible scorecards. It is sad. :verysad
Was clearly a case of giving a latino fighter, who is presumably more marketable, a big nod over a guy with a funny, polish-sounding last name. Boxing is extremely ****ed up. I had it a draw or slightly for Rodriguez, in no way did he dominate as the scores would have you beleive. It's not fair that a certain guy just because he is less marketable or less apealing from a money standpoint must work 3x as hard as the guy who is "supposed to win". Someone has to invent some sort of computer program to judge fights objectively.
I had it 6-4 for Edwin Rodriguez........And could definitely see a draw. Was there a slam dunk contest going on somewhere in the background?
