The 13th round with freddylokz - paulie malignaggi vs juan diaz

LoL of course you scored the fight for Diaz. That image makes ten times more sense than any of your actual reasoning. :rofl

 

That was awful, swearing your ass off in anger makes it seem more of a UFC type thing. You have to be biased to score that fight anything more then a draw for Diaz, this fight qualifies as a bonified robbery. An MD or SD would have been just a hometown decision but a wide UD is a robbery.Paulie made Juan look awful, deal with it.

 

Nice vid.

Oh, and I pissed my pants at 2:30 when you were saying "that was the worst robbery I've seen in the last 15 years... man, cmon man!".

 

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but Jacobs should not have been getting hit by those wide lopping shots of Ishe Smith. If he plans on taking the best shots from much more accomplished hard hitters like Kelly Pavlik then he'll find himself in a world of hurt. That said, plenty of time for Jacobs, I think they should take more tough opponents like Ishe Smith, he isn't ready for top 10 opposition in my estimation. He's close.

As for the main event, I felt Paulie won the fight. I will not shout robbery, but the fight was predetermined even before the opening bell rang. There is no possible way anyone could justify the 118-110 scorecard, and even the 116-112 card is a little hard to digest. Paulie swept most of the later rounds in my estimation, and Paulie was right on point in his point fight interview. He wasn't robbed, but the scorecards suggest even in the event that he dominated Juan Diaz, the fight wouldn't have gone his way regardless. Poor form.

I hope to see Juan Diaz get motivated again, and bring the usual constant pressure that we are accustomed to seeing of him. The Diaz that fought Marquez was a hell of a lot more impressive than the one who fought Paulie. As for Paulie, I hope he gets another shot at a title very soon, and milks this business for as much money as possible before he decides to bow out. He's a great guy, speaks from the heart, and has never shown an ounce of quit in him.

 

you're right about commentators affecting the way people think. HBO and Showtime go too far with this

 

The crowd are even more influential than the commentators in situations such as this one. Juan Diaz had his entire hometown in the crowd that night, and every time he let his hands go, irrespective of whether he landed or not, the crowd would go absolutely crazy. It's almost impossible for us to ignore, and equally impossible for the panel of judges to ignore. That said, even under such circumstances, no neutral judge could have scored that 118-110 for either guy. Horrendous. Boxing needs to take charge and make sure that guy never gets to score a fight again, at any level.

 

exactly, and what was worse was in lots of rounds the crowd was dead silent in lots of parts, that should tell you something as well....

 

^True with the last two post.

 

you are joke indeed.

 

Nice video Freddy, I agree with all your assessments of the fights last weekend.

Most ESB'ers are morons, and that card proved it, check it:

The ESB Consensus:

Daniel Jacobs is garbage, no power, gonna be KTFO soon.
Robert Guerrero is garbage, no heart, and will beat soon.
Paulie got robbed, Juan got dominated, boxing is dying.

The TRUTH:

Daniel Jacobs was in against a guy nobody looks good against and gutted out a nice win. He's young, and if he can learn from fights like this, than all the better.

Robert is a good fighter, not elite, but we all knew that. He's tough, he get's a bad wrap from the Yordan fight, and he's proven two fights in a row that was a fluke, and he gutted out a win, closed strong against a very tough fighter. It was a great win, and good performance.

Paulie wasn't robbed, it was a close fight, it was a good fight, and Paulie got what he wanted the whole time, a platform to talk about how Paulie always get's screwed, history shows that's not true.

 

boxing isnt dieing, but politics makes it hard for some people to enjoy, paulie made diaz look silly at moments and ill say theres no way paulie deserved to lose that fight
