    Martinez won the fight, it was not even close! At least Max Kellerman and Lampley admitted it!

    Imagine if Martinez had had time to train for the fight?! He would have knocked Williams out! Williams does not want a rematch either.

    Here is your American judge; Pierre Benoist

    I think others and Keith have done so fairly. You make a good point, and I agree with your next post responding to Keith of Martinez being robbed of neutral scoring due to that one judge. I suppose being robbed of neutral scoring is being robbed since you aren't giving a fair shake. But in terms of the actual fight - you can't say either fighter was robbed since they both deserved to win. One judge really just robbed boxing of the little integrity that it had.

    When did Kellerman admit to anything. Even Howard Lederman who gave the fight to Williams, said it was a close fight. And if Martinez had time to train fight? Williams was training for Pavlik for months, after Pavlik bitched out more than once, he also took this fight in a months notice; agaisnt maybe the best 154 pounder who happens to be a slick, quick southpaw.

    I thought that Martinez won a close fight, but to call it a robbery is absurd.
    The one judge was off his cake but no way was it a robbery.

    I outlined in my initial post that the fight could have gone either way. It was a close fight, but Sergio Martinez was robbed, in a sense, because he wasn't giving a fair shake, as you say. Admittedly, it's 5am here, and I rushed my first post. :thumbsup

    Max Kellerman and Lampley admitted Martinez won the fight live on HBO!

    Pierre Benoist = here is a true Williams judge, a real criminal.

    Doesn't it blow your mind that nothing at all is going to be done about it, and that Pierre dumb-ass will be judging a fight in the near future?

    119-110 is too far into the realm of stupidity to be an intentional robbery. If you were going to try and misjudge a close fight you wouldn't do it so openly!

    Kellerman didn't admit to anything, as usual your making stuff up.

    Go look at where all the people giving it a draw or very close are from then we shall see who is ignorant.

    It's inconceivable to me that anyone could have only credited Martinez with a single round, as the corrupt French judge did. Nobody is that incompetent.

    I completely agree with that.
