for those who saw the fight tonight. poles seem to think it should either be a close win or draw at worse for wolak...
You're partly wrong. I have no problem with either man winning and I think a lot of poles would not have an issue with D Rod getting the narrow nod. However, let's bear in mind that although Delvin clearly landed the more memorable punches and partly solved Wolak's swarming style, he still got hit with a lot of volume. This isn't just a case of Paul Williams throwing tons of shots and missing most of them. Wolak actually connected with most of his shots, except they weren't as pretty as Rodgriguez's. Nevertheless, these shots still have to count. Great fight and I think the judges got it right and would still get it right had they decided for either man by a narrow decission. There's actually an idiot running around here from the Dominican who claims this was a clear cut robbery. I told him a storm was coming so he ran off to the nearby Hilton.
Right, this wasn't the case of Williams being outlanded despite doubling the punch output, Wolak landed more punches undoubtedly. Rodriguez's came in flurries though.
I didn't score it. The most thinking I let get in the way of my enjoyment was to wish for ten more rounds, and hope for a draw, so that it'd happen.
I thought DR won it, as his shots overall were cleaner & he dominated the last 2 rounds, but I'm OK with the draw.
I actually scored this one. I had it 96-94 for Rodriguez. 95-95 is very understandable. Teddy had the 5th round even, also very sensible, making it 96-95 for Rodriguez. Teddy's card was dead on.
96-95 Rodriguez. Had round 7 a 10-10 round. Both had big moments in that round. Hell of a fight. I have no complaints with the judges' scoring or the decision.
Had it for Rodriguez but I'm fine with the draw. They should make more money in the rematch. A lot more I hope. How much hate do Atlas have for Klitschko??! Haha
I had it for Wolak but not by much and I don't mind the decision Im itching to see those 2 fight again, great action from two warriors.
I thought Rodriguez had a slight edge but was not upset with the draw. Great fight either way it went and I'm looking forward to the rematch. Wolak fought on with a distinct disadvantage having his eye swell and close up like it did. Kudos to him for continuing and not making an issue of it. He's a warrior in the truest sense. Unlike that broken toe guy---you know who I'm talking about.
