***Who else was disgusted with the Malignaggi-Cano decision?***

^ This.

The announcers were clearly paid to spin it in Paulie's favor. - and even they stumbled a few times when they looked at the stats.

I wanted Paulie to win, but he didn't.
Anyone who thinks otherwise either DKSAB or is a butthole with an agenda.

 

Cano over weight with a cut owned the **** out of paulie...

cano needs better conditioning even though he never got tired, im assuming he could do better with not a flabby stomach lol... but he had great stamina none the less, would love to see him at 140 vs the top dogs, or better conditioned at 147 against maidana and guerrero or something.

made me a fan with his heart in the morales fight, and now he made me a bigger fan...!

 

I'm not sure who Cano is, maybe a Mortal Kombat character? Probably had no business being in the ring with the King of Twitter.

 

I see alot more people who scored the fight for Malignaggi, the people who scored it for Cano are just alot more vocal right now...

 

X 2

I'm glad most people can appreciate it being a close fight, and nowhere near a robbery.

Calling Paulie/Cano a robbery just makes that term utterly useless in the future.

But it's ok. Slugger3000 thought that Margarito got robbed by Cotto in the rematch.

 

I find it impossible that anyone would believe that Malignaggi won this fight or even that it was close. Cano won 8-9 rds easily plus the knockdown.

Just look at the punch stats, 647 of Malignaggi's punches were jabs! He threw 826 punches, so over 80% of his punches were weak jabs and he only landed 26% of his jabs. How can anyone give him rds for just throwing jabs, especially his kind of jab, its a weak, flicker of a jab. It has no power in which one could say its a clear hard landed shot. Its not used to set up any power punches or combinations. He just throws it because he has no other punch in his arsenal.

When people claim there were close rds and they gave them to Paulie. Well you have to ask yourself how do you judge the close rd? Usually you give it to the aggressor who landed the harder,cleaner shots. How can you justify giving Paulie the close rds based on his flickering jab? He did not land any power shots or combinations in order to get a nod for any close rds, and he was obviously not the aggressor nor was he dictating the pace of the fight. So judging the close rds, they easily should of gone to Cano.

Again the punch stats, Paulie throws 826 punches, well over 80% were jabs. He only threw 157 power shots and even more pathetic he landed only 57 power shots. He landed only 57 power shots out of a total of 826 thrown punches! That's pathetic. Cano's jab was more effective and it showed, even though Paulie landed more jabs, Cano landed a higher % of jabs and there effects were noticeable when he landed them compared to Paulie's. For God's sake Cano landed 44% of his power shots!, he doubled Paulie's power shot output! he landed a much higher % of overall punches than Paulie, 35% compared to a paultry 26% for Paulie.

Again if Paulie landed a Miguel Cotto type jab this would be a different story, but his weak jab is not effective and he should not be given close rds based on just the sheer # he threw.

As far as the announcers there pure one sided-ness for Paulie was obvious, except for Barry Tompkins. He pointed out the shots Cano was landing especially when Al Bernstein would say something ridiculous. He was much more fair in his analysis. He was the only announcer that called it like it was, his commentary was indeed in line with Cano winning the fight and he did not let Bernstein get away with giving Paulie too much credit and giving Cano too little credit. Al Bernstein is a joke anyway. He's a pathetic lounge singer with a meek ability as a commentator. He's "wishy washy", he always tries to have it both ways. He can never call it it like it is. Its always, comments like this: "it could have gone both ways", "the ref taking a point away was called for or maybe it was not" . He has no guts to stand up to bad decisions, bad refs, bad judges, cheating fighters. He is a moral coward.

By the way why the hell would Showtime choose Trout as an announcer, he's pathetic. What the hell is wrong with Showtime. Don't they do any try outs with potential announcers. I mean he was just plain awful. First Stevie Johnston, who I liked as a fighter, was sad, by constantly saying,"Its a barn burner ladies and gentleman!" as if its a 1940 radio broadcast and now Trout who's tone and weak voice was as if Michael Jackson was commentating. Plus do they really need 7 guys on their commentating team.

But again for anyone to have Paulie winning this fight whether it be by 1 point or several points it either shows your bias or your ignorance about boxing. Those who gave the fight to Paulie are basically saying he won this fight with his meek jab. And when you see the punch stats, reality sets in and the truth is revealed, Cano won this fight clearly!

 

Cano embarassed Paulie's ***** ass.

 

yes, it was a tragedy, because i had paulie clearly winning that fight. they were some ****ed up score cards. just like the N'dam vs quillin fight.

cano didn't really land all that much until the last two rounds. up until then he was getting his face all smashed in with the jab. so if you think that cano won, then you're just as crazy as those judges. he was no where near winning.

 

Cano didn't land much? You don't know what the **** you are alking about.

Cano landed the right on the top repeatedly.
Cano landed heavy body shots consistently every round.

 

This post has got to be a joke right? By saying Cano barely landed anything in the last 2 rds! That is nuts, you do recall 1 punch he landed in the 11th that Knocked Paulie on his ass??? You claim Cano did not land much, well compared to Paulie he landed more. So if you use this type of analysis, then you have to look at what Paulie threw and the facts show Cano did more in the 11th, 12th rds.

"Getting his face smashed with the jab" Are you ******ed, no one has ever gotten their face smashed with a Paulie Malignaggi jab. So you are giving the fight to Paulie based entirely on the use of his jab??? Well then you are saying Paulie 26% of landed jabs won him the fight compared to Cano's 35% of overall punches that landed. By the way Cano landed a higher % of jabs than Paulie and Cano's jab is a much better jab than Paulie. You are obviously a fan of Paulie and your only way of defending this decision is Paulie's weak ass jab.
Let me ask you or anyone who defends this decision. What is the basis of scoring a close rd? The close rds in this fight u all obviously gave to Paulie, so explain why you awarded the specific close rds to PAulie??

 

Trout was bad as an announcer but make no mistake, Cotto's ass is in real trouble.:yep

 

Not disgusted but really disappointed that Paulie thought he won that convincingly. I had Cano by 2 points, but in reality it only takes a close round to swing two points. I'm not going to argue a 1 point win for Paulie. It sure looked like Cano did a lot more though. Paulie's only offense was his jab.
