Who you thought won the first Whitaker/Rivera fight?

Where is the draw option?

Pernell Whitaker vs. Wilfredo Rivera I: 115-115 Draw
Whitaker: 1,3,5,8 and 9.
Rivera: 6,7,10,11 and 12.
Rounds 2 and 4 even.

 

How the hell does Scientist smell these Whitaker threads brewing..........seems like he's always the first to respond to them.



This fight was'nt even close. Rivera used his height and reach to clearly outbox and outfight Whitaker.
Rivera won the fight clearly imo.

......but funny that the strongest of Pernell fans dont even put this fight as a mention when it comes to posting controversial decisions.

 

Yeah Scientist, I've often said around here that though I scored Chavez-Whitaker a draw, if I had to ultimately chose a winner, I'd have to give it to Whitaker based on that he was the winner of the two most telling rounds of that fight.

Who would you make the winner if you had to chose just one fighter?

Rivera clearly landed the most telling blows of the fight and most of the rounds, I dont think you could argue that?

 

Chavez-Whitaker a draw

I can't see it myself.

 

Whitaker didnt fight his best, he was starting to slide by then but he still won the fight.... its been a while since I watched it tho, Ive never seen their 2nd fight.

 

You would have to give Chavez every close round I think & even then, Whitaker never lost any round clearly & won 3 rounds very big himself... rds 3, 7 & 8.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:good You are so right i was gonna say the same thing until i read your post. Man these Whittaker nuthuggers always talk **** about him being robbed, but sure conviently forget the gift he got here:yep

This is the first thread ive seen here on ESB about this fight. I mean people ***** and moad about all these other contro decisions,but never this one.

Good thread Benny Blanco:good

 

Even the 2nd fight was very close i thought Pernell won but not by much. I forgot what i scored it but not any more than 2 point difference in the 2nd fight.

You say Whittaker was starting to slide well:think Put it this way Rivera had the style that would have given any Pernell trouble.
Pernell was starting to decline but not that much he was still at about 90% when he fought Rivera.

 

Rivera finished the stronger, so he looked the winner at the end. There weren't many 'big rounds' in the fight as far as I remember. It was quite the stinkfest the whole way through.

 

You watched it last night but don't have your round by round? What happened to it?

Anyone else going to bother putting up a scorecard for this fight or are we all just going to claim it was a robbery?

 

It's in the toilet with the rest of the bull**** he spouts:deal
