I ask this because I've seen a few people on various sites say that they could see a draw or that they only had whitaker ahead 115-113. I personally (and being conservative) had it 116 - 112. Even though, those same people say.. well that isn't a definitive victory.. cause one round scored for chavez means there is only one round seperating them. So, what was your score for the fight. Second part question... Do you consider Whitaker vs. Ramirez 1 a worse robbery than Whitaker vs. Chavez? On one hand.. Whitaker won more rounds against Ramirez than Chavez and it was for the title.. but to me the CHavez fight was the bigger fight and the fight that people were looking at to really cement who was the p4p no. 1 fighter.. It was suppose to be pea's crowning moment and it was taken away from him. For that reason I view it as the worst of the decisions... thoughts?
7-5 Whitaker. I think. Been a while. And Ramirez got his ass kicked. My uncle hates pernell but even he says that sweet pea won that fight. That's a robbery.
Whitaker, 9-3. A much bigger robbery. A guy gets jobbed in his own country by a foreign fighter who happens to be connected to a shady promoter whose biggest meal ticket (Tyson) happens to be incarcerated and unable to provide said promoter with his usual big income. The whole thing just reeked. If memory serves, several Don King fighters were suddenly getting these favorable outcomes when Tyson was behind bars (Nelson-Fenech I)
I've scored it too many times, I think I went this way the last time. Chavez: 1,2,12 Whitaker: 3,4,6,7,8,10 & 11. Rounds 5 and 9 even. Anywhere from 9-3 to 7-5 is a reasonable. Ramirez & Chavez decisions are pretty close to each other as bad decisions. I'll say the Chavez fight was the bigger rip off because Pea did minimal punching in the second half of the Ramirez fight and a lot of running. He looked bad there. By contrast, he didn't really have any down moments in the Chavez fight and in fact totally controlled him from the 3rd round on.
