Sergio Martinez vs Miguel Cotto June 7th HBO PPV

[Baby Face Finster]

Can't say Melendez didn't deserve the loss because of his repeated low blows.What a moron.

[gilgamesh]

I thought for sure once I heard the 97-91 score that they had given it to Melendez. Only 1 judge scored the fight correct and that was the 94-94 scorecard.

Yeah I had no problem with the even scorecard. The other two are pretty ridiculous. Melendez had a harder than expected night, but I felt he eked this one out just barely.

Officially he did not though. Tough break for him. Unbelievable luck to get this opportunity on short notice and that judging for Maciel.

someone had a thread in current earlier complaining about how the undercard was
going to suck. I'm pissed I missed that andy lee fight. I just saw the result and didn't
expect that. this could be a good fight, here

[Baby Face Finster]

Sorry I meant round 4 not 5 was Maciel's round. That was undoubtedly a 10-7 round for Maciel.

You missed some awesome sh*t with the Lee vs Jackson fight. I expected that one to be an exciting bout. It was way more fun than I would've thought, and the KO was KO of the Year type sh*t.

[Baby Face Finster]

I could see the 1st, 4th, 7th, 9th, and 10th for Maciel.

When they said 97-91 I actually thought it was going to Maciel, because he took the 7th and 10th fairly clearly imo.

The reason I said I thought it would go to Melendez was because he was the Puerto Rican fighter in New York City. If anyone was supposed to get robbed on the cards you'd expect it to be the foreign fighter.

10-8 sonsona here

[Baby Face Finster]

Wow, wild night so far.

So much for the people who were complaining about the shitty undercards. Every fight so far tonight has been pretty good entertainment.
