Zalenzuela vs Colbert

Post by Boxingguru75 »

Anyone else have that an appalling robbery? Not sure Valenzuela lost a round what I saw. Not even close.

I backed Colbert to win; no way he deserved that decision in my view. 96-93 against him.

It was a closer fight for me, I felt Colbert deserved a draw at best, but no way he won the fight.

Valenzuela was the one that was dictating most of the fight, landing the bigger more hurtful shots. Colbert looked to be in a bit of trouble a few times in the fight, including getting knocked down in the first round.

Colbert did use his jab nicely and it seemed Valenzuela stepped off the gas a bit in the second half and did next to nothing in the championship rounds.

I had it 95-94 Colbert, scoring the same rounds as two of the judges. If you wanted to have the fight the same score the other way for Valenzuela, that would be fine too. I think the fight really came down to the 10th round, for me at least. If you gave the 10th to Valen with that last second flurry, he wins 95-94. If not, Colbert wins the fight.

I guess you could say this was a close or controversial decision, but I don't see how anybody could call it a robbery honestly.
