==Notes==
Media and fans were divided as to which boxer deserved the verdict. Many observers felt that Mormeck was the rightful winner because of his superior aggression. But others derided the verdict as a hometown decision, noting that two of the judges (both of whom voted for Mormeck) and the referee were appointed by Mormeck's promoter. The third judge, appointed by the WBA, favored Ibragimov.

According to Eastsideboxing's James Slater, "Last night in Paris, France, 38-year-old former cruiserweight king Jean Marc Mormeck won a very close and hard-fought 12-round split decision over the never-stopped Timur Ibragimov of Uzbekistan. Contesting the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) international heavyweight title, as well as being very important in terms of world ratings, the fight was one that could conceivably have gone either way. In the end, two of the judges went for “The Marksman,” voting for him by scores of 116-111, 116-112 (both scores seemingly too wide), while the third official scored the fight for the visitor, at 115-113."

Ibragimov was penalized a point in the tenth. As seen by fight scribe Johnny Walker, "With Ibragimov now coming on strong, French referee Jean-Louis Legland interestingly picked this time to stop the fight and deduct a point from him for hitting behind the head."

<fight>1502059</fight>
 

==Notes==

Most media reports had Oquendo easily winning the bout, which was judged and refereed exclusively by French officials. As reported by ESPN Chief Boxing Analyst Dan Rafael, "On the road in Mormeck's home country, Oquendo got the shaft. Mormeck, a former unified cruiserweight titlist fighting in his second bout at heavyweight following a two-year layoff, probably isn't going anywhere as a heavyweight based on this performance. The three judges had it for Mormeck, 96-95 (twice) and 96-94. Pathetic. Watching the DVD, I had it more like 98-92 for Oquendo. Maybe you could give Mormeck another round or two, but to have him winning is preposterous. Oquendo appeared to land harder shots than Mormeck and he was way busier. Square Ring, Oquendo's promoter, had CompuBox compile punch statistics off the DVD, and the numbers illustrate the fight that I saw. According to the stats, Oquendo landed 158 of 745 punches, while Mormeck landed just 103 of 331 blows. It's a candidate for robbery of the year."

==CompuBox Statistics==
In addition to his superior punch output and connection rate (as noted by Rafael), Oquendo outjabbed Mormeck by a margin of 38 to 11, and landed more powerpunches by a rate of 120 to 90.

== Notes ==
[[File:Oliver McCall vs. Fres Oquendo (poster).jpg|right|300px]]
The bout took place in McCall's hometown of Hollywood, Florida. Many observers believed Oquendo did more than enough to deserve the decision.

According to correspondent Johnny Walker, "The fight was mostly marked by McCall plodding slowly forward and Oquendo parrying his advances and moving out of danger. To this writer, "Fast Fres" seemed to be getting the better of the action for most of the contest, landing cleaner and more frequent shots in a bout that mostly lacked any sense of rhythm. McCall's lurching forward movement often found him falling in too close to his opponent and unable to punch effectively. He had a few moments of joy, however, such as in the 10th round when he cut Oquendo with a powerful left jab. More often, he allowed himself to be tied up and negated."

==CompuBox Statistics==
Oquendo outlanded McCall in total punches (146-119), and was the busier fighter, throwing 44 more shots overall. Oquendo also had a 99-51 edge in jabs landed. In ten of the 12 rounds, Oquendo landed more total punches.

Mormeck, a former unified cruiserweight titlist fighting in his second bout at heavyweight following a two-year layoff, probably isn't going anywhere as a heavyweight based on this performance. The three judges had it for Mormeck, 96-95 (twice) and 96-94. Pathetic. Watching the DVD, I had it more like 98-92 for Oquendo. Maybe you could give Mormeck another round or two, but to have him winning is preposterous. Oquendo appeared to land harder shots than Mormeck and he was way busier. Square Ring, Oquendo's promoter, had CompuBox compile punch statistics off the DVD, and the numbers illustrate the fight that I saw. According to the stats, Oquendo landed 158 of 745 punches, while Mormeck landed just 103 of 331 blows. It's a candidate for robbery of the year."

==CompuBox Statistics==
In addition to his superior punch output and connection rate (as noted by Rafael), Oquendo outjabbed Mormeck by a margin of 38 to 11, and landed more powerpunches by a rate of 120 to 90.

The bout took place in McCall's hometown of Hollywood, Florida. Many observers believed Oquendo did more than enough to deserve the decision.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/538124-oliver-mccall-beats-fres-oquendo-in-dull-split-decision According to correspondent Johnny Walker, "The fight was mostly marked by McCall plodding slowly forward and Oquendo parrying his advances and moving out of danger. To this writer, "Fast Fres" seemed to be getting the better of the action for most of the contest, landing cleaner and more frequent shots in a bout that mostly lacked any sense of rhythm. McCall's lurching forward movement often found him falling in too close to his opponent and unable to punch effectively. He had a few moments of joy, however, such as in the 10th round when he cut Oquendo with a powerful left jab. More often, he allowed himself to be tied up and negated."

==CompuBox Statistics==
Oquendo outlanded McCall in total punches (146-119), and was the busier fighter, throwing 44 more shots overall. Oquendo also had a 99-51 edge in jabs landed. In ten of the 12 rounds, Oquendo landed more total punches.
