Diaz/Malinaggi fight...........
 
Did anyone see this fight the other night? Houston Texas was the site (Diaz hometown) I like Juan Diaz he seems like a nice kid. But Paulie Malanaggi in my opinion totally out boxed him the majority of the bout. One judge (also from Texas) had it for Diaz 118-110, a total JOKE! I am not saying Diaz didn't land some shots, he did but for the most part Paulie was sticking and moving, and was very speedy with his punches, and out threw and boxed Juan. All 3 judges had it for Diaz, only 1 judge had it a close fight it was nuts! That's the kind of decision that gives legit boxing a bad name, not suprising that it happened, but it pisses me off that it has happened again! If anyone saw it, would like to see other thoughts?

Was a great fight. No matter how big the gash was in Diaz' eye from the inadvertant headbutt, he kept pluggin along. I winced everytime they loaded that thing up with the vaseline. I agree that Malanaggi won the match, but he couldve closed the door a few times, but instead he let it get closer than it should have been. If only Malanaggi listened to his corner man, the scorecard wouldnt have mattered.

It was....
 
A great fight Delcan, but that score 118-112 for Diaz is an disgrace you know? Paulie was the better boxer, he made Juan chase him too much for Juan to consistantly land his shots. Like I said I like Juan he does keep plugging for sure, the decision just stunk in my opinion. Paulie was hot barking and hot doggin too much, maybe that played in the decision? I thought he got robbed though.

Are you kidding? He fought a winning fight and one joke of a judge gave him 2 rounds. Outside of a KO I dont see how he could have won last night. Sometimes boxing sucks.

118-110 10 rounds to 2
116-112 8 rounds to 4
115-113 7 rounds to 5

Chuck that's the only score that was even close! Although, they still had a different winner than the fight I saw, at least the points were not totally insane like the other putz! The whole thing has a total stench!

For a guy to score that fight 10 rounds to 2 is a joke. That guy should not be allowed to judge any longer if his judgement or vision is that bad. While I expected Diaz to win a narrow decision (I thought PM won but not overwhelmingly), to say that he won 10 or even 8 rounds is crazy.

The same time that HBO was showing the fight - a younger Diaz from 2002 was on ESPN classic fighting a former Mountaineer Park security guard.

It's simple, no more decisions, just keep on fighting until there is a winner

This would seem to be a tad extreme

It could have went either way. There were several rounds (I saw at least 3, possibly 4) that could've went either way.

115-113: Totally agree
116-112: Borderline agree, but a somewhat surprising score
118-110: Absolutely atrocious

It was a good fight nonetheless. Enjoyed watching it.

I like Malignaggi, but his post-fight rant was way too much. Yes, he was up against it (Diaz' hometown, Texas judges, etc.), but to whine and complain like he did was classless. If he can't handle it, find another job.

i had the bout 6-5 for Paulie going into the last round. Diaz won the last round therefore a draw on my scorecard

I think his rant was completely justified. He is a boxer, not a UN delegate. The fact was despite his camps attempts to get a fair fight prior to the fight by casting a spotlight on the judges, he did not get one. While I understand that boxing has no central authority, the two judges that had the fight scored lopsided despite the obvious scrutiny on them should be eliminated as judges.

I agree that he had a legit beef. I just didn't like the rant. I'm sure part of what he said can be blamed on just getting out of the "heat of battle" and he was still pumped up.

I also agree that the 1 judge who scored the bout lopsided needs to be removed. The 116-112 posted by the other judge is questionable (maybe even highly questionable), but as close as the fight was, he shouldn't be banned. Suspended -- maybe. But not banned.
