Diaz/Malinaggi fight...........

[SniperSB23]

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.
