I can’t believe it!!! It wasn’t the best fight in the world, but it was totally dominated by Walters. Even Roy Jones Jr. said it was a robbery and he is not very vocal normally.
what a surprise….Walters probably underestimate Sosa who is a good latino boxer
You mean he underestimated fighting a Goldenboy fighter in a Goldenboy promotion fight.
You thought the scores were fair, danielsan? I had it 10-2 Walters…. I really don’t see how it can be a draw, sorry my friend :)
how is it possible you hvae 10-2 if it was a ten round fights?!?!? ahahha you probably have 8-2…I didn’t score the fight but i think walters won by 2 or 3points
woops yes I meant 8-2 lol.
A lot of action in this fight but with judges that really s*ck because it was just a Walter fight. I cannot believe that one of those judges saw Sosa winning. Please don’t get me wrong, Sosa put a very good and impressive fight for a guy that hasn’t amateur records and started as a professional when he was 21 years old. However, he didn’t do enough in this fight to get a draw. Walter was much more accurate than him and connected most of the times the best punches of the fight. Sosa did well mainly on the 3 last rounds. The winner clearly was Walter. To be honest with you I don’t understand what is behind a such a wrong decision from all the judges involved. Shame to all them since are useless.
I disagree.
Waters is an HBO fighter and the commentators pushed HBO’s agenda. Also as a note – I had different contact numbers than combu box. I had it a close fight.
Either way – Waters can’t beat up on smaller men now.
Sorry but Darchinyan is a natural 116 ponder and Donaire is 122.
Not 126 fighting a 135lber.
Donaire is not a small guy. Donaire got the size to fight at 130 if he wanted to just like walters. Donaire actually got a taste of his own medicine when Walters whooped his a*s. Now hes back down to 122 struggling to make the weight lol.
Sosa clearly won this fight.
Jorge sorry but this is a very unfair comment you should watch the fight again.
How did you come to his conclusion. there is no way sosa won his fight. it was close but clear win for walters. had it 116 111
Sure he did……. =/
You must be Puerto Rican to come out with some silly sh*t like that
“According to CompuBox punch statistics, Walters landed 281 of 622 punches (45 percent), and Sosa landed 168 of 873 (19 percent). Walters also led 118 to 39 in body punches landed ”
He landed over 100 more punches!!! AND at higher perentage
You sound like a hater bro, real talk. Yardie did the better work and landed the harder punches. End of.
No must be black and blind. Sosa did more work and landed more. He hit him with that straight left like 100 times. Go watch wwe
Jorge, more than 4 days ago i have recommended you to watch the fight again. Have you done so? If you don’t please do it but this time put your glasses on and be fair, I mean totally impartial if you are able to be so.
On the other hand, the question here is not being black or white it is really about partial or impartial people and honestly you are extremely partial. Thanks God you are not a boxing judge since we actually have plenty of so many bad ones like these “three stooges” involved in this fight. Therefore, please man think and avoid to be guided just for “emotions”. I know about that because i’m Latino too.
Merry Christmas
Este ha sido uno de los peores fallos que he visto en mi vida,
Sosa es bueno pero no estuvo a la altura de Walters. Por lo cual tu posicion es indefendible al igual que la que tomaron estos jueces que son una verdadera desgracia para el boxeo.
Feliz Navidad
Look I believe it was a close fight but Sosa was more aggressive and more active. He moved forward the majority of the time. Again anyone could have won this fight it was close but I have Sosa winning. U say other wise and I understand just don’t agree. If u ever boxed u would know it’s harder to be the aggressive one. And especially when u not the harder hitter. So when it comes to boxing Sosa boxed better in my eyes. And yes I did watch the fight again.
Jorge, justamente mientras me contestabas le hice algunas correcciones a mi comentario original, por favor miralas.
Lamentablemente la parcialidad te nubla la vista, agresion cuando no sos capaz de conectar los golpes no cuenta para triunfar.
El boxeador que conecto con mas precision y golpeo mejor fue Walters. Sosa es bueno pero a Walters le robaron la pelea.Sin embargo aprecio mucho que defiendas la posicion de los tuyos aunque no tengas una logica razon. Pero no te expongas pues tu opinion aqui ha sido muy discutida y ya se sabe de tu parcialidad.
Y aqui le pongo punto final a esta discucion.
Yea but I feel he won more rounds u must be black . Dude did hit harder but rico boxed better.
1) Im not black so your wrong there
2) You tell me what rounds you thought Sosa won because Im scratching my head here in utter confusion at your comment…..
Borricua Pride would support a Sosa win but in truth The Yardie won Jamaica! Jamaica! I say this at least it was not a loss cuz it could hav been a total hijacking of Walters in this Fight.
If Sosa landed more then why did compu box have him landing less (Over 100 punches less)
