picked Beltran but wouldn't of been so disgusted at the draw if one judge hadn't scored it 115-112 Burns. many in the chat were saying draw or Beltran and the jokes about it being a majority draw were coming in thick and fast BEFORE it was announced.
Burns didn't win the 11th and the 6th was a close round as well.
116 111 on my card. Best I could possibly see for Burns is a 114 113 loss.
As many on here know I hate the word robbery, but this was one plain and simple. Several rounds weren't close and Beltran clearly won 7 rounds with a knock down as well. No debate, this was a robbery plain and simple and the commentators said it best afterwards. Hell one of them said if the rolls were reserved the Brits would be screaming about a robbery. Easily the worst score card of the year imo.
The 115-112 Burns card was terrible. The others weren't. From what I saw, which was more than 80% of the fight, it was close. I've seen worse robberies this year.
Anyone else impressed with Beltran's chin? Ricky's clean right hands just bounced off him and he didn't even blink or seemed fazed ever at all.
I think the dislocated jaw had a lot to do with Ricky's power as well. As he said, he focused on just surviving and not getting hit on the jaw. Round 1 and 2 he looked much sharper and his punches had more snap behind them.
