GGG vs Jacobs
#11
Close fight, but like always the Champ gets the close rounds. That did it. You gotta beat the champ to become the champ.

The Gonzalez fight went against that, I thought he was doing enough to give him his belt back...

GGG is one of my favourite fighters, but I had him losing that fight. Like you said, Gonzales should have won.

So, can I believe the Gonzalez stats but not the GGG one? GGG must have won the fight in the earlier to middle rounds. Would be great to have a rematch of both fights.

Joe Cortez: The judges made a mistake, Chocolatito won the fight
By Hesiquio Balderas

Hall of Famer and former world championship referee Joe Cortez now working as an analyst for ESPN talked to the Spanish-speaking media after the Golovking-Jacobs event. Cortez had a few words of encouragement for Roman Gonzalez after his defeat against Sor Rungvisai and also criticized the judges working the fight.

“Chocolatito won the fight clearly, there’s no doubt about it. I had Roman up in my scorecard by six points. It seems like the judges were watching a different fight than me and the audience, they made a mistake,” commented Cortez.

“I believe the position of the judges doesn’t help, the need to have a better position. They are missing a lot of punches, it doesn’t seem right, I’ve been saying for years the need to put the judges in a higher position, I was watching the fight from a higher angle and saw that Gonzalez connected the better punches.

“To me, Roman shouldn’t feel discouraged because he actually won the fight. A rematch should be next for him and remember even Muhammad Ali lost and it didn’t affect his career. To me, Chocolatito is still the best fighter in the world pound for pound.”

I have always wondered why the judges aren't elevated somewhat. Makes sense for Tennis Umpires Smile

I've sat ringside several times. Can't see the punch if a fighter has his back to you. You can only see the punch if there's an angle showing both boxers.
