I think I gave him 10 rounds plus the KD. I probably could have given him 11 rounds. The fight wasn't even close and is another example of absolute corruption. Maestre tried some BS at the beginning with the tape and got no reprimand, and then whatever system they were using to score which punches landed made the fight look closer than it was. I don't believe those numbers at all. Nobody that watched that fight could have scored it honestly for Maestre. Now what happens is that he has another loss on his record, and when it's all said and done that's what people will look at.
A year from now if he tells people he won the fight he will have people say "no, clearly you lost because it's a loss on your record". It's an absolute disgrace. The kid obviously put time in the gym to learn from his last fight where he lost to a pressure fighter. He had naysayers like me thinking he was going to get blown-out against a former Olympian. Then he turns around and shocks everyone by winning a fight easily (probably as a huge underdog) and they took it away from him. All those hours in the gym sparring and training and to get screwed like that is heartbreaking.
The regulars here should really watch this one and let me know if I'm out of line here. It's such a bad decision that there has to be a betting fix or something going on.
