I can’t believe the decision!!!! It is a shame, an awful shame. Salido dominated with his usual pitbull style! No more than 3 rounds for Martinez on my part in this absolute war! Fight of the year candidate. I hope they organize a third one. I am really pissed at the decision!!!
Salido got robbed, disgusting decision!
Can’t find a quality video online to watch it and score it while sober, I guess I’ll try that amateur video, will be a nice change.
Well, when sober it looks even more like a robbery. I have it 116-113, even throwing an even round in there to be sure Martinez is very well treated. Salido dominated from the 5th round on, it’s impossible to score the fight for Martinez or even. Martinez stayed active, but the bulk of the hitting was done by Siri.
I wished more people commented on this, what do you think of the decision? People on Youtube agree with me. Sadly, this piracy didn’t receive much media coverage. BTW, the amateur video was superb, the guy was really doing a good job, thanks @AllTheBestFights.com for this find :)
…a bit of a robbery…not the most scandalous Ive seen though
