Overall both of the fights were good. Quillin looked like he faded and that weight was an issue. He caught Lee early but Lee came back strong. If quillin let his hands go more often I think he couldn't have been denied but he didn't. Lee showed great resilence to battle back. That left there all night cause quillin kept dropping his right hand. Wouldn't mind a rematch.

As far as the main event, I think Swift won but Lamont boosted his stock in his loss. I feel like he started too slow but when he brought the fight to swift in the last half, he landed cleaner shots and he seemed to handle the power from Garcia well. I thought Garcia lost to Herrera but barely survived this one. I do think he looked bad in this fight because he didn't really attack the body which kept Lamont fresh and able to move.

I wouldn't mind a rematch but I think Lamont would win if he brings the fight from round 1, he looked like a different fighter from the dude who matthysse devoured.

I think Quillin right now probably would lose to GGG if he fights like he did tonight. Great fights tonight. Very enjoyable

The best part of this Gift fiasco, it's on supposedly free tv. So now, more viewers can jump back to the age old mantra of boxing is fixed. Thanks Al. You're so great for the sport. Instead of just letting the right fighter win, the house fighter needs to be kod twice to lose.

That shyt shouldn't matter. As a judge it is your job to maintain objectivity.
I wish it didn't but we all know that emotions sometimes creep up when they shouldn't. Maybe this can be a lesson to Lamont; Don't give the judges any reason to dislike you.

How can you honestly put this on Al. We've got people in this very thread saying that Danny won, are they on the payroll too? Come on.

I have to rewatch the first 7 rounds, because they were tough to score. At a certain point I held it against Lamont that he wasn't throwing enough. He was making Swift miss, but Swift was at least landing body shots on the way out.

I gave Lamont the 1st and 4 out of the last 5 rounds, and ended up with 114-114. Lamont ended up looking better, and Danny looks so weak.

He didn't have Danny hurt at that point. That left hook still had power behind it around that time. He was smart to not tale a chance with Garcia

Garcia didn't hurt him either and he was landing cleaner imo. :yeshrug: It's a risk worth taking, and not as risky as you think.

Farhood had it for Garcia, Rafael had it a draw, and Iole had it 115-113 Peterson, which is a round swinging the other way on the official scorecards. Don't get why people acting like Peterson ran away with this, I didn't score it as it went along but I thought Peterson fought a good fight while dikking around too much when he should've been committed to throwing punches.

Remember when people used to argue 'when a fighter loses the closing rounds in a close championship fight, he loses.' Now when it's Danny, they want to go to the first 3 rounds and give him the fight based on that. Three rounds he lost might I add, he just lost those less convincingly :russ:

117-111 DMV excellence. Lamont might be OK at 147, he looked really good out there.
