I had the fight 115-113 Meehan. a 10-8 round in rd 8 is possible...but its too subjective ( even if brewster was getting his ass beat to a pulp....so you stick to the rules 10-9 rd if there was no knockdown).

All scorecards were within 2 points of eachother...and there is certainly one or 2 rounds that could be seen either way ( in the 1st round, they could have run around in circles and it could have been easier to score)...I can see 115-113 either way.

Two things bother me about this desicion. The judges all had the 12th round scored for brewster....which sugests that the fix was in! NO WAY BREWSTER WON RD 12. Those punch stats I gaurentee favored Meehan HUGE!!...and Don King suggesting that Evander was next in line and that Meehan was not in line for a rematch solidified that the fix was in....or those judges were seeing some other fight ( in rd 12)

It makes me sad because boxing is my favorite sport...and over the last 15 years, I see it going the way of wrestling ( fixed outcomes...based on financial issues...point in case De La Hoya vs Sturm). Like I said I dont mind it being 115-113 either way....but the 12th round was pretty clear cut. This is why i am having to have problems forking out money for PPV ( this was on SHO so I didnt have to pay a thing). One thing I did see today was the price of the Hopkins/De La Hoya PPV was 59.99. WTF? Sports bar or replay on HBO!!!!

Anyways....sorry for the long rant!
