Jaime Arboleda vs. Nicolas Polanco

Some ******** went down here tonight!

In both the main and Co Main both favourites were dropped not once but twice and still won given the decision victory!! Jaime Arboleda for sure Lost!!!!  Boxing always does this ****, you think it happens a lot in the big fights on PPV or TV. The fights off TV, or in smaller halls it happens nearly every event! 

Damn thats like the amateurs... I know theres ranked amateurs and non registered amateur bouts you have to kind of count yourself, but I have stories from friends who boxed of dominant performances they put on the hometown/homeclub fighter but still lost a decision...

100% agree, it was a fight that went quite uphill for Alboleda when he was knocked down twice in the first 4 rounds. Then in the second half he boxed much better and even landed the heaviest punches, but he still almost got knocked down in the ninth round. I began to see the fight from the 5th round and from my perspective the fight was 5-1 in favor of Alboleda (between Round 5 to 10), but it is unlikely that in an uphill fight of the first 4 rounds Polanco would only have won the round where got the knockdowns (as scored by 2 of the 3 judges). I had intended to go see this boxing card, but it went under my radar (I even forgot to make the picks). I watched the second half of the fight on TV with my brother and we both agreed that if the judges ruled a majority draw they were already doing a lot for Jaime. Alboleda is perhaps one of the highest currently ranked in my country, but nationalism (always supporting athletes from my country) does not prevent me from recognizing that the result of this fight was greatly influenced by localism and by the difference in the rankings.
