WBO bantamweight champion Jason “Mayhem” Moloney (27-2, 19 KOs) scored a hotly contested twelve round majority decision over Saul Sanchez (20-3, 12 KOs) on Saturday night at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Close rounds with both fighters having their moments. Brutal toe-to-toe exchanges down the stretch. Scores were 114-114, 116-112, 116-112. Great fight!
What a fight
When ring announcer asked for an applause for both fighters it says everything
I think moloney won but 116-112 don’t deflect what really happened in the ring
Sanchez did a good fight but when he moved to the ropes gave advantage to moloney
Moloney did a great fight too he showed heart and he was lightly faster
I’m happy with the fight I got chills
In the compubox numbers sanchez was better than moloney but these numbers not always applied to the case
This time I agree Sanchez Sanchez lost by slice of sausage
I calming down because my adrenaline was running so fast
This was a good fight both guys had the moments.
This is the type of fight I hate to see someone get a L.
The difference was Moloney adjusting to fight in close
I scored it 114-114
But 115-113 either way is fine
116-112 to Moloney is a bit wide but can understand as well
Congratulations to both fighters putting on a magic display!
Both have huge hearts!
The experience of Moloney fighting at this level and his ability to adjust to neutralize Samchez, where the factors why he won.
I hope Saul S. get a chance of dancing once more with Moloney. I was rooting for Sanchez and his Cinderella story
I saw Maloney lose the fight, but I guess it could have gone either way. I don’t think Maloney is elite he has just been given the right opportunities.
Maloney has dedicated his life to boxing,fought the best ,ranked for ages! He has worked for his opportunities,not gifted them. He has earned his ranking and respect!
I’m an Australian the fighters like Moloneys brothers Goodman Hardman etc need more news exposures in Australia
He’s a club fighter at best . That was supposed to be an easy defence from top rank , yet Maloney made a meal of it . He’s at the level of a top 15 contender but has a belt
An early contender for fight of the year!Good to see contributors’ appreciation of truly great boxing.
I had it 116 112 Sanchez…but this is no robbery. Lots of close rounds with little separation.
It’s not robbery but 116-112 looks like robbery
116-112 isn’t robbery. So many close rounds judges obviously gave those to the champ. I expected a draw myself
I had the fight a draw, but either one deserved to win, but not the 116-112. Hopefully they will have a rematch. Sanchez deserves that.
Well, my prediction just took a .
it would be very interesting to see how the judges scored it round by round.
every now and then you get a match-up were both fighters are made for each other, this has to be run back.
great fight both fighters gave it there all maybe a rematch
