Re: Pacquiao v Mayweather: Your scorecards

This is my gripe, I like floyds fighting style, moat of the time anyways, I've never gotten into the whole "running" thing, until this fight. This was no master class, like some say. It was close. Floyd v corrales, Mosley and Canelo, now they were master classes, and to a lesser extent ha...

Re: Pacquiao v Mayweather: Your scorecards

On Saturday May 2nd, I had it 116-112, Mayweather Today i watched again and decided to watch it muted. Also, instead of just giving rounds - i explained why the second time around. Today May 5th : Round 1 - Floyd - not much action, but Floyd dictated pace and landed cleaner shots Round 2 - Manny - ...

Re: Mundine vs Dawson

Dawson KOs Mundine, but Rabchenko KOs him first -which may retire him. 10 yrs ago, maybe even 5, different story

Re: DUCO Promotions offers Mundine 1 million to fight Horn

I can't see Mundine beating any of those mentioned above, so it may well be a case of who pays the most then retire

He spanked soliman like no one else ever has too. and for what its worth thought the first fight with geale was a legit win. he's definitely got a few solid wins, but I would agree it could have been so much better I thought he lost the first fight against Geale, and if I didn't understand the &quo...

Re: Decisions - the taboo subject

Some experienced judges still score a round 10-10 but I've been told not to score even rounds. There are many factors where you can actually give the round one way. So even though its a close round to the eye, that's why you might have some different scores on the cards. You can only score the figh...

Re: Decisions - the taboo subject

I've just started judging and the job is not as easy as it looks. Some rounds can be very close and you have to go one way or the other. A fighter can dominate the round and win 10-9 but can just get shaded in the next round and its an even fight. It's a tough job but one I've really been enjoying....

Re: Decisions - the taboo subject

The main problem is the scoring system is OPINION based, have you ever had the same opinion on every little issue as another person? The first 2 rules of boxing (ring generalship, effective aggression) a judge must decide whether boxer A or boxer B had the advantage. This is not like other codes e....

Re: Decisions - the taboo subject

Should there be more emphasis placed on the 10-8 round? Where a guy dominates a round its 10-8 and where he just does enough to win or edges the other guys its 10-9. A KD and a dominate round is 10-7. Where as a KD and a close round thereafter or before the KD is still 10-8? Yes mate,I think it sho...

Re: Decisions - the taboo subject

Completely agree Sweet P. Its not the shades of grey decisions that I, and fighters get upset with. It is the clear winners which don't get the decision. It seems to be much more for fighters fighting away from home. If there is true objectivity, then there should be no such thing as "home town...

Decisions - the taboo subject

We all see decisions that could go either way, sometimes they go one way, sometimes they go the other. When you see a fighter clearly dominate a fight, and the other fighter get the nod, it gets a little hard to take. How do you get around it? Get interstate judges for state titles and international...

Re: Mundine hypothetical

dont care Me neither. I don't want to hear, see, smell or otherwise of Mundine until he regains some credibility. To those who say he has done a lot for Australian boxing, I disagree. I think he has done a lot of harm, making a credible sport into a political/ entertainment spectacle. Fighting bums...

No disrespect at all taken mate :TU: If fights are close then you gotta say that the boxers skills are close. You can add that one fighter had less true skill but got the other to box his fight eg. counter punching, making it a brawl etc etc. That happens a lot, but it also takes skill to make your ...

In the no. I completely disagree, as I'm sure Sharpy would. Van Diemen was lucky to Eek out a draw against him, and if you think that about Lucas, then by inference, you are saying that about his opponents too. I think Lucas won the fight, and ill have a look at the Video once available to get "...

Re: Lucas "Big Daddy" Browne vs Richard "Inferno" Towers

It is a real shame that Government departments can't reach a decision and stick by it. Completely disagree with their decision not to grant Towers a visa. Where would he run to? Is he going to commit a crime unnoticed? Onto Walker. I think Lucas will KO him in the later rounds. He is too clever for ...

Any thaughts on this one? Seems a great match up with them being previous sparring partners with the Hatton camp. Big Daddy coming off an impressive win against Toney, and Towers sparring the Klitchkos. My thoughts are Lucas is probably too good for him, but i haven't seen to much of Towers outside ...
