Muhammad Ali vs Jimmy Young - The scoring thread

[Robinson]

That be true as that is generally always the case GI. I have seen fights in the flesh that
looked different on film.

At home you get multiple angles and so on to see things. I do not
know what this fight would have been like live, but from my
angle it was for Young.

[Goodnight, Irene]

Yes, Young certainly won, but in closer fights, the difference between live & television can make or break a scorecard, & if you're using YouTube, that can only further muddy the waters.

In this case, however, Young won hands down.

[Robinson]

Score Hagler-Leonard.
I have it on good DVD so I can enjoy it with supreme
quality

[Goodnight, Irene]

I have it as well, though the DVD quality isn't the best. Passable, though.

[Collins2000]

Irene, you simpleton, stop PMing me.

I just delete them without even opening them.

I have no wish to communicate further with you on any matters and that is why you are on "ignore" with the other eejits like BRR amd Elmo.

(I may, however, mention your ridiculous name when I am making an analogy involving weak, limp-wristed poseurs.)

[Goodnight, Irene]

Um, you asked me to PM you, mate. Now, you're backpeddling

[Collins2000]

Kym, if Leonard vs Hearns TWO is on Youtube, maybe we could give that one a whirl next.

[Robinson]

Deal, I have that on DVD, but I am pretty certain it would be up on
YT.

I shall be happy to score that one. As I have yet to do it

[Collins2000]

I too have it on DVD but I am away from home at the moment so will need to avail myself of good old youtube.

I'll check tonight.

[The Great John L]

It looks like they just pretty much voted for the meal ticket until he was so far ahead that it was safe to actually score a round correctly.

If the officials saw it this way, that that's the way it is. They are trained professionals and you should not be attempting this at home. I did and obviously got it all wrong as a result. This is the age of Obama and if it has taught us one thing it should be that you should never question authority. They had/have the situation well in hand.

These trained pro's saw something you don't see. Sometimes you just gotta be there. They were there and you weren't, case closed.


Being serious.....Now I admit I did give the champion a round or two when I thought the round was essentially a draw. This is not a fight that should have seen a changing of champions IMHO.

[elmersalsa]

It was a complete robbery. If Ali won 3 rounds, that was enough.

Except for the simple reason that Young won most of the rounds.

BTW, what does Obama have to do with this? Was he one of the judges?

Your love for Joe?

Sure I can, brother.

It's like my love for a bacon sandwich on the way to work.

Undeniable.

PS Come back later when you start getting the PM treatement from Irene when she is menopausal. You'll be singing a different song then.
