Leonard-Hearns II. Rd.5

Post by witherspoon »

I am going 10-8, but seems like a borderline case - Hearns fighting back, hurt but not helpless.
Do you favour Tommy's survival tactics or give Leonard the point for offense?
Seems to me a textbook example of a round that will split opinions.

Scoring is a pet peeve of mine due to some ridiculous discrepancies in the way it's done. The round that was almost 10-8 and the round that could have gone either way, but was still scored 10-9 for fighter A) (I couldn't score 10-10 because that would be indecisive) end up being equal to each other. That being said, YES, I scored it 10-8 for Leonard and it was the most decisive round of the fight. Hearns took more wicked head shots in the 5th than Leonard did in the 3rd or 11th.
