Greatest Scoring Discrepancy Of Alltime

[Seamus]

Off hand the biggest I can think of is Minter v Antuofermo I with one judge having Minter winning by 12 while another had Antuofermo ahead by 2 for a total difference of 14 pts. For some reason I seem to recall one as bad or worse coming out of Japan in the lower weights, but I'll have to find it first.

1960-01-22 Sugar Ray Robinson L-SD15 Paul Pender
judge: Joe Santoro 147-138 | judge: John Norton 142-148

[Rover]

Pintor/Zarate was quite wide.
Or how about Mijares/Navarro where one judge had it 120-108 Navarro while the other two scored for Mijares.
Jones/Canizales was also huge.

[Rover]

It was an UD, but how about Czyz/O'Mara? One judge had it 100-71! Another had it 100-89.

[Rover]

Sanchez/Cowdell was also huge; how one judge had that fight for Cowdell is beyond me.

[Rover]

Kenny Keene v. Bobby Crabtree:
One judge had it 120-108 for Keene.
Another had it 119-111 for Crabtree.

It was an UD, but how about Czyz/O'Mara? One judge had it 100-71! Another had it 100-89.

How the hell do you wind up with the 100-71 scorecard? Was he scoring rounds 10-5 or something?

no it was an even fight until the tenth
he scored it 10-to negative 29
real bad round for o'mara


yeah no idea how you can score a fight like that

Off hand the biggest I can think of is Minter v Antuofermo I with one judge having Minter winning by 12 while another had Antuofermo ahead by 2 for a total difference of 14 pts. For some reason I seem to recall one as bad or worse coming out of Japan in the lower weights, but I'll have to find it first.

The British judge who scored it 149-137 (Roland Dankin) was accused of signally Minter's corner, if I remember correctly. He gave Antuofermo one round despite that fact that it was a close fight and Antuofermo was credited with a knockdown (although dubious).

One of the great Japanese scores was Katsushige Kawashima defending his belt in Japan vs Jose Navarro. Scores were 115-114, 115-113 for the local fighter, 120-109 for Navarro

One of the older fights I remember a big disparity in was in Venezuela in 1965, when Eddie Perkins defended against local star, Carlos Hernandez. Hernandez won a split decision, with two Venezuelan judges scoring it 146-142, 143-142 for the local guy and the great Henry Armstrong scoring it 150-139 for Perkins: a swing of 15 points.

[giacomino]

Another 15-point swing came when Ki-Soo Kim, the guy who won a split decision vs Nino Benvenuti in South Korea to take his junior mw belt, got a split decision in 1967 defending against American Freddie Little in South Korea. Two South Korean judges scored it 72-68, 71-69 for Kim, and the American judge scored it 75-64 for Little.

Turns out both Pender vs Robinson bouts had huge discrepancies in the scoring. 15 in the first, 16 in the second.

He scored a bunch of 10-7s, obviously, and there weren't any knockdowns even!

Actually, if it were even through 9, it would be 90-90, and -29 would reduce George's score to 61!
10--19 Czyz in the 10th!

What is it with Navarro fights? Mijares/Navarro was even wider in terms of a gap than Kawashima/Navarro!

[Rover]

He was using that one guy's scoring method...Evander?

Turns out both Pender vs Robinson bouts had huge discrepancies in the scoring. 15 in the first, 16 in the second.

Not quite Keene/Crabtree, Mijares/Navarro or Czyz/O'Mara territory, though!
