Canelo is still the face of boxing. Tank has a long way to go to get there and he probably never will unless he beats a couple of Haney, Stevenson, Loma etc which is a big ask.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 11:01 When you're asked if you think your the face of boxing and then you keep saying you are the face of boxing..
You're not the face of boxing.
Even if Garcia was clearly winning the second round despite the knockdown, shouldn't it be scored 9-9? Or if he was cleeeaaarly winning 9-8? Where the hell did that 10-10 come from?WestEndRiot wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 04:27I really like those cards. Garcia was clearly winning R2 for 2 minutes, Tank didn't land a single punch. Garcia was aggressive, landed a few and Tank kept jumping in and holding.
It is unusual for it not to be 10-8, but I feel 10-9, or even 10-10 is a more fair reflection, and I'd like to see it more often
Barring a point deduction, atleast one guy has to get 10 points. A drawn round is 10-10, not 9-9.JackSprocket wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 12:53Even if Garcia was clearly winning the second round despite the knockdown, shouldn't it be scored 9-9?

I'm pretty sure I've seen rounds with multiple knockdowns officially scored 8-7 or something like that...joshj909 wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 13:14Barring a point deduction, atleast one guy has to get 10 points.

I do agree that there should be more 10-10s (for nothing rounds - esp R1s) and 10-8s given a little more generously AND more 9-9s and whatnot - rather than the automatically brain-free 10-8...,JackSprocket wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 12:53Even if Garcia was clearly winning the second round despite the knockdown, shouldn't it be scored 9-9?

Well fair play to both of you, but Tank was the favourite. I didn't see (m)any saying, "This fight is 66/33 in the betting but it really should be 92/8" (like it was after 4 mins).DrDuke wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 12:20Me too.
I'm not sure about that. If I'm not mistaken, a knockdown doesn't automatically prompt a point taken off the boxer knocked down, it just usually does. So a draw is still a 10-10. 10-9 would be a close round as each boxer had their dominant spells with Garcia dominating for 2 minutes while Tank scored the knockdown.IKSRTFO wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 13:55A drawn round in this case would be a 10-9 round.joshj909 wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 13:14Barring a point deduction, atleast one guy has to get 10 points.
