It is not possible to score a bout 108-108. If you mean that all rounds were even (because they were shite) then the bout would end 120-120.handsofstone wrote: ↑06 Oct 2018, 18:53 Fvck me that was tough, I had Catterall nicking it 115-114 with no conviction whatsoever, I could've easily scored it 108-108 as both guys were fcvking dreadful, both lazy, both cautious, both one paced and both lacking boxing brains tonight, Davies has never had a high ring IQ but Catterall does have something about him but he looks like he fights the wrong fight a lot of the time, he's much better when he's aggressive and pressing the action, Davies too is better when forcing things but his right hand must still be plastered to the jaw of Paul Kamenga because it was MIA tonight, just incredible that he never let it go at all
He didn't even compensate by throwing many good lefts apart from some nice jabs here and there, Catterall came over with some nice left hands but he was poor too, neither guy wins against a solid European level fighter IMO, what were they thinking in there tonight? that was woeful

I think we're all implying that both guys didnae' do enough to win a single round !rossij8 wrote: ↑06 Oct 2018, 19:28I got it...prewarboxing wrote: ↑06 Oct 2018, 19:20It is not possible to score a bout 108-108.

Going to watch the Shapr Woodstock fight later as I went to bed to get up and watch UFC . What I saw before it last night was poor, except Sam Bowen.

That's it, couldn't think who it was he reminded me of!
Remember Hatton made several defences of that WBU belt lol. Few memorable defences to be fair but he had that strap a long time man...Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 07:09 Just seen that this was Catterall’s 9th defence of the WBO belt that he has. Bloody hell. If he’s not #1 ranked then who is? Feels like he been fighting for ages!!
Yeh. I think Franky sold him as a world champion too.Stuarty wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 08:14Remember Hatton made several defences of that WBU belt lol.

Not trying to be sarcastic at all. Just pointing out a technicality that's all.

In a 10 point must system, would it be 10-10 I guess. I prefer 9-9prewarboxing wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 08:20Not trying to be sarcastic at all. Just pointing out a technicality that's all.

A little question for you on a similar line. British rules. You win the round but get a point deducted for a low blow. How does the referee score the round?

I concur. It was a dreadful contest. Watched it in the pub with some non-boxing mates and told them it should be a good honest 50/50 matchup. Most of them cleared off after about five rounds.handsofstone wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 08:32Jesus Prewar it was me being sarcastic with the 108-108 lineprewarboxing wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 08:20Not trying to be sarcastic at all.
