...and sincerely CLOSES the book for you?

Seems we have a myriad of values on this one regarding the closely fought/ more competitive events.

For me, the judges are part of the game. So It's #1 for me always and forever....but i'm very much drawn to #3, When/If I can figure out just who that is. Sometimes maybe only the fighters really know.

It's such a muddy question...I'm allowing everyone two answers. lol

Well, they're my opinions, my rankings, the way I view the fights and the fighters, so naturally I'll trust my own eyes and judgment.

Granberry leads! (for the moment)

You have some posters here that appreciate your viewpoint, Gran.

Come on back.

I say it's Whatever "YOU" decide cos everyone scores a fight there own way

I sort of agree and yet... You can't have a system whereby on second viewing you think a different guy won.

#2 closest, although I don't like the depending on mood part. I trust my own judgement above anybody else's.

Get the general boxing press perception. So none of the above really.

Assuming its a fight I watched... Judges first but then again, look at a fight like Chisora vs Helenius... there may actually only be three people in the world that thought Helenius won that, those being himself and two of the judges... and of course Chisora has got the better fight as a result...

For me it is a mixture between the first two options.

The OFFICIAL scorecard should always be acknowledged but I always try to remember how I scored fights - and most of the time I agree with the judges, but there have been numerous occasions whrere I have disagreed.

I always score the fights and naturally agree with my opinion. However if it's a close fight that could've gone either way and say I score 115-113 one way and the judges score it for the other fighter I usually have no problem excepting that.

Same here. Sometime i think that fighters should have to win by more than 4 rounds on the 3 cards put together, or call it a draw.

Always have to respect the judges in my opinion, sadly there is a problem with that to (corruption, mobsters, Don King) but in the end it´s the judges decision wich ends up in the record books even though i don´t always have the same winner.

It's the man who is declared the winner, simple as that. If you agree with the decision or not the 'official' result is the result that goes down in history and ensures that the 'W' is put next to the winners name.

Although to be fair it doesn't seem to matter these days, you lose and you still get a title shot.
