How Often is Harold Lederman Dead Wrong

busstonedfx · 03-20-2013, 12:12 AM

What % of his scorecards do you guys think had the wrong guy winning? More than 50%?

I ask because I was watching the Bradley card fight last night, and Lederman had Omotoso winning, but Vargas got the decision.

I'd say in close fights he's probably around 30% wrong. He's not a complete idiot but he's an idiot. With that said, he's another idiot that's got to go from HBO.

I'd say 75 percent of the time he's dead wrong and the announcing is horrendous 90 percent of the time. They try to paint a picture of what they want you to see or try to make excitement. They should try to report what is actually going on.

Great guy and very knowledgable. Boxing is a very subjective sport when it comes to judging. Whoever has gone to a live fight knows it is different from watching it on TV.

I often disagree with him. His cards aren't garbage, but a round or two can make a big difference and I often find disagree with his margins.

I don't take him very seriously... even when he's right.

I disagree with him probably 15-20% of the time. Doesn't seem like much, but it really is...
