    Didn't score it but it looked to me like Prescott won. When the home fighter 'wins' by only one or two points.. he usually didn't really win IMO

    i think all three judges in the pacman fight scored that a 10-9 round. The KD last last fight looked like he used his fore arm

    You don't have to score the round 10-8.

    If you think McCloskey was winning it, 10-9 to Prescott is fine.

    I thought Prescott won the round, so it's 10-8 for me.

    No problem - I didn't feel it was a knockdown but Prescott clearly won it so I scored it 10-9. Contrary to what you might believe a standing count isn't a direction from a referee to a judge to score a round 10-8. I wouldn't disagree with anyone who did score it 10-8 but personally I felt it was a slip so I scored it 10-9.

    I feel McCloskey won the last round so it socred it 10-9 McCloskey, it's no brainer really.

    I only score 10-9 if the other fighter was clearly winning the round before the KD. Really it was fairly even but Prescott was controlling with the jab, so 10-8 was the right score.

    Honestly, the bias that people apply to their scoring is hilarious. That was a knockdown, scrappy as it was, so ignoring it just makes it obvious you're trying to give McCloskey credit that he doesn't deserve.

    I do think he did well later on, but not well enough to take a win.

    Prescott 115-112 McCloskey

    I don't see how the KD in the first is any less legitimate than the one Abner Mares scored against Joey Agbeko in the first round of their fight.

    No, but you should consider it. To give the round to Prescott as was and to ignore the KD, then you're just applying the rules selectively. It was a 10-8.

    I had McCloskey by one round, clearly Prescott lost the last 6 rounds anyway the way i saw it he did nothing other than land one decent punch in the 12th I think. Possibly Prescott could have had a draw. The one judge that had McCloskey winning by 2 rounds was taking the ****.

    I see what your saying. But the ref did score it a knockdown, and Prescott clearly won the round, so it's surely a 10-8 round no? The punch for me was more legal than Mosley's judo throw of Pac, even if it wasn't the cleanest shot ever. But I can't fathom how anyone could score the 12th to McCloskey. It was a close round before Prescott hit him and wobbles him badly. Dudey was pretty much all over the place for the last 30 seconds, and had to be helped onto his stall.

    Of course it should be considered and I did consider it, and having considered it - I didn't consider a knock down.

    I see what your saying too, and correct the ref 'concluded' it was a knockdown but essentially he doesn't 'score it' a knockdown. Definately looked a lot cleaner than the Mosley-Pac incident but I genuinely believe it was a slip.

    Agree McCloskey was well tired in the last round but I thought he still did more of the effective scoring in that round. He knew it was close and gave everything in that round and showed a bit of cuteness by holding later in the round when the round was in the bag. I agree that he was all over the place but I still felt he won the round.
