The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Don't think anyone could feasibly dominate a fight that competitive, more swing rounds than any fight I can think of off the top if my head. Especially as, at most you had it by two points :huh

I had it 114-113 Barrera based on the kd call in the 12th.

 

I thought Marco won the 1st fight clearly, but I also thought Morales definitely won the second fight, so it kind of cancels fight No 1's robbery out.

 

I always find myself enjoying the Morales-Barrera fights so much I cant be bothered to score them.

 

John Locicero vs. Caveman Lee.
Curtis Parker vs. Alex Ramos.

Underrated classics. Thoughts later...

 

Make sure you post your scorecard, mate. Me and Atberry have been going back n forth on that fight for ages.

 

Toney vs Johnson, 114-113 Johnson

Toney 4,5,6,7,8 & 12 Johnson 1,2(10-8 ),3,9,10,11

Very good fight

 

Will do mate, Ill post my card tonight:thumbsup

 

Yeah your right probably the wrong word, put wrong also, I just felt Barrera was winning the rounds I gave him more desicively wheras, the rounds I scored for Morales were much closer rounds.

 

Finally got around to watching the James toney-eggie Johnson fight. A very good fight, with some very good exchanges and skillsets on display. For me I think the fact that Johnson was that little bit more active, showed superior ring generalship and generally landed more punches nicked the fight for him. He started faster than James and swept the first four rounds crucially. I scored the fight 115-112 for Johnson, and that may make it seem like he won it clearly. However this was a tough fight to score, and many of the rounds could have swung either way, depending on what you liked from either fighter, James's heavier punches or reggie's activity. I may score the fight differently next time I watch it but heres how I saw it now.


Round 1: 10-9 Johnson
Round 2: 10-8 Johnson
Round 3: 10-9 Johnson
Round 4: 10-9 Johnson

i dunno where to find Flea Man so this is getting posted here

I watched the fight Flea, I had it 7-5 for Roman, the rounds I gave were as follows;

Roman- 1,4,5,7,9,10,12
Watanabe- 2,3,6,8,11

It was totally a chess match, and Roman simply made more winning moves on the board, and only just about, although he did look like the only winner over the duration, regardless of the close nature of the bout.

Straight away Roman showed tactical and strategic acumen by circling to his own left to get away from the potent straight southpaw left of Watanabe down the pipe. Roman, a good classic style counter puncher was comfortable in his ability to take it to the jab conest over the top of Watanabe's right and he did that to good effect.

In round 2 I was really impressed with the footwork of Watanabe, he began to step in and off to angles to lure his man onto sweet counters. That was one thing that can be said of Watanabe on this night, he did the cleaner work, he was the more 'skilled' fighter as it were, and that was reflected in the type of scoring he got done. What I thought that was most telling was what came in the early-mid rounds, and that was that Roman pressed the action as he was coming to understand that Watanabe was both a skilled technician and puncher at range, so Roman got close and let a combo rip inside, he then fancied that kind setting for mainly the rest of the fight and he was simply the better man in those close quarters, he outworked and outfought his man much inside. In one of the mid rounds though, Watanabe took on the aggressor role and Roman was very composed in countering and fighting off the ropes, and also quite comfortable getting away from the ropes and taking it back to mid ring, whilst punching all the while. This was rhe biggest factor- Roman was comfortable at Watanabe's range, and he was clearly the better man at his own range. This gave him the edge.

 

:hi: Sounds about right and most definitely a chess match. Agree entirely that it was Romans extra range that allowed him to earn the victory. At mid-range it was looking too close to call.
